In this place, fish of every rainbow stripe flutter like butterflies through endless indigo leaves. But it isn’t perfect. Even magical places have cave-like crevices of darkness and secrets too.

Creeps
They come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are scaly and walk on webbed feet through shallow marshes. Others linger in the water, slimy and waiting for human toes to snack on.
Most of them are blood thirsty. Many are merely curious.
There are those who dwell on land, hiding behind trees and roots the color of mud. These creatures can run quicker than the fastest man. Beware: They’ll catch you if they can.
They are the creepy critters childhood nightmares are made of. But this isn’t a book of child’s play. Instead, it is of the creeps whom even the bravest of adults is most certainly afraid.
Look out…The creepers are coming. You have been warned.

Virtue
You’ve heard of the seven sins. You’ve heard of the seven virtues. But have you read about them? Thirteen authors, two anthologies and one duet make for the perfect combination of reads for any sinner or saint. Introducing the Seven Series anthology duet: Virtue and Sin. We’ve all heard of the seven deadly sins.
But lesser known are the seven virtues that give us our humanity.
Faith is belief in the right things (including the virtues!). Hope is taking a positive future view that good will prevail. Charity is concern for, and active helping of, others.
Fortitude is never giving up. Justice is being fair and equitable with others.
Prudence is care of and moderation with money. Temperance is moderation of needed things and abstinence from things which are not needed. Seven authors will take on the seven virtues in a zany multi-genre mash up in hopes of restoring faith in the human condition.
Join us as we shed a light on the good in humankind…

Sometimes, to find what’s missing, you have to step back…
Christmas Past will take you back to when things were much simpler and a spirit lived between the lights and holiday glitz.
With stories in as many genres as Saint Nick can fit in his bag, Christmas Past offers something for every reader. It’s as simple as that.

Art Inspires Words
What happens when a painting meets the blank page?
Book One
Book Two
Famous French impressionist Edgar Degas said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” With that sentiment in mind, Crazy Ink accepted submissions from numerous authors who choose from two dozen paintings in the public domain. From the painting each one picked, the writer was to develop a short story for this collection. They could use the painting as inspiration for their story in any fashion they wished. Authors could take a scene set in medieval times and create a story set in the twenty-first century; writers could have the painting stolen or destroyed and write a mystery; or they could simply reflect on the colors, shapes, or mood of the painting to decide which direction their stories would take.

Carrier Wave
‘Carrier Wave’ is defined by the dictionary as ‘a high-frequency electromagnetic wave modulated in amplitude or frequency to convey a signal’. Kind of like humour. If you can make people laugh, they seem to become more open to your message. This can be very powerful for writers. In this anthology you will find a range of approaches to making you laugh, from ‘real-life comic drama’ to humorous misunderstanding, from observational humour to a playful ‘messing about in tropes’. Of course, you’ve chosen this book at least partly because you are predisposed to laugh, but I think you’ll be impressed by these efforts to catch you off-guard and surprise you. See what you think.
