Are you all getting in the mood for the spooky season now upon us? I hope so. Today I’m thrilled to share that the local writing group I belong to, the Bay Area Queer Writers Association (BAQWA) is putting out our first anthology: BAQWA Presents: Horror Show 2021. This is a follow up to last year’s highly successful Bay Area Queer Writers Association - Halloween Radio Hour 2020. If you haven’t listened to last year’s creepy story time, give the radio show a listen here.
This year we have ten stories written by five of our authors: Wayne Goodman, M.D. Neu, Richard May, Liz Faraim, and R.L. Merrill. We wrote each story to give you a delightful fright. Also, this year, all proceeds from the book will be donated to the Billy DeFrank Center in San Jose, CA. We are excited to help support this wonderful center here in the heart of Silicon Valley.
To give you a little tease as to what to expect in the anthology, here are the two blurbs for my two stories:
LandsEnd:
Prom Night. The last hurrah before college. Brandon and Ed are the chaperons for the Land’s High Senior Prom, hosted at the Land’s End Yacht Club. Its a night of dreams until the ground shakes and flashes of light brighten the sky knocking out everything electrical casting the event into darkness. Cut off and alone. The adults and the students have to figure out what to do and what’s happening. Additionally, what is that strange clicking sound off in the distance that seemed to scare off the animals.
The Old Road:
Halloween; a night of tricks and treats, but what happens when you take a stranger for a creepy night of mischief and fun? Anything can happen on Halloween, even the unimaginable.
