|  | A Butterfly in China - Available to buy
« Thread Started on Mar 30, 2011, 9:00pm » | ![[Quote]](http://images.proboards.com/buttons/quote.gif "[Quote]") |
A Butterfly in China: Stories of the Butterfly Effect is an anthology of stories about when best intentions only make things worse (or vice versa), when the smallest action can cause massive catastrophe. This is a speculative fiction anthology - horror, sci-fi, fantasy and so on. Time travel is popular for this concept, and that's fine, but I'm keen to see stories that go in other directions too.
Wikipedia has a good definition of the term here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

I'm in severe need of a phrenologist for thinking of these stories I write.
Did you know that the frogs in my yard were building arks and collecting pairs of slugs and crickets?

Cool, Dave. The strangest brush with the animal kingdom for me was naming the rats (more like shrews) in my walls--gotta love the island of Guam for inspiration

Thanks for accepting the story.
However, just because I'm awkwardly anal-retentive and obsessive compulsive, It is "A Meteor Struck Lance Last Week" and not "Last Night" as you put in the postings.
It's not you so much as it is me. Once upon a time in my real life an editor (my @#$#$ boss! curse him!) misspelled my last name in a rather prestigious publication. I'm really paranoid about it now.
Sorry to be a pain in the buttocks...

I was named Christopher in a book once. AND, I actually printed one of our authors name wrong and I hated it that it got to print. It's always good to mention because mistakes to happen. I fixed the title in that post.

Thanks very much, My Mom tells a story that when she worked at a fundraiser that all of you (no matter the country) would know, sent a fundraising letter to a judge and misspelled his name. He teased her for a few years about it too.
When it's a judge, you worry.
