Author Description

The 2021 Indie Authors Short Story Anthology was born out of necessity. This group of authors participates in short story writing groups throughout the internet, and while their work is seen by those in the groups, it was decided that the stories needed to be published to reach a broader base. And while many writers and artists struggle to create during the events of the COVID 19 Pandemic, this group endeavored to write. These stories are a small sampling of their accomplishments.<br> <br> The idea originally started with Mustang Patty and her small indie publishing company, Heathory Press. For the 2020 Anthology, she invited authors from across the various writing groups she participated in, Reedsy.com and Deadlines for Writers. The 2020 Indie Authors' Short Story Anthology consisted of thirty stories from eighteen authors, and this current volume has twenty-five contributors, offering thirty-five stories.<br> <br> These Authors represent six different countries, across five continents.<br> <br> They are:<br> Thom Brodkin, Tammy Godfrey, Sue MacDonald, Steven McKenney, Richard Newell, Renee Pellegrino, Nina Heiser, Sunny Abernathy, Mustang Patty, © Maruschka Scott, Mackenzie M.
