False Faces: Twenty Stories About the Masks We Wear
Masks. Everybody wears them. Perhaps they are tangible, worn for a job or as part of a costume. More likely, they are metaphorical, shaped by the stories we tell each other and the lies we tell ourselves. This collection of twenty tales by members of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers explores what happens when we conceal ourselves behind carefully constructed identities. Why do we hide? What are we afraid to confront? And what happens when at last the masks come off?

Note: I am one of the authors.
A Colorado Book Award finalist for Best Anthology, edited by a CBA winner. All the authors are members of Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, the region's largest organization for genre writers.
The stories were selected blind by the editors, based on merit. There's a story for every taste, all at least obliquely tailored to the title theme.
