The Anthology is Here!
After months of work by all involved, I am thrilled to announce the publication of This Human Condition: A Collection of Flash and Micro Fiction. If you’d like to get your hands on a copy, you can view it online ordownload in several formats. It is also available via Smashwords. I hope you’ll all take a moment to read it, and to visit the websites of the contributing authors.
This Human Condition Sneak Peek
As we’re nearing the end of the creation process, I’m getting more and more excited. I’m ready to share the anthology with the world, but there are still things to be tweaked and perfected. In the meantime, though, I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the cover art. The image was taken by one of the contributing writers, TS Harrington, who happens to also be a talented fashion photographer and a firefighter- as well as a pretty great sister (but of course, I’m biased, since she’s mine!)
You can check out more of her photography over at Vero Beach Photography. And now, without further ado, the cover:
On a more personal note, my sister and I will be attending the True Blood Ultimate Fan Experience in Royal Palm Beach tonight. I freely admit that I’m completely addicted to the show, as is she- so tonight is shaping up to be a pretty exciting outing for us. I’m sure you’ll hear about it soon!
Expanding My Horizons
The anthology is being proofed and is almost ready to send out to the authors for their final approval. I’m very excited about it! In other news, I’ve started selling a few of my images over on Redbubble.com. Here is a sampling…
This Human Condition: A Collection of Flash and Micro Fiction
Happy New Year! I’m very excited to be kicking off 2010 with a wonderful announcement:
We are now accepting submissions to This Human Condition: A Collection of Flash and Micro Fiction!
This unique anthology will feature a collection of stories ranging from 250-1000 words. The book will be divided into two sections, each with corresponding emotional themes.
Section One
Love
Joy
Pride
Inspiration
AweSection Two
Sorrow
Fear
Grief
Guilt
Disappointment
Petal Pusher Press, the publisher of Saponifier Magazine and my current employer, is sponsoring the anthology. This means that it will be edited, proofed and then generated by a talented layout designer that who will make this e-Book pop!
As originally planned, the completed eBook will be distributed at no cost to readers through the participating author websites, as well as via download on Amazon.com. Authors who contribute to this project will have to grant Petal Pusher Press limited use of their work, but will retain copyright.
