One night I watched an episode of the Original Series Star Trek and the Enterprise arrived at a planet that was nearly identical to Earth. Of course, the production’s very limited budget and the period’s limited special effects capability forced the creators to use such gimmicks to meet the demand of a weekly television series, but it sparked a thought What might cause an identical Earth to be discovered?

This moment of inspiration led to my short story A Canvas Dark and Deeppublished in NewMyths.com issue 41 and now re-printed in their collection Twilight Worlds: The Best of New Myths Volume 2.

Available December 15th, today, from Amazon and Barnes and Noble in both eBook and physical editions, Twilight Worlds represents some of the best and most imaginative stories published by NewMyths.com and I am deeply honored to have A Canvas Dark and Deep included in this anthology.
