Scribes Divided
Ideas come from all over the place, and so do opportunities. I have let a few slip - the Needle in the Hay crew put a few books together before I was involved with "
Wolves".
Tobias went on to edit and release a fantastic anthology called "
Underdog" which I didn't feel I had anything to contribute to at the time... and have been kicking myself about ever since.
Likewise,
Scribes Divided released a book before this one ("
Dread Naught but Time"), called "
Writing to Stem Your Existential Dread". When the call went out for stories, I had an idea which I started. I'd been reading a book of short stories by Chuck Palahniuk (author of "
Fight Club") and one of the fellow authors suggested my story reminded him of Chuck's writing... which of course, I took as a compliment.
My story in this anthology "
What Are Ya, The Morality Police?" involves a bitter man with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Envisioning himself as a kind of "white knight", he finds men who are having affairs. He sees the chairty muggers accosting business-people in the city and adopts a similar approach to confront these men, with better results.
