Fourteen international authors come together in "It's Come to Our Attention" from Third Flatiron Anthologies. Their stories scratch below the surface to unearth a world of hidden gems: Visit a landfill to hear some real trash talk. Bust a conspiracy to change the climate via mind control. Form an unhealthy attachment to your radio. Go down to the basement even though we told you not to. Decide on the pros and cons of immortality. Tell a librarian she would look great without her glasses. Find out what's at the bottom of the wishing well (besides coins). Indulge in a little illegal but highly satisfying genetic tinkering. Acknowledge the debt we all owe to French culture.

It's Come to Our Attention

What does it mean to be “temporally deactivated?” Experience a historical moment through the intervention of a time travel agency. Be trapped inside a time bubble—willingly—so that you can save the universe from Darkness over and over again. Step outside of time at the order of your queen in order to stop a traitor...or to keep an assassin from destroying the future. Or travel forward into the future in order to kill off timelines to save your son...or backwards to halt an accident to save your relationship. Join fantasy and science fiction authors Ken Altabef, Alex Gideon, Stephen Leigh, D.B. Jackson, Faith Hunter, C.S. Friedman, Emily Randall, Gini Koch, Misty Massey, Rhondi Salsitz, Edmund R. Schubert, R.K. Nickel, Marie DesJardin, and Christine Lucas as they defy time and warp space in order to define what it means to be “temporally deactivated.” So get ready and hold on tight. It’s time to step outside of time.
