Through "The Fire" and "Purgatory" we suffer "Love & Loss" and a "Flood of Tears" until we get to those "Healing Scars" and are able to "Fly" again. These are just a handful of the short stories published in this outstanding anthology from Accentuate Writers. Accentuate Writers Anthologies are compiled stories from the winners of the quarterly Accentuate Writers Short Story Anthology Contests. Each author placed, against fierce competition--First, Second, Third, Editor's Choice--to win a coveted position as an author in this, the very first Accentuate Writers Anthology. When you purchase an Accentuate Anthology, you know each story has gone through intense judging and editing scrutiny to be included within the pages of this perfect bound paperback anthology. Each of the ten talented authors and six exceptional poets come together to share their most engaging short stories, selected by a panel of judges, and meticulously edited and prepared by editor Michelle L Devon. The ten contest winners and authors for short stories include: Steven Thor Gunnin, Jennifer Walker, Rissa Watkins, Lindsay Maddox, George Kramer, Lucinda Gunnin, Jo Brielyn, M. Lori Motley, Susan Sosbe, Laurie Darroch-Meekis. The poetry contest winners fought fierce competition to be featured between each short story to add to the literary value of the anthology. These poets include our featured poet, Laurie Darroch-Meekis, as well as Randy Barefoot, Michelle L Devon, Jo Brielyn, Susan Sosbe, Angel Sharum and Felicity Tilack.
