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...

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  11. 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!

  17. 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.
