Step into the extraordinary with Nancy Fulda's Dead Men Don't Cry, a masterfully curated collection of eleven science fiction tales that traverse the boundaries of time, space, and consciousness. From lunar pastry deliveries to the ethical quandaries of cloning, Fulda crafts narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are imaginative. In Pastry Run, experience the perils of delivering French confections to the moon, blending humor with high-stakes space travel. Blue Ink delves into the psyche of a child confronting the reality of his own clone, raising questions about identity and autonomy. The Breath of Heaven offers a fresh take on artificial intelligence, where sentient machines grapple with the morality of their directives. And in All Praise to the Dreamer, humanity faces the harrowing choices imposed by alien overlords demanding the sacrifice of gifted children for the greater good. Whether you're a seasoned science fiction aficionado or new to the genre, Dead Men Don't Cry offers a compelling exploration of futuristic landscapes and the human condition. Each story is a testament to Fulda's ability to weave complex themes into captivating narratives that resonate long after the final page.

Known for blending imaginative science fiction concepts with emotional depth, Nancy's work often explores consciousness, identity, and the quiet heroism of everyday people in extraordinary circumstances. The indomitable mother of six children, Nancy lives in Utah with her family, a flourishing backyard ecology, and more unfinished projects than she cares to admit.

In 2024 she was named one of Utah's top 100 AI professionals. PRAISE FOR DR. FULDA'S WRITING
Entertaining, and surprisingly action-filled for a pastry delivery. - The Internet Review of Science Fiction, on Pastry Run As engrossing and brief and clever as a Twilight Zone episode, Fuldas story hooks your attention from the first sentence and stays with you, long past the startling, yet fitting, end. - Tangent Online, on All Praise to the Dreamer A thoughtful and absorbing story about human relationships, and a vivid meditation on letting go even when one doesn't want or doesn't have to. - Tangent Online, on Ghost Chimes
