Hello my friends. No news on Tantalus Depths today, but I have another big announcement I’m thrilled to share with you. Family, the fourth anthology collection from Writing Bloc, is out today! Technically it came out yesterday, but I never do anything on time.
In Family, twenty-one authors present stories exploring the idea of “family,” and all that represents. Some are heartwarming tales of compassion and togetherness, some explore the darkness of families where love is absent or twisted. Some are as familiar to you as the family dinner table, some show alien, fantastical worlds where familiar themes take new meaning in unfamiliar environments.
Every story in Family has something interesting to say, and is a worthy read. Among them, you will find Empire of Salt, the newest addition to my Calling Void series.
In Empire of Salt, Masuyo Kosawa, the aging CEO of the once mighty Ming-Kosawa corporation, reflects on the rise and fall of his company, the dark and desperate deeds that once made him the most powerful man in the universe, and the heavy costs that came with that power.
My friend Kaytalin Platt was kind enough to do an interview with me on Empire of Salt for her website. If you’d like to learn more, check it out here, along with interviews with many of the other contributors to the Family anthology.
Find Empire of Salt and twenty other brilliant tales in Family: A Writing Bloc Anthology, available here or anywhere books are sold.
