Anthologies

 Short story anthologies are a great way for an indie author to get additional titles on his or her author page with a minimum of effort.

I’ve participated in three anthologies, with a fourth in the works, which gives me three additional titles to promote and gives readers more books to check out when they visit my author page.

Anthologies are also a great way for readers to sample your work. And if they like what they read in the anthology, they may very well move on to read the rest of your oeuvre.

I have two short stories and an article published in three outstanding anthologies.

Once Upon A WolfPack: A #WolfPackAuthors Anthology. A collection of 15 stories and 2 poems, all with a wolf somewhere in the tale. And the stories range from science fiction to fantasy to horror to mysteries to fairy tales. Literally something for everybody. And all proceeds go to a very good cause: Lockwood Animal Rescue Center.

If you want to find out about Minneapolis’s ace private detective, Justinia Wright, take a read of my story “Mrs Solberg’s Problem”.

Once Upon A WolfPack is only $2.99 at Amazon.

Overmorrow: Stories of Our Bright Future is a collection of a dozen optimistic science fiction stories. Stories exploring a fundamentally positive vision of the world and human achievement.

I’m honored to have my story, “The Sun is but a Morning Star”, lead off the collection. I don’t write much science fiction, and was pleased to have the editors, Jon Garett and  Richard Walsh, accept my tale of an Earth colony planting mission finding a better world.

Overmorrow: Stories of Our Bright Future is available at Amazon.

The Phantom Games: Dimensions Unknown 2020, edited by John Paul Catton is a collection of 16 science fiction and fantasy stories and 17 accounts of life in a pandemic. I contributed an article, “Be Happy”, for this collection. My musings on COVID-19.

Originally intended to celebrate the Tokyo Olympics, life threw the editor a knuckle ball. But he adapted and made a super anthology even better.

Get The Phantom Games at Amazon.

I encourage you to take a look at these anthologies. You’ll find great stories to entertain you and give you food for thought.

Comments are always welcome! And until next time, happy reading!
