Five Collections

October 27, 2021 /

Part of My 70 in 70 Challenge

That’s right, five collections published in one day. I had a lot of fun putting these together. And I did the covers and everything, just as in the collections classes.

I seldom, and I do mean seldom, ever tell anyone here about books I publish, but having five collections in one day is kind of fun. So figured I would mention it.

And yes, I will tell you the exact titles and dates of publication of all 70 books when I hit it. Still going, but these five take me to 66 books of the 70 needed. And a little under a month to go.

You can see the books and even buy them through the links, plus see the covers I did.

    Just ordered the new version of the Kindle Paperwhite, so I’m definitely picking a couple of these up. You had me at “really whacked out.” Lately, as I do my own short story challenge, I’ve been writing some pretty bizarre stuff that defies genre — I’d guess you’d call them dark humor or satire — and I have to say I haven’t had this much fun in years.

    I had a good laugh imagining what kind of story, “My Socks Rolled Down”, might be! What a great writing prompt!
