End of the Road Anthology
Amidst the turbulence
of my life, I see I have forgotten to mention that I have had two stories
accepted in an anthology of stories based around the theme: End of the Road.
There are some truly talented (and successful!) writers included in this
anthology and I feel privileged to have my name in the same book next to
theirs. While I would prefer to tell you about the other stories in the book,
there are too many for me to mention each of them. Therefore I will tell you
briefly about my contributions to the End of the Road Anthology.
As is my normal
method of writing, I was initially stumped on what kind of story I wanted to
contribute to such a themed anthology. This then led to my mind (virtually)
exploding with different ideas of what the end of the road might mean. Since I
tend to gravitate towards the extreme, I naturally took the theme to mean
death. But since I also tend to reject the obvious, I wanted to portray death
in a way that might not really mean the end. So I split the difference and
wrote two shorter stories instead of one long one. In what probably amounts to
commercial suicide, I wrote one story with strong religious coloring (Waiting
In Line), and the other spattered in blood red (The Last Hours Of Brandon
Kratz). I guess I’m not real good at the whole branding thing. Actually, I like
to think my writing can take many different aspects of life and roll them
together into something larger. Hopefully that is what I can achieve in my
novels.
The best part of
this anthology is that it is absolutely free to anyone with an e-reader device.
There is also a paperback available, which has been priced at the absolute
lowest possible price. If you want to pick up a free or greatly reduced price
sampler please check us out at Amazon or any other book distributer: http://www.amazon.com/End-Road-Jacques-Antoine-ebook/dp/B00E6IUKAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382321989&sr=8-1&keywords=end+of+the+road+anthology
Again, thanks to
those others who were involved in this anthology and were gracious enough to
include me as one of them.
