Golden Prose & Poetry: A Collection of Short Stories,
Essays and Verse from Writers in Northern California
Dear Radical Readers,
I’m taking a brief break from the last pair of Planetary
Fishing posts and a lot of hard work wrapping up Keywords to Unlock Chiron for this announcement. My short story, “Cruel
Embroidery,” is part of a new literary collection I believe you’ll truly enjoy.
Twenty
writers have teamed up to create a Northern California anthology of fine
writing that puts readers through a rush of emotion from laughter to tears and
from joy to regrets. I’m proud to be part of this quality volume!
The authors
deliver a rush of emotion in a new book, Golden Prose & Poetry.
Golden Prose & Poetry is published by Pretty Road Press in association with Northern California
Publishers & Authors. Folsom-based publisher, Ted Witt, describes the book as delivering “bold,
imaginative short stories alongside true tales, travelogues and sentimental
verse from writers in the Golden State.” The 165-page book
highlights the work of several award-winning writers alongside new talent
showcasing their work for the first time. The
content is diverse, but unified in delivering a rush of emotion.
My story, “Cruel Embroidery,” exposes a community without compassion and is a study of what happens when
light and dark meet. Imagine the most innocent young Virgo meeting a reclusive old
Scorpio whose life has been derailed by a seriously damaged self-image. “Cruel
Embroidery” contains court scenes tantamount to a modern-day Salem witch trial. It has a surprise ending
that startled the author herself.
My story is just one of the fascinating ensemble. The anthology is now available on Amazon. Click
the link or graphic to take a peek inside. It's a great summer read, perfect for the busy person who can read an entire story, essay or poem in a few spare minutes.
Golden
Prose & Poetry is $11.97 and will be available in print and in e-book
format. Print copies will also be
available at the Purple Place book release celebration in El Dorado Hills, which
will feature author signings, prizes and happy hour prices on food and
beverages on Tuesday, May 28. If you're local to the Sacramento Area, please join us from 6-8:30 PM for golden fun at the Purple Place the evening after Memorial Day. Details on Facebook.
All
contributing writers to Golden Prose and Poetry are members of Northern
California Publishers & Authors, an independent alliance of authors and
publishing professionals whose website is www.NorCalPA.org.
It’s
a literary gold rush!
