RELEASE: Broken Worlds
Earlier this year I was incredibly humbled to place first in the annual Almond Press Short Story Competition.��From my entry and��a number of shortlisted entries by some genuinely talented��writers, Almond Press has successfully compiled��its third anthology –��BROKEN WORLDS.
The anthology theme is self-explanatory, but when compared with the press’ previous two anthologies it really sings – first we had THE FALL, then AFTER THE FALL. Now we can read about what comes next. Dystopias. Discrimination, repression, suppression, strange worlds and familiar ones, fear��and perhaps a little hope. As with most anthologies, the flavours, voices and��styles of writing are broad and should appeal to a wide variety of readers.
Almond Press works tirelessly to produce its annual anthologies and it would mean a great deal to me if we could help to make this one their biggest success yet. They are a small, independent press based in Scotland and I’m sure they will be appreciative of any support we can give them.��The ebook is released today, with a paperback (their first!) to follow next month.��So please do pick up a copy and tread with careful feet over the broken remnants of our world, and those like it…
