At the turn of the twenty-third century, humanity has colonized much of our solar system. The emerging Sol System culture, largely independent of Earth, is based on asteroid mining and low-gravity processing and manufacturing. The capital city of Mars, Hawkington, is the hub of government, industry, science and technology, education, and the arts. Humanity has faced and overcome the challenges of colonizing space and the resurrection of a nearly-destroyed home world. But is it prepared for the next challenge?
Dashing tales of heroics and everyday life abound in the second System Apocalypse short story anthology. Competing alien and human settlements clash, and a simple party planner is caught between in After Party. A New York trashman and his friend fight off loan sharks and exploit the System for gain, finding treasure among others garbage in Completely Trashed and a prisoner must decide between his humanity and humanity itself in WWMRD?
With over ten stories from exciting new voices and a few veterans of the universe, the second anthology highlights the lives and struggles of humanity's best and worst years after System advent.

Sometimes what you're buying isn't what they're expecting to sell
Earth as a new Dungeon World means opportunities and dangers galore. One of the enduring aspects of the System is the Shop, an interdimensional series of stores that compete for the opportunity to service clients and make a profit doing so.
New clients on a new Dungeon World mean rare and heretofore unseen items and massive profits. No surprise that the vultures have arrived, searching for easy marks.
Good thing the Council have their own methods of dealing with such matters.
Interdimensional Window SHOPping is a short story set in the System Apocalypse universe created by Tao Wong. The System Apocalypse is a completed post-apocalyptic LitRPG series.

Recommended by Dyslexia Assessor Craig Keane, Director of Develop Us in Wales. 'I'm a specialist dyslexia assessor and teacher. I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn't expecting to learn much from the book because I'm a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!'
'While reading this book, I have several 'Ah ha!' moments that explain my child's behaviour. The book made me feel I had confided all my concerns to her, and she gave me answers. I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many 'whys?' and what I need to know about my child.' Amazon review.
A protective boyfriend. A girlfriend who wants to fit in. Can love give them the strength to face the ugly secrets they’re hiding?CAM:
She’s the most precious person in my life. I’d do anything for Bianca... except introduce her to my family. I know she wants to meet them, but I can’t predict what my dad might do. How can I tell her that?
Our ugly family secret stays locked within our house, just the way Mum wants it to be. I won’t expose Bianca to it. But she’s starting to pull away from me. I can feel the wedge growing between us, and I don’t know how to stop it.
Maybe she’s hiding something from me too. The light in her eyes doesn’t shine so bright these days. I wish I could figure out what is eating at her. Life is so much easier when I can just paste on a smile and pretend that everything’s sweet. But maybe I can’t this time. Maybe I have to let her into the dark side of my world… or I could lose her forever.
Becky always loved visiting her dad in New Zealand until she returns during the pandemic.
Now he’s got a baby with her new stepmum and everything has changed. Worse still, her windsurfer hasn’t arrived yet, so there’s nothing for her to do but wait for Mum who is stuck overseas.
Then Becky finds a strange stone at Whale Bay and her luck changes. She makes new friends, joins an environmental group, borrows a windsurfer, and has several close encounters with a bottlenose dolphin who simply won’t leave her alone.
But what is wrong with the dolphin? Is it trying to tell her something? Is it sick? And who are the people poaching fish from the marine reserve? How is it all connected? Becky must find a way to solve it all.
Just Keep Going is a story of blended families, new friendships, marine pollution, a magical stone, a persistent dolphin, and a young girl with a strong will to succeed, adapting to life in a new country.

Can I really make this thing with Cam a reality? I want him so badly, but I promised Stacey I’d stick with her no matter what. How do I protect both sides of my heart? How do I choose between love and loyalty?
