My second short story, Lost on the South lawn is published in the brand new Writing Journey Anthology 2018.
My writers’ group The Writing Journey (Based in Naperville, IL) created a new anthology focused on the theme of hope for the future. Sixteen authors contributed their science fiction stories and poems to the book.
My short story “Lost on the South Lawn” tells you what happens when three very different young people, are thrown together in a time travel mission that ends up in the wrong time period.
Was it just an accident that they crashed at that spot of all places or was there more to it?
In the end the question is, will the people in charge be willing to work together, take the time traveler’s advice and work together to avoid a catastrophe?
Like last time, if was a educational experience for me. Writing my own story, reading other authors’ stories and poem, critiquing them and being critiqued helped me to learn a lot and improve my writing.
I am thankful for our editors (Tim, Sara and Mary) and all the other authors who worked so hard to make this new book happen.
Especially Tim Yao who compiled the book and worked endlessly to bring the book to existence. Thank you, Tim!
So, if you like to read about the Reasons for Hope in these days you can buy the book on Amazon or check it out on Good Reads.
