“Escape Your World”, the Scribes Valley Publishing anthology that includes my short story “Prometheus”, was released for purchase on Amazon.com today.
“Prometheus” won 2nd place in the publishing company’s 2014 Short Story Writing Contest. The short story explores how two men can be so similar yet fight on opposite sides of a goal. What determines the fine line between passion and obsession and what happens if that line is blurred?
Amazon’s description of the anthology (bold added by me):
“We all have a world encompassing everything in our lives. Family, work, hobbies, bills, worries, stresses, and much more make up our individual worlds. Sure, we have to live our lives, but sometimes we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by our world. We give into the pressures of daily living and feel as if our world is “crashing down around our ears.” How many times have you said that? How many times have you felt as if your world is all there is, and there is no way out, no way to see what else is out there? Relax, there is an escape! And it comes in the form of a book. A book? A book is a simple thing, right? A front and back cover with pages of paper in between. You can swat insects with them, level a table with them, fill bookcases with them—or you can realize that a book is a transporter; a transporter for your mind, your consciousness, and your imagination. Between those simple covers, you can find unlimited worlds to explore, endless places to visit, and countless topics to ponder. This ESCAPE YOUR WORLD anthology is one such transporter. Inside, Kathy Bjornestad, Joseph Horst, Jeff Spitzer, Chelle Wotowiec, Joyce Munro, Simone Hanson, Dana C. Smith, Paul Andrews, Ronna L. Edelstein, John Bauer, Brenda Watterson, Marlene Olin, and Herb Wakeford are ready to aid your escape. Sit back and allow them to carry you away. Allow them to capture your imagination. Allow them to help you escape your world!”
