The galaxy’s most chaotic crew is back for another orbit of interstellar misadventure!
This second installment of galactic adventure is available now in both ebook and paperback formats.
Paperback on Amazon Ebook from Beth’s Store
After the galactic goofs and other disasters of the first Starship Blunder anthology—including the beloved starship blowing up in spectacular fashion—the Conglomeracy has commissioned a new vessel for the wayward crew. Unfortunately, the fresh Starship Wonder turns out to be anything but wonderful. So buckle up for another round of navigational mishaps, bumbled missions, and crash landings!
Although Starship Blunder 2: Starship Wonder picks up where the first anthology left off, readers don’t need to be familiar with the Blunder’s past escapades. Each story in this new collection can be enjoyed as a standalone misadventure.
The Lineup of Misadventures
Several returning Blunder authors are back with new tales, including Jason Abofsky, Edward Cooke, Mac King, Chris Morton, Edward Swing, and (of course) me! We’re also joined by a fantastic group of new contributors: Jennifer Abrahamsen, JJ Alleson, Craig Borri, Gary Cohn, Brian Haddad, Alexandra Henning, L.H. Phillips, Gordon Sun, Annie Tupek, and Lori Wilkey.
Altogether, Starship Blunder 2: Starship Wonder features eighteen hilarious new stories guaranteed to delight readers.
Here are just a few highlights to look forward to:
A new sport called Floatball takes the Conglomeracy by storm.
(Edward Swing — “A Fervor over Floatball” and Mac King — “Bad Bet”)
Chef Bluebottle steals a goat.
(Chris Morton — “Blunder in
Time”)
Miss Luna Knight’s class pets, the Blinkies, go toe-to-toe with
interdimensional monsters.
(L.H. Phillips — “Running the Gauntlet”)
Behind the Scenes
Assembling a multi-author anthology always comes with challenges, and I was incredibly fortunate that the first Blunder came together so smoothly. Having that experience under my belt made this second voyage so much smoother.
When I put out the call for submissions, I was thrilled by how many talented writers wanted to join the crew. Choosing which stories to include proved difficult—especially under a tight deadline—but I’m thrilled with the lineup that made it aboard.
Some parts of the process worked so well the first time that I repeated them: creating a dedicated website for the Blunder universe, running the stories through two rounds of edits, and offering the ebook directly through my store. Other elements, while fun, were just too big to repeat—like the huge virtual launch party and the autographed bookplates. This time around, I added a few new tools to make things even smoother, including a detailed map of the Starship Wonder for authors to reference and “recruitment cards” I handed out to writers interested in joining the mission.
