Oh, this is delicious! Been waiting a while to tell you guys about this one.<\/p>\n

Last year, while at ReaderCON, I read a few books, one of which was an anthology called TICK TOCK: \u00a0Seven Tales of Time<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. It was published by Wicked Ink Books. Most of the authors in the anthology I hadn’t heard of (shame on me–I’ve since corrected that) but I read all seven stories in about an hour.<\/p>\n

Very different, but very, very good.<\/p>\n

For 2017, the good people at WIB were putting together another anthology. There would be seven stories from the original authors (Corinne O’Flynn<\/a>, Kristi Helvig<\/a>, Rebecca Taylor<\/a>, Sue Duff<\/a>, Shawn McGuire<\/a>, Wendy Terrien<\/a>, and A.G. Henley<\/a>)\u00a0plus two additional stories picked from a series of submissions.<\/p>\n

The theme for the “new nine” would be stories inspired by song.<\/p>\n

I decided to send in something that I’d been toying with since the 90’s–a story called “Thanksgiving in the Park.”<\/p>\n

Long story, short: My story and one by Calypso Kane<\/a> were accepted.<\/p>\n

So. The cover. May I introduce OFF BEAT: Nine Spins on Song<\/a><\/strong><\/span> available for preorder on Amazon:<\/p>\n

FOM THE BACK COVER:<\/p>\n

Inspired by favorite songs, nine fantasy and science fiction authors spin tales of adventure, intrigue, mystery, and horror.<\/p>\n
