I’ve taken some time away from my latest draft of Father’s Creed to work on something new with my local writing group. We’ve been helping each other grow as writers for years now and having them with me on this journey has been joyful and incredibly beneficial.
Writing is often a lonely profession and pastime, and many writers prefer it that way, but finding a group of fellow wordsmiths is something I whole-heartedly recommend. Not only have these people become my friends, but they have challenged me to embrace new styles and see my own work through new eyes.
I’m a fan of all of them, and so it is with great delight that I tell you we are publishing a collection of short stories entitled ‘Seven Deadly Pens.’ This multi-genre anthology features tales of mystery, sci-fi adventure, fantastic encounters, and of course, a little murder. (See below for more individual story detail.)
Andy and the Time Slip by App – Steve Moretti (Find Steve’s previous work on https://www.stevemoretti.ca and Amazon.)
Andy had a very good life until temptation got the best of him one day. But if he can rewind time, is he free to break the rules again?

If the extremes of life form our ethics, imagine the double-edged sword of having a perfect memory
