The Lies We Tell Others: A Pocono Liars Club Anthology
Lies
We all tell them—sometimes to keep the peace, other times to stir the pot, occasionally to save face, or just for fun.
In this anthology, the Pocono Liars Club presents a playful mix of stories where truth takes a back seat and deception takes center stage. From harmless fibs to outrageous whoppers, these tales demonstrate that sometimes lying is an art… and sometimes it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Go on—open the book. We promise you’ll love it.
(Would we lie to you?)

The theme of this anthology is lying and there are brilliant stories weaved about lies within these pages from all different genres, including fantasy, humor, and some poems. The best part about purchasing and reading this book is that it benefits the Pocono Liars Club that provides free classes to aspiring writers who dream about becoming an author one day as well as authors who thirst to learn more about the business. I'm proud to be part of this anthology and group of authors!

A Great Anthology
A wonderful anthology with a collection of short stories and a couple poems themed on lies. All proceeds go to support the Pocono Liars Club and their mission to resource and support local authors. I am thrilled to be one of the contributors.
