Can a lost hero find redemption?
What if Death himself wanted to die? Can deliverance be
found on a bloody battlefield? Could the gift of silvering become a prison for
those who possessed it? Will an ancient warrior be forever the caretaker of a
house of mystery?
Delving into the depths of the tortured hero, twelve
authors explore the realms of fantasy in this enthralling and thought-provoking
collection. Featuring the talents of Jen Chandler, L. Nahay, Renee Cheung,
Roland Yeomans, Elizabeth Seckman,

Hand-picked by a panel of agents and authors, these
twelve tales will take you into the heart of heroes who have fallen from grace.
Join the journey and discover a hero’s redemption!
In this marvelous collection of speculative fiction, we
journey through twelve wonderfully written tales to find out if the tortured
hero can be redeemed. - Christine Rains, author

WE NEED YOU!
Ever thought about being a co-host for IWSG posting day? Co-hosting means a lot more visitors to your site and it’s a lot of fun. Please leave a comment if you can volunteer this summer!
Heather, what a fascinating book the Anthology sounds.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be the success it deserves to be.
I will follow it's tour with continued interest.
Yvonne.
Hi Heather - lots going on ... and the Anthology authors have done wonders - I loved reading their thoughts on Michelle's blog - all the best and thanks for all your work during the A-Z ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the writers in the anthology! It's awesome that IWSG gives writers this opportunity to get published.
ReplyDeleteBig congratulations to all of the Hero Lost authors! Thanks for rocking our second anthology.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the authors indeed!
ReplyDeleteEver need a co-host the cat can help with his snarky self lol
An awesome anthology! Congrats to all the authors.
ReplyDeleteWhat Alex said. This surely must be a talented group of authors.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Yippee! The Anthology is HERE! A HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped make this a reality :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't do any research for my anthology story, but the weirdest thing I've ever researched for a project would have to be snake handling churches in Appalachia. It's a fascinating, albeit, weird topic but on the upside, I did get to watch an episode of the X-Files!
I'd be happy to help co-host this summer! :D Just let me know where you need me!
Cheers,
Jen
Congratulations to all the authors! It's an awesome collection.
ReplyDeleteThey're a very talented group. All of the stories are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the release!
ReplyDeleteI've cohosted before and I always enjoy it, so hit me up if you need help this summer.
Big congratulations to all the authors. A very talented bunch.
ReplyDeleteI can co - host this summer, just need a heads up. Congrats to all the authors on the new release.
ReplyDelete' Juneta @ Writer's Gambit
I need to start getting the fiction anthologies!
ReplyDeleteWhat does a co-host do?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy the anthology is out in the world! I hope many readers enjoy it. :)
Congrats to all the authors. I'm looking forward to reading this.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to host this summer!
ReplyDeleteI would love to host this summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe the anthology has actually been released. It seems like so long ago when I entered the contest. Where does time go? I can probably co-host in August. Cheers - Ellen
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the authors of Hero Lost!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a write-up of what a cohost does, before I make any commitments. Maybe I overlooked one somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI've got my copy of Hero Lost and am now just waiting for my Kindle to recharge. And waiting. Waiting. Still waiting...
ReplyDeleteBeing part of the anthology was especially thrilling for me this year. Seeing all the stories come together was exciting. I learned a lot of good storytelling.
ReplyDeleteIt was so exciting to be a part of this anthology...and see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the authors...amazing storytelling skills in one collection!
Ooo~ Definitely adding that to my reading list.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not sure what the weirdest thing is. I've never given it much thought simply because it's fact finding. However I can imagine at least a few search histories are worrisome given the number of times I've looked up anatomy, murder, and effects of certain lethal happenstances.
There are negatives to being a monster/horror fan...at least where the DoD might be involved. haha
Woohoo! Congrats and good job to all heroes behind this book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great coup. The anthology looks great. Congrats to all included.
ReplyDeleteI can be a co-host one of the summer months.
