12 Facets of a Crystal is a collection of
short stories written by 12 internationally published authors from different
parts of the world. 12 Facets of a Crystal is an end result of a short story
writing contest. 12 authors contributed their stories to participate in the
short story writing contest, published as 12 chapters in this book.
I cannot share the links of this book – my second
book in collaboration with 11 internationally published authors, as we are yet
to get the links, once it is live in January, 2013. But the project is approved
and the cover page of the book is right here with a title suggested by my
author friend Frank Valentyn Van Oostveen. The book is edited and compiled by
my author friend Daren Despot.
I have written the ‘Foreword’, ‘Contents’ and
‘Blurb’ for this international project. 12 Facets of a Crystal is an anthology wherein
each story is woven around an interesting plot. A reader’s mind will oscillate
between the real life experiences and world of fantasy, as presented through 12
short stories, formulated by 12 authors of different age groups and literary
experience.
A picture of all 12 authors that will be remembered!
I stood sixth in the competition though my
story entry could not be judged by few members as I lost my old FB account. I
am happy to be first among the three Indian authors who have sent their stories
as a part of participation. I always believe – there are no losers in a competition; there are only learners!
I look forward to share all the links of this
international project in both the formats – paperback and kindle.
Thanks to JustFiction Edition for publishing
this book for all 12 of us. It adds one more book to my bucket of writing.
Thanks to all who read me so far!
Merry ChristmasJ
