The red or the blue?

Loaded question, isn't it? I could be talking about the Matrix or the upcoming elections or a sports team or just which shirt I want to wear. And each choice we make can set into motion a different chain of events, whether catastrophic, terrific, or just a regular day... Which brings me to an exciting new anthology put together by Randi Lee who is now Stay Classy Publishing. And I'm honored to be a part of it!

TURNING POINTS
The Thing That Turned Me

Here is our riveting (updated) cover...



There are so many awesome authors contributing! Check out the trailer:


I had so much fun writing my piece, I made a little image for it...
My story is a lite apocalyptic romance...because I like to put all seriousness aside.
It will be out this summer. I can't wait to read all the stories!

And even though it's January, the A to Z blogging challenge is right around the corner! I better start thinking of a theme  (you don't have to have one, but I find it easier to come up with posts). I also need to decide if I will have time to even do it this year...

Be cool when the anthology comes out!
My Challenge theme is starting to come together. Which is good, as I really need to start planning my posts.

Ooh, love that cover. Turning Points seems like it'll be a fantastic anthology. How exciting that one of your stories will be featured in it!

M.J. Fifield said...

Congrats on the anthology! That's awesome!!

I've only ever written the very occasional short story. Most of the time, if I set out to write one, it balloons into a novel.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

There will be some really interesting and moving stories in the anthology.

Sarah Foster said...

Congrats on the anthology!
I'm not sure if I'll do the challenge this year. I need to come up with a theme soon if I want to get my posts done ahead of time.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I'll be signing up for A to Z on that first day. Congrats on the anthology.

Congrats on the anthology!

Rena said...

Congrats on the anthology! Also, red vs blue is a video game thing. It's a whole TV series made from halo multiplayer, and it's pretty funny. So yeah, definitely a loaded question.

Not only do I have my theme prepared for both of my blogs already, but I have all my posts for my main blog already written and edited numerous times over. I also have themes and lists prepared for the next several years. I have to get to work on finalizing the list of subjects for my names blog and writing those posts.

Chrys Fey said...

Sounds like an awesome anthology. I just love the title for your story! Congrats!

Sheena-kay Graham said...

The trailer was nice. Congrats on the anthology. I could not believe how many writers/bloggers I knew.

Roland D. Yeomans said...

Congrats on the anthology. I think I may be in it since I am in the trailer but not listed in the bio's of the authors (I sent mine but perhaps it got lost in cyber-space?)

But either way, in or out, I am looking forward to its release.

Like Sarah, I am not sure I will be doing the challenge this year: there are some 3rd World nations that don't have as many people in it as the A to Z!

Have a great new week!

Great news about your story. And thanks for the timetable about AtoZ!

Congrats on being in the anthology. =D

Christine Rains said...

Love that cover! It's so exciting being in a collection with you super writers. :) I realize I'm not going to have time for A to Z this year. I'll be reading along with everyone, though!

Congratulations for being included in the anthology. The trailer looks fantastic.

Heather M. Gardner said...

It's going to be AWESOME! I love our group!

I guess I'll have to start thinking of a new theme! You know I like to wait until the last minute.

:)

Congratulations on the anthology. I almost tried writing a short story for the IWSG contest last year but I ran out of time, so I guess I've never written a short story yet.

Your story sounds really adorable! Love the image too!

The meme bloghop sounds like a blast! I'll have to consult my calendar again and see if I can squeeze that one in.
