For the last four years, I've been working with a group of authors from the other side of the pond that we refer to as the Atlantic Ocean. Over that time, we've produced four multi-genre collections of short stories, the first, Autumn Paths, being published in September 2021. From the very first germ of an idea in January 2021, we took almost nine months to create the content and publish the book in both e- and print format. We have continued to deliver three more miscellanies of stories since then, thereby forming the entire seasonal paths series.
If you haven't read any of them yet, perhaps some comments from a reviewer about the first book (see below) might encourage you.
'This enticing collection of short stories are [sic] sure to uplift, inspire, and satisfy hungry readers. With tales spanning multiple genres, including adventure, mystery, sci-fi, and more, you'll find something for everyone. I very much enjoyed the variety and impressive quality of the storytelling. Every story was developed and executed well, and each author brought a unique perspective and writing style to the collection. Autumn is the underlying theme, but these stories are perfect to read any time of the year. I look forward to reading more stories by these talented authors.' Reviewer in Canada
Even though we have completed the 'Paths' series, we haven't been idle. We've decided to create another series of related anthologies. Thus far this year, we have created more stories, compiled them, designed a cover, and are now about to move to the proofreading stage.
For this new series, the writing team has changed and we've increased our number to ten. The constitution of the Seasonal Collective may have evolved since we first started out in 2021, but the enjoyment, camaraderie, and support across the team are still very much alive. I'm really looking forward to seeing our new anthology in its final form.
So, watch this space for some exciting news coming soon ...
