One Hundre Voices V3
My previous blogs on the One Hundred Voices anthologies were V1/V2. The anthology by the same name is volume 3 that is at this date available for paperback preorder. For a 10% discount use my author code 100V3-85 from the Centum Press website www.centumpublishing.com
The authors contributed flash fiction in any genre and many, like myself, contributed stories in V1 & V2. If the success of V1 & V2 is an indicator then V3 will be a great success. My contribution to V3 is "Turning Point" it's about a self-centered man when fate pulls him into a life or death situation...

100 Voices V2
In 2016 I wrote a post when Centum Publishing released their anthology of short fiction by 100 authors. With the success of V1 they published 100 Voices V2 at the beginning of this year.
Unlike many anthologies of short stories 100 Voices are not confined to a certain genre. This way the work appeals to a large audience of readers. For example, my story in V1 "Out Of Sight" is a mystery about a man who awoke and discovered he was blind. Confused about his situation his nurse explained he had an accident that put him in a comma and taken his sight. In a short time he discovers the nurse isn't who she claimed to be, his situation is more threatening than he realized, and a most unlikely person comes to his rescue.
"The Widower" published in 100 Voices V2 is a mystery/crime story. Where a man witnessed a murder take place in a neighbors backyard. When the police arrived they could not find the body or evidence of the crime. His friends and the towns folk thought the man to be delusional and possibly drinking too much to hide the sorrow of his wife's death. The man's persistence to reveal the truth soon threatens his own life.
"Turning Point", genre: Christian, is about a man who discovers Jesus in the most unlikely circumstance, moments before he makes a life threatening decision that saves another life.
The 100 Voices anthologies can purchased on Amazon and through www.centumpublishing.com

Universal Link
Draft2Digital, an online book publisher for indie authors, developed a new site for readers: Books2Read.
A feature they have is the Universal Link. Here is how it works: An author joins Draft2Digital or Books2Read and he/she completes the information to make their link. They post the link on their website or social media and the link displays the retail outlets where the author's books are sold.
I'm not sure how useful this tool will be however, I found the idea interesting.
The link below is my universal link. It displays where the eBook version is sold and does not display B&N or CreateSpace where the soft cover is listed.
