About that book ... 12 Hours Later ...

12 Hours Later, 24 Tales of Myth and Mystery, was developed by members of Treehouse Writing Adventures, a group for authors, supporting authors, which was developed by author T. E  MacArthur.

In this post, I wish to "Give credit where credit is due."  According to dictionary.com, Samuel Adams "probably" coined this expression in a letter, dated October 29, 1777.   Thank you, Mr Adams  ... I think.  

One afternoon, several Treehouse authors were enjoying tea together at the Linda Lane Tearoom in Dixon, California, while discussing the theme of the upcoming Clockwork Alchemy Convention 2015.

The theme would be Myths Legends & Lore.  During  this conversation they
 collectively hit upon an idea for a Steampunk anthology, involving others from within the Treehouse group.  

Soon, those of us in this group were invited to submit material which would be featured along a twenty-four hour timeline.  Each of us chose an hour, which serve as chapters, for our submitted work.

The task of formatting each submission fell to Dover Whitecliff, co-author of The Stolen Songbird, (Vines Trinity Book 1), and BJ Sikes, author of an intriguing and as yet untitled novel about one man's quest to portray true beauty in a French court of automatons.

Several Treehouse authors stepped up to edit this volume: Sharon E Cathcart, (author of several books, including In The Eye Of The Beholder: A novel of the Phantom of the Opera), Dover, AJ Sikes and BJ Sikes.  Ian Berget skillfully produced the cover design as well as the interior illustrations.  They are a handsomely versatile team.

My role was that of contributor, which I failed at in my first attempt.  The poems I originally offered did not reflect the 10:00 pm slot that I had chosen.  Hence, I wrote a few original poems for this volume.

Twelve Hours Later, 24 Tales of Myth and Mystery, born in the Linda Lane Tearoom, and completed by the talented efforts of fifteen authors, an artist, and a poet from the Treehouse Writing Adventures group, is available in paperback and on Kindle at Amazon.com.  You can go directly to that page by clicking here.

So, I invite you to grab yourself a copy of 12 Hours Later, 24 Tales of Myth and Mystery, brew a large pot of delicious tea, and immerse yourself in this entertaining Steampunk anthology.  I am ever so grateful to have been included in this volume.  Enjoy!

Announcing ... Clockwork Alchemy 2015 Come on down!  (I'll be there, too!)

With all that's been happening in my personal sphere lately, I am only now announcing that I will be at my table in "author's row" at the Clockwork Alchemy Convention, 2015, this weekend.  Facepalm!

This will be my third time attending this convention, where I will be signing copies of my books, Echoes and Echoes ll.  My third book is still in process because of a now-five-page poem that will not resolve.

And, as you can see, this blog has suffered of late, too.  How ironic that I wrote a handout on blogging for a panelist at the convention, prescribing that one should be as consistent in posting as is possible.

One wants so badly to raise a clenched fist and yell, "Aaarrrrrrgggg!"

In the meantime, I am composing a "credit where credit is due" post for next week to thank, and to note, all those who conceived of and worked so diligently on the Steampunk anthology, 12 Hours Later.  

I invite you to join me at this year's Clockwork Alchemy Convention.  Come and enjoy the Steampunk ... and do swing by and say "Hi!"  For more information about this convention, please click here.

I am overjoyed to announce that three of my poems have been selected for inclusion in the Steampunk anthology:

12 Hour Later, 24 Tales of Myth and Mystery

This volume is authored by 15 writers, artists, and poets from within a group titled Treehouse Writers, of which I am a member.  Each chapter of this book represents an hour in time, with a different tale occupying each hour.  I wrote three new poems for this book, which can be found in the 10:00 pm time slot therein. They are:

Nightfall

Antisocial
Morpheus


Currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com and at Createspace.com for digital download, I invite you to order a copy of your own.  Once it arrives, simply brew yourself a lovely cup of tea, and settle into a cozy space to best enjoy the Steampunk anthology,

12 Hour Later, 24 Tales of Myth and Mystery
