The second collection of short fiction by multiple award-winning author Dorothy Simmons, Heritage & Other Stories was published posthumously. The importance of words and the worlds they create was something Simmons believed in absolutely, as was the transformative power of stories. This short story collection, which she worked on even as the cancer that would claim her life made it difficult to do so, is an enduring tribute to her lifelong love of words and language.

The following stories have appeared elsewhere: 'Postscript' was published in Blue Nib, 2019; 'This Itch' was published in Blue Nib, 2020; and 'Heritage' was published in Hecate, QP 2022.
