A Fun Challenge

Last fall, Alexander Semenyuk, challenged us to write a short story in either the horror, sci-fi or thriller genre. As a horror writer, I took up on this straight away and wrote a story about abuse but with paranormal features. It was a ton of fun to write and alas, it was included Beyond Stories: An Anthology of Sci-fi and Horror.

Within weeks, I could add “#1 Best-selling Amazon writer” in my bio. I’ve also got to connect with amazing writers who are dear and powerful friends like Brie-Anna Willey

Then, a super cool thing happened, Alexander reached out to me again and wanted me to contribute not one, but TWO stories this time for Beyond Stories 2!

It's now available on Amazon on both paperback and Kindle!

Even if it’s an unpaid submission, the platform boost, confidence infusion, bestselling author bragging rights and an Amazon author’s page? Priceless.
