Greetings all,
I mentioned this once, briefly, on a Book Cover of the Month post, but I wanted to give the announcement it’s own bit of air time.
The Power of Words is available for preorder for 99 cents.
As those who follow my blog know, I’m a goal oriented man. My goal for this anthology is 100 preorders.
I’d have to admit, even 20 preorders would be good. This helps us out in a lot of ways. When the book goes live, if we get enough preorders, it helps out our ranking, and we’d love to see this book in the #1 spot for Science Fiction Anthologies.
I hope you’ll help me reach my goal. It would mean a lot.
But let’s talk about this great book.
AMAZON BLURB:
In the beginning, there was the word.
Some religions state that the very universe was created by words. The nation of America was founded using words. Words established the rights and freedoms this nation enjoys. The first of those rights is freedom of speech, which implies so much more than the right to use words.
This anthology contains four stories from four authors. Each story pays tribute to either the ideals held by America’s First Amendment or to the concept that the words people use hold power.
These authors took the concept of words, and placed it in futuristic, apocalyptic, and fantasy settings:
TW Iain creates a world where citizens only seek to hear the words of others rather than consider their own.
Richard T. Drake crafts a world where a leader must speak for the underprivileged masses who simply can not speak for themselves.
Heidi Angell tells of a world where humanity itself is dying, and a man strives to preserve what he can in hope that any who survive will have something with which to remember the world that was.
M.L.S. Weech brings to life a world where words were taken from society, and a mother plots to give those words back if only for her daughter to be able to speak.
The word was the beginning, but it will never end.
END BLURB
I’ll be reblogging and sharing stops on a blog tour we’re participating in. We’ve already gotten some love from J.R. Handley and Rainne’s Ramblings. Please check out those posts for some real fun and revealing interviews. We have more on the way, but this is a great start.
I don’t think I could be more proud of a project. This started out as a flash of inspiration for my own contribution, Stealing Freedom. I was joined by three wonderful authors, and I’d put these four stories against any others out there.
I hope you’ll all decide to give it a try.
Thanks for reading,
Matt
