Welcome
to a little idea I’ve had for a while now. I’ve always had this love of
books and stories so why not feed that love? Why not gather together a
group of new writers – writers I enjoy reading, as well as unfamiliar
writers – and publish an anthology of stories from fresh voices in the
field? Well, I think I will.
First up, an anthology of tales with a title which hints at a dark theme: FREAKS & WEEPING CHILDREN.
I’m not hampering anyone’s creativity by insisting on one genre over
another. Writers are free to explore the ideas as wildly as they wish.
I’ll
be editing and designing the anthology myself. The costs of cover art
and Ingram fees will be coming out of an account I set aside
specifically for Freaks & Weeping Children.
