K.M. Herkes writes across multiple genres, from Science Fiction and Fantasy to straight up good contemporary literature. She started as a novelist first, oddly enough, then moved to short stories. We read and squeed over her new book “Relics from a Traveling Show”, and dug gleefully through the wide variety of stories in this, her first collection.
