To Serve and Protect, a short story by Krista Wallace

I now have not one, but TWO audi­oshorts pub­lished. These have both been pre­vi­ously pub­lished in print, in pub­lic­a­tions you can find below. To Serve and Pro­tect is avail­able via Chirp and Apple Books.


The Inner Light

The Inner Light is avail­able in audio format on Chirp and Apple Books.


This was a delight­ful sur­prise. My short story, He Had it Com­ing, was giv­en Hon­or­able Men­tion in the Writers of the Future con­test. He Had it Com­ing fea­tures a char­ac­ter named Evan, who will even­tu­ally get her own nov­el. The story takes place in the same world as the Gate­keep­er series, and the nov­el will fea­ture a minor char­ac­ter who appears briefly in Chapter 6 of Gate­keep­er­’s Key.


To Serve and Pro­tect, appears in this antho­logy from Bun­doran Press.

49th Par­al­lels fea­tures stor­ies of altern­ate Cana­dian his­tor­ies and futures, in hon­our of Canada’s 150th birth­day. It was nom­in­ated for an Aurora: Best Related Work.


Duch­ess Keeps Her Head is my for­ay into Romance. Who knew? It is pub­lished in Heart’s Kiss Magazine. See how many ref­er­ences to Lewis Car­roll you can find in the story!


The Inner Light, is in Issue #6 of Pulp Lit­er­at­ure magazine from Spring 2015. At my first VCon, I met the fab­ulous women who run this ter­rif­ic magazine. My friend Brenda Carre con­vinced me to enter their Raven Cov­er Art con­test, (write a story based on the cov­er art) and, lo and behold, judge CC Humphreys saw fit to give me the win.


The Pageant — A Battle Maid­en’s Cun­ning Stunt is pub­lished in Elec­tric Spec Magazine, Feb. 29th, 2012 Issue.


In 2010, my short story He Had It Com­ing was a final­ist in the SiWC Writ­ing Contest.


In 2011, my short story To Serve and Pro­tect was a final­ist in the SiWC Writ­ing contest.
