Search for the Any Key
ByPublisher Description
What if the key you're searching for isn't what you expect?
Or was never meant to be found?
Inspired by the familiar command to "press any key," this anthology gathers stories of quests where the treasure is uncertain, the rules are unclear, and the outcome is never guaranteed.
Across genres and worlds, writers explore searches for power, truth, survival, compassion, and meaning. Sometimes on Earth, sometimes far beyond it.
In Search for the Any Key, jungles conceal deadly secrets, frozen landscapes test the heart, technology reshapes human desire, and myth walks quietly beside the modern world.
Some seekers uncover riches. Others find loss, transformation, or revelation. And some discover that the real prize lies not in the finding, but in the seeking.
Open the door.
If you can find the key.

Carol Hightshoe
A native Texan, Carol found her way to her current home in Colorado by way of a five-year detour in The Nederlands - courtesy of her husband Tim and the US Air Force.
An avid reader at a young age, her strong desire to write came from her love of (her husband calls it her obsession with) Star Trek. It was this early love of Star Trek that led her to the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres.
In addition to her writing she has worked as a receptionist/office manager for two veterinary clinics, a deputy sheriff in El Paso County Colorado and for the Professional Bull Riders.
She has been published in various anthologies and magazines including "Creature Fantastic", "Illuminated Manuscripts", PanGaia Magazine, "Stories of Strength", "The Stygian Soul", Baen's Universe, Tales of the Talisman and Beyond Centauri.
She is also a contributing author to Dragon Moon Press's "Complete Guide to Writing Science Fiction".
She is the editor and publisher of the online ezines: The Lorelei Signal and Sorcerous Signals. She also runs her own micro-press - WolfSinger Publications.
