This week finds me in a period of
transition. Cooking Athanasia is
presently on ice, waiting for editing. Despite trying to distance myself from
the story for more objective editing, I still find myself ‘what if-ing’ various
scenes in the book and Jonesing for some Jenna interaction. In effort to shift
gears, I have started the second book in the Athanasia Trilogy, Echoes of Enchantment.
The really big news for this week
however, is the upcoming release of Reflections
of the End, which is an anthology of short stories and poems contributed by
writers in the Author’s Choice – Select Anthologies groups of Facebook and
Google+. The anthology is themed ‘Apocalypse’ and should be available in a few
short weeks.
Although the contributing to the book,
and its imminent release is exciting, the truly enriching experience for me is belonging
to these communities. The icing on the magic whichever flavor you wish for cake
is interacting with a multinational group of people on a daily basis who share
my same passion for writing. Aside from collaborating on the anthology, members
of the group share their successes and challenges on other projects with each
other as well as just having fun with writing. I hope all the members of these
communities who read this know how much they mean to me and how much they have
helped with some of my challenges, which makes me happy to celebrate my successes
with them.
Now for the shameless plug: We are putting
on a book launch event for Reflections of
the End this coming Saturday, which
is open to the public. Links for the two events are pasted below so please take
a look and feel free to attend. I have also posted a link to both of the groups
if you just want to poke around. Just FYI: The groups’ consensus for the theme of
the next anthology was 'Secrets', and you have at least two months to prepare you
short story and poem submissions.
