Welcome to this quarter's issue of Indie Bites! It's packed full of eight exclusive short stories from indie authors on the themes of Pirates & Prophecies, plus an interview with indie author Trudie Skies.

This issue features the following short fiction:
- The Kraken King by Ceril N. Domace
- The Coop by Danielle Bongiovanni
- The Wreck of Our Lady by Oliver Thomas
- Heliophilia by Jake Vanguard
- Jack of Clubs by Monti Sturzaker
- The Potioner, the Pine Marten, and the Pirate King by Adie Hart
- Fifteen Men by Katharine Kapodistria
- Dolce Evita by Josie Jaffrey
In this issue, you’ll find foretold heroes and swashbuckling villains, cursed diadems and giant jellyfish, sibling bonds and budding love stories, and of course, a whole lot of treasure.
Both pirates and prophecies naturally tend to come with a certain amount of violence and gore, so do be aware there are some more gory tales in the mix, but you’ll also find moments of cosiness and warmth.
On top of all that, we also have an interview with fantastic indie author Trudie Skies.
So let’s get piratical. There’s plenty here to sink your teeth into.

About our featured author

Trudie Skies has been living inside fantasy worlds ever since they discovered books, and they refuse to return to reality. Within Trudie’s daydreams you’ll find stories described as obnoxiously British and best read with a cup of tea. When not conjuring new worlds, Trudie spends their free time exploring the realms of indie books and video games, staring at clouds, and chasing after their fluffy companions.
