Short Story Anthology to Benefit Cancer Research!!

Hi everyone!! As I hinted to a few weeks back, I've got some details about the super-secret project I've been working on!!

First and foremost: the name.

FURTHERMORE

Why? You may ask. Well this name has a cool double meaning. The first, each author involved in this anthology provides a further look into their series. Perhaps it's a short story told from a different POV. Maybe it's an extra scene. Whatever the case, you're given a new glimpse into their world. And second, 100% of proceeds will go to further more cancer research. It's as simple as that. After our release on December 11th, all proceeds from paperback, kindle, nook, and any other digital formats will be donated to the American Cancer Society. I'm so thankful I have a chance to be a part of such a great cause, through something as enjoyable as sharing a bit more of my writing with you. So with further ado, we'd love for you to get involved. The form below provides additional details on how you can help us kick cancer's ass.

The Life Lottery - A Story from Year Zero

(As part of The Dwellers Saga)

Before the creation of the Tri-Realms, and before there were moon dwellers, the inhabitants of the earth lived in relative safety. But then a massive meteor locked on a collision course with our planet. U.S. scientists had predicted it for years, using a substantial government-funded budget to carry out their contingency plan—a series of extraordinary caves and tunnels deep below the surface of the earth. Despite their efforts, however, when the harbinger of Armageddon arrived, there wasn’t enough room for every U.S. citizen. Not nearly enough, in fact. A mere one percent of the population would be able to enter the hidden sanctuaries and start a new life. Who would be chosen? Who would be left to die above? No one could predict the outcome of The Lottery.

Fate (As part of Annabelle's Story)

Annabelle Walsh thought she had it all. She was living every girl’s dream – until her life was turned upside down. All starting with finding out that she's not just a human, but also a water spirit. Half-human, half-sprite to be exact. Although not just any sprite, Annabelle is prophesied to be the only one who can save both the sprites and mankind.

Annabelle’s Story is a two-part tale that chronicles Annabelle’s mission to fulfill her fate. Through Annabelle’s first person prose, we’re given an inside look into her fears, her hesitation, her disbelief, her courage, her hopes, and ultimately her dreams.

But what about the other characters that bring Annabelle’s Story to life? Each character whose destiny becomes a reality upon setting eyes on Annabelle? Fate retells this beloved story through the thoughts of Adrian, Aurelia, Blake, and Katherine. These are their parting words.
