I'm very pleased to be able to reveal...

 ... the cover of the second collection of stories from the Seasonal Collective. And yes, that does mean another book is on the way...

Round about this time last year, I introduced a new anthology of stories - Autumn Paths.  In the months that followed, some of my fellow writers from the Seasonal Collective appeared on the blog to tell the story behind their story in that first collection. And you can check out those posts Here  Here  Here  and  Here

Way back, when I was first approached and asked if I was interested in contributing a story, I had no idea that I would be doing so again for a second book.  But here I am, still slinging words together in the hope that they might make sense to someone somewhere.

The follow-up anthology to Autumn Paths is Winter Paths. We have a brilliant cover - see below left.  The stories are all finished and edited.  We have a blurb for the back, and we are almost ready to go to print.

As for my story, well, France is a feature, of course.  There's a bit of mystery in it, too - and why wouldn't there be?. And it's a story about family, secrets and lies.  I can't say much more than that at the moment, sorry.  But do look out for another post once the book is launched.

about the book... Nine writers - Seasonal Collective - from both sides of the Atlantic, including best-selling and award-winning authors, have created a second miscellany of stories.

From the frozen north, across continents, space and time, these stories will mystify, enlighten, intrigue and perhaps bring a tear to the eye. With a linking theme of winter - in all its guises - experience the warmth of friendly hearts, find companionship and place, encounter battles, uncover secrets, meet ghosts and witness the strength of maternal love.

There’s a story for everyone in this thrilling new collection.

The authors are :  

Allan Hudson, Monique Thébeau, Chuck Bowie

Yours truly, S C Eston, Angella Cormier

Pierre C Arseneault, Sandra Bunting, Jeremy Thomas Gilmer
