Have I Got a Story for You...

Did Orion find love in the Everglades? Will a young lemur become the world’s greatest guilt monkey? What actually happened between Gretel and Hansel? What terrible secret is hiding at Graceline Industries? Can an android feel love? Who is the mysterious figure stalking a family through the Amazon? And what is going on with all these cuticles and why are they in space stations?

Some–but not all–of these questions are answered within, as forty-eight new and intriguing writers of all ages explore the concept of the Unreliable Narrator. Proceed with caution and believe at your own risk.

You won’t believe what happens next.

This book is amazing!!

I'm slightly biased though, I'll admit it, considering I have a short story ("Moving Up") in this.

But believe me (or not) (haha) (no, really, believe me) when I say that this anthology has a well-rounded, ultra diverse mix of stories that is sure to appeal to all types of readers. From paranormal to science fiction to everything in between. Definitely something to check out, and a great gift idea for the reader in your family!

A fabulous collection of short stories by NaNoWriMo writers, chock-full of NaNo icons, from the LA lemur, to guilt monkeys, caged inner editors, viking helmets & more. A must-read for any Wrimo.
