The River City Writers Presents Crossroads

by Cynthia I. Maddox, DeWayne Todd, Molly Daniels

When we come to a crossroads, we have to make a decision. Which way do we go? Will it be the right choice? Is it about the road less taken or the choosing to put your hand into a mysterious box of doom? As a writing group, we decided that we wanted to put together an anthology and we wanted to select a common theme, a common thread, and that is how we came to the crossroads. The journey has been long and plagued with unlucky distractions, illnesses, and crazy lives. We pushed and groaned and finally got our creative selves moving. Our own crossroads took us in dizzying directions. Then the time came to put our work together and show you, our reader, how we tackled that thing: the crossroad. You will be entertained by a variety of types of literature. The short stories range from contemporary fiction to science fiction to poetry. We like to think we have a little bit of everything so that when you make your choice of what to read first, when you come to that crossroad, you will be taken on a journey that will fill your imagination with adventure, thrills, and more questions that don’t have answers.

[Greg · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a collection of short stories and poems in several genres in which the authors had their characters facing a crossroad in their lives. This was a clever concept and all of the stories were well written. I was particularly impressed with the sci-fi story, but enjoyed them all.
