You were thinking it’s something earth-shattering you could take to social media with, but it’s not “earth-shattering” (what does that really mean anyway). It is, however, great news and something I’d happily let you take to social media with.

Today I posted the cover reveal for a project I’ve been working on for two years for Pikes Peak Writers. Shadowing my predecessor, Kathie Scrimgeour, in the first and taking over as the project manager in the second. Today I posted a cover sneak peak of the fourth of the Pikes Peak Writers Anthologies on our social media channels. Cover designer Joshua Clark did and outstanding job with our cover along with highlighting the authors of the short stories and a special Monk Addison file by none other than amazing Jonathan Maberry.

Edited by the fabulously talented team of James Sams, an accomplished anthology publisher in his own right; Deborah Brewer, on anthology editorial team since the first PPW anthology with an eye on everything; and Eric Stallsworth, award-winning speculative fiction writer, with an eye for detail any copyeditor would envy; these editors helped our authors make their stories the best they could be.

All of our staff and authors are members of Pikes Peak Writers. The purpose of the anthology is two-fold, to give PPW members a place to shine and to help members who are new writers learn about the submission and publishing process in a safe and trusted environment, including some of the bumps and skips they may run into along the way. We are proud of all our anthology authors and look forward to seeing more great work from them in the future. We also commend all the writers who submitted for their courage. It’s a scary thing, putting your creations out into the world. Don’t stop!

A Little about Pikes Peak Writers

Pikes Peak Writers is an all-volunteer writers organization led by an all-volunteer board of directors on which I humbly serve as president in addition to a number of volunteer positions I currently cover. We are committed to helping writers grow and thrive through education, outreach, and community as stated in our mission statement. The Anthology is just one of the many ways we fulfill that mission. We also host several events on a monthly basis, run a regular writing blog, and put on a conference every spring. If you’re a writer, I would encourage you to check our PPW. I’m not just the president, I’m a member!

To learn more about membership and our monthly events visit our website at pikespeakwriters.org and to learn more about and register for our annual conference coming up May 2-4 please visit conference.pikespeakwriters.org.

Stay tuned for a future post with the full cover reveal and a list of our contributing authors!
