My fifth short story, Three Letters is published in the 2021 Writing Journey Anthology TRIPLE VISION – Stories and Poems from the WRITING JOURNEY
In “Three Letters” I am writing a story that was inspired by a real event – the only unsolved case in aviation history when Dan Cooper got away with hijacking a plane in the 70s – and here I put my own spin on what happened.
Who was this person, who called himself Dan Cooper, who dared to hijack a plane, ask for a $200,000 ransom, and who then jumped out of the plane midflight? Where did he hide all this time? And, what did he do with the ransom?
Find out who Dan Copper “really” was and where he hid the ransom they never found.
TRIPLE VISION is an anthology that revolves around the number three.
From the back cover of TRIPLE VISION:
In Triple Vision, the writers of The Writing Journey open these three lenses wide with a riveting collection of short stories and poems that entice the reader to interact close-up with an engaging cast of characters in a wide array of fanciful tales and moving verse.
TRIPLE VISION
My thanks goes especially to our hard-working editors (Tim Yao, J.M. Guilfoyle, Tauna Sonn-LeMarbe, Mary O’Brien Glatz, Carrie Reitz, and Todd Hogan) and all the other authors who worked equally hard to make this new book happen.
So, if you like to read short stories, you can buy the book on Amazon.
Amazon blurb:
We often view life, just as we read and write fiction, through one of three lenses — Reality, Speculation, Fantasy.
In Triple Vision, the writers of The Writing Journey open these three lenses wide with a riveting collection of short stories and poems that entice the reader to interact close-up with an engaging cast of characters in a wide array of fanciful tales and moving verse.
The lens of Realism transforms scenes from real life to ride the pulsating beats that drive our world today. These stories and poems create meaning from what is, with its conflicts, strivings, losses, loves, highs and lows.
The lens of Speculation extrapolates from the realm of the future or what could be to create Science Fiction and Horror stories. The action scenes escalate beat by beat to bring the reader to new heights of anticipation.
The lens of Fantasy goes beyond what is or what might be to explore our most profound connections to the unknown. The dreamlike depictions in this group of stories and poems carry us to our deepest wellsprings of meaning.
Activate your curiosity and satisfy your imagination as you enjoy these sometimes startling stories and poems of Triple Vision offered here by The Writing Journey of Naperville and beyond.
Trigger warning: there is one story in this collection about child sexual abuse.
