So, in theory, we should all be gathering at the Hunt Valley Inn for Shore Leave, but you know, things happened. There’s a virtual version that will have some panels this weekend and throughout the next few weeks.
However, Crazy 8 Press won’t be slowed down. As promised months ago, we are debuting our latest anthology: Bad Ass Moms.
I have a story, “Shoot Straight”, in the collection and it’s a fun little story about a Rifle Team coach and her side job. I find myself in some excellent company, as noted below. The book has an excellent design and should make for some fine summer reading.
We’ll be launching our anniversary logo with the release, which looks spiffy.
Here’s the official description:
To celebrate bad-ass moms everywhere, Crazy 8 Press has assembled a fantastic line-up of authors to create stories spanning numerous genres, including sci-fi, contemporary, historical, and fantasy. Since moms and badassery come in infinite forms, the authors were given only one criteria: that their story be about a bad-ass mother or mother figure, whatever that meant to them.
From grandmas to new moms, biological moms to adoptive moms to mom figures, this collection features a fantastic range of stories. A human mom on the PTA of a school for supernatural kids. A new mom who adopts two babies with special powers. A hard-boiled detective who stumbles upon a mystery while looking for childcare. A grandma who fights back against an unsavory mayoral candidate. A witch who battles dark magic while wrangling her kids. An artificial intelligence who nurtures delinquent boys sent to her care. And much, much more.
