Author Description

For this anthology, Madville Publishing sought out stories, real or imagined, that explore all variations of the idea of running away. We selected stories about running away, wanting to run away, and trying to run away. We chose stories that involved escaping with someone and stories that involved escaping from someone. Some of the stories tell of the ones left behind, about their feelings of loss and loneliness. There are tales of kids, teens and adults of all ages who have left, for whatever reason. They take us on their journeys down the road, across town, across the country, and across the world. They tell us about empty closets, longing, and unanswered messages.
