It's FLIGHTS OF FICTION's Release Day.
Oh yeah, I'm jazzed.
I'm also delighted to be in such fine company. The Western Ohio Writers Association (WOWA) is a wonderful group of talented authors and I'm proud to be part of the group and of this anthology.
Flights of Fiction came into being in rather an unusual way. Instead of a book in search of a publisher, this was a publisher in search of a book. Handcar Press, an independent author imprint of Loconeal Publishing, LLC, wanted to do an anthology of stories based in southwest Ohio. A representative from Loconeal reached out to Gery Deer, the founder of WOWA, and asked if we'd be interested in contributing. Gery grabbed the opportunity and ran with it.
Eleven stories were selected for the anthology. Gery contributed the introduction, in which he points out that his story didn't make the cut.
Here's a blurb on Flights of Fiction:
Pull up a comfy chair and lose yourself in eleven original stories set
in and around the southwest Ohio region. Written by just a few of the
talented authors from the Western Ohio Writers Association, these
soon-to-be classic tales let you follow one man’s tragic story at the
end of the world in “Dead of Winter”; experience a night at the National
Museum of the United States Air Force in “Nose Art”; and get lost in a
haunting image from the past in “Tabitha’s Portrait,” plus many more.
From detective tales to a trek into the mysterious world of wrestling,
Flights of Fiction has something for everyone.
Sound good?
