Fwd: 'Short Tales Extravaganza' - EBOOK - PDF

[Doctor Fab]

Hello,

This is

1. -- to answer a question about the poems submitted for the project originally named "SHORT TALES & PROSE POETRY" :

As I wrote in November, I preferred to split the two parts, so as to have a prose book (stories only - see PDF in attachment) and a poetry book (prose poems + non prose poems). This second book ("POETIC FANTASIES") will be published soon (hopefully).
Also forthcoming:
– 'A Disconsolate Planet — Poems on Climate Emergency',
– 'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? — The wave of global protest'.

2. -- to let you know that a project for a 2nd collection of TALES (free theme) starts now 🤓

We'll use the existing 34-google-group (Short Tales) to gather submissions for the collection. Those of you who are interested, if not already members of group 34., are invited to join through the following link:

• https://groups.google.com/d/forum/34-short-tales

After registration, you'll be able to submit your tale through the GROUP EMAIL:

• 34-shor...@googlegroups.com

Submission : 1 (one) TALE of at least 2,000 words, but not exceeding 10,000 words, sent in a file.Word

• DEADLINE: MARCH 31st

The tale must be UNPUBLISHED.

Cheers

F.

Hello All,

Please, be so nice to check your own tale --plus, if you can, let me know errors / typos in other tales also.

With your feedback, I'll be able to go on and publish also the Paperback edition. Thank you

This collection of nine stories offers itself to the reader as a kaleidoscope with which to observe different aspects of the complexity of human nature.
They are stories told in different tones and accents: some are realistic and autobiographical narratives; others are dreamy and imaginative tunes..
But whether they are presented with realism, even in an aura of harshness, or with a fantasy full of humor, they all manage to capture the reader's attention and transport her/him into a parallel world, created in the likeness of ours...
Enjoy the reading!
