On October 2, a new book will be launched – an anthology of short stories by Chester County Authors, setting their stories in Chester County.
Sixteen stories ranging from historic fiction to drama to terror will be included in this book by thirteen writers living in the same county; I am pleased to say my short story, titled “The Prey” is among the sixteen.
Here is an excerpt from my hunter’s tale:
Four dogs—three bluetick-hound hunting dogs and one larger black dog—stood on the road in front of me. Their master was not in sight. The hounds were big dogs—knee high at their shoulders, crotch-high heads, long tails held upright. Two started to bark at me; the third joined in, while the fourth, the black dog, smelled the ground. Without an owner, they were a pack, relying on ancient, wolf-like instincts; these dogs were a serious danger to me.
I slid the gun off my back and broke the double barrels open. My hand was trembling as I took two red shotshells from my pocket and dropped them into the chambers, closing the gun with a thump.~~~~
The Book Launch will take place at Baldwin’s Book Barn in West Chester, PA Sunday October 2 at 2:00pm. If you are in the area, please stop in (a free beer to attendees who desire, I’m told). And, Kudos to Jim Breslin for bringing the project together.
Otherwise visit Amazon.com.
Cheers !!!
