On October 25th, 2016, my short story, "First Wife"--a YA retelling of the biblical story of Leah, Jacob, and Rachel, was published in Month9Books' IN THE BEGINNING charity anthology.
Publisher's description:
Eight authors come together to build a powerful collection of dark young adult short stories inspired by the mysteries, faith, and darkness found within the Bible. Old Testament and New Testament, iconic and obscure figures alike are illuminated, explored, and re-envisioned throughout this charity anthology from Month9Books. IN THE BEGINNING, ed. Laureen P. Cantwell and Georgia McBride.
Sounds awesome, right? The authors have made some amazing contributions to the anthology, and it's one you won't want to miss! Check out the GoodReads page and add the anthology to your TBR list.
Their sun is going nova. To keep the peace, the law decreed long ago that human interaction is forbidden. Now, a group of teens forge a connection to bring down the system that keeps them from each other.
My dystopian short story, Defying the Darkness, is a free read available from LuLu.com.
TAKEN
Two strangers, seemingly from another place and time, have shown up. They've killed Janice's sister… and they're after her, too.
I have a short story based on the world of The MirrorMasters, "Taken." It includes a brief scene not shown in the novel. Read it on GoodReads!
NEVER FORGOTTEN
Jessa can't get over the death of her best friend. Now her parents want to take her to the Memory Eater store to have his memory removed before her grief kills her. But Jessa doesn't want to forget him...
My short story, "Never Forgotten," was an entry for the Memory Eater Anthology. It is not included in the anthology, but it's now part of my writings on GoodReads. The premise for the anthology is an amazing one, so I hope you'll check it out!
A ghost. Regret. Revenge.
This short story was originally published on author Samantha Mabry's now inactive website, Flash Paranormal Fiction. As part of the Oxford Valley Writer's Exchange event, Enchanting Stories, I read "Unfinished" at the local Barnes and Noble Oxford Valley. Hope you enjoy the cover, and don't forget to check out the story on GoodReads.
