Books By Tom Howard
Weird can be funny, weird can be sad, weird can be thoughtful, weird can be mad, but the one thing in common is that weird shares experiences you have, thankfully, never had.
Just be careful, all little bunnies are not nice, but they are memorable.

Nobody can really say.
“Everybody was in a different War. Nobody's War is quite the same as anyone else's.”
These words were from a Vietnam Veteran counselor.
Truer words have never been spoken, so in this book we don't try to answer the question.
Instead we bring you thoughtful stories not only of War, but the people affected, and the aftermath.
In this book you'll find stories of alternative Wars as imagined by 26 authors of speculative fiction. Perhaps some of them will provide some insight into why we keep repeating what simply seems like a really bad idea.
From undercover robots to shape shifting soldiers, the twenty-one stories in this wide-ranging anthology explore what happens when the mask comes off.
We all wear masks, whether they are the literal costumes of superheroes and bank robbers or the metaphorical shrouds that obscure our real selves. Unmaksed explores these attempts to conceal, the mysteries beneath, and the price we pay when they’re stripped away. Authors ask what happens when your secret identity is revealed. When the monster is unleashed. When the superhero’s child has no power. When Death himself is caught unawares.
Here are twenty-one tales of speculation and fantasy that center on magical masks, gas masks, death masks, superheroes, secret identities, disguised robots, alien symbionts, a Napoleonic thief, a swindling demon, and even a hidden clown.The speculative stories, art, and poetry in this publication are quirky, creepy, fantastic, and just a little weird. Read about a haunting pair of spectacles , a blue freckled girl, and a fairy-knapping minotaur. We have wicked witches, sentient algorithms, and gargantuan bats. Are you sure you want to enter here? You might never go back to normal again.
