Athena’s Daughters is a collection of short speculative fiction by some of the industry’s best female authors.

An update on the Athena’s Daughters Kickstarter, which has two days left. If you have supported the Kickstarter, thank you, but there may be some stretch goals that you want to go back and add on, like the Apollo’s Daughters anthology written by some of the best male science fiction and fantasy out there – Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, John Jackson Miller – and which now has original cover art by Joe Corroney and Brian Miller!

Right now a $5 dollar pledge for an ebook or $20 pledge for the paperback will get you the illustrated anthology Athena’s Daughters plus free digital downloads of the following:

Danielle Ackley-McPhail’s novel The Halfling’s Court
Gail Z. Martin’s short story bundle 3 Deadly Curiosities. This bundle includes the short stories “Vanities”, “Steer a Pale Course”, and “Buttons”
Naked Singularity’s album Last Call. This classic-rock and modern-day folk inspired band is led by author Maggie Allen
Danielle Ackley McPhail’s novel Yesterday’s Dreams
Cynthia Ward’s short story “Gabriella”
Sherwood Smith’s novel Crown Duel
Jean Marie Ward’s short story bundle Four For More
Danielle Ackley McPhail’s collection of short stories titled Flash in the Can
Gail Z. Martin’s Jonmarc Vahanian short stories. Included in this bundle are the stories “Raiders’ Curse”, “Caves of the Dead”, and “Storm Surge”
the eBook of Janine K. Spendlove’s novel War of the Seasons, Book 1: The Human
Tera Fulbright‘s short story “Fires Within the Blank Page”
artist Ginger Breo‘s original illustration of the goddess Athena
the audio book for Janine K. Spendlove’s novel War of the Seasons, Book 1: The Human
Janine K. Spendlove’s War of the Seasons short stories “Girl” and “White Flag”
Janine K. Spendlove’s War of the Seasons short stories “World Spins Madly On” and “Fire and Rain”

That’s a lot of stuff for a minimal pledge. An important reminder: A portion of every book sold will go to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization.

There are also opportunities to purchase other neat add-ons, like a special edition hardcover of the anthology or prints of amazing artwork like the one shown below created by artist Ginger Breo.

We’re closing in on $35,000, where Apollo’s Daughters will add two authors – Joshua Palmatier and Donald J. Bingle.

At $38,000 Apollo’s Daughters will have a hardback version available.

At $44,000 would unlock Athena’s Daughters 2 with open submissions!

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO SUPPORT THE KICKSTARTER THAT WILL BRING STORIES ABOUT FEMALE PROTAGONISTS TO THE FORE AND GIVE FEMALE WRITERS A PLATFORM TO SHOW WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF!

If you have supported the Athena’s Daughters Kickstarter, you will be also getting a short story written by me set during the events of my newly released novel Wynde.

Tricia has completed her first novel, Wynde – a military science fiction with a fantastical twist that features heroines Vespa and Gemini. For excerpts and tales of her adventures in creating a fictional universe, hop over to TriciaBarr.com.
