Auntie Heroes is a 252 page anthology published in April 2026 by Raconteur Press.

This is a fun collection of short stories featuring little old ladies as the heroes. After all, who suspects them, or bothers to give them much thought at all? Their perceived status in society allows them to get away with quite a lot, sometimes saving the day–whether that means through espionage, monster hunting, or stopping unwanted guests from crashing a wedding.

Several, but not all of the stories, feature sci-fi/fantasy elements. I found it to be a well-written bunch. Some of my favorites were Salon and Subversion by Tuvela Thomas, Walking the Beans by Rick Cutler, Calhoun Blood by D. S. Ligon, and The Squamous Among Us by Spearman Burke.

And once again, the artwork and illustrations by Cedar Sanderson added another level of delight to this anthology.
