The Wordsmith Chronicles

by Kerri Jesmer (Editor), Susanne Thomas (Contributor), M.W. Brown (Contributor)

Given the task of writing a short story where the main character is a writer, these authors let their imaginations soar. This collection explores plagiarism, the criminal underworld and wormholes. You’ll ride the rails with Cal and Petey and meet Curt’s platoon, visit Bitter Mountain, and a strange town at a sister’s funeral. Follow a psychic murder investigator, and find out the rewards of saying ‘nothing.’ Also in this collection, an immortal writes by the light of the moon, there is poignant young love, and a pretty girl who seems to have it all time and again. There are also stories about mysteriously written words, tiny people, a stroll across a bridge of memories, an authentic ghostwriter, a laptop named Skullcandy, wizards that sing, and a writer’s search for the soul, and more.
