We have TWO launch events to announce this month:
- A Youtube launch for the Severed Souls ebook.
- A joint live launch for Uncharted Constellations and Severed Souls.
Severed Souls e-launch
You are all hereby invited to the launch of the Severed Souls ebook on Sat, 29th October at 11am BST. Like the Uncharted Constellations e-launch, this event will be broadcast live from our Youtube channel.
Anthology Launch: Paperback Edition
On Saturday 26th November, we are going to have a #ChartedSouls launch party at Leicester Friends Meeting House. Showcasing both our lockdown anthologies, this event will celebrate the journey through the stars that Uncharted Constellations took us on and the reflection on identity that Severed Souls drew us into.
You will be able to pre-order paperback copies of Uncharted Constellations and Severed Souls at a discounted price during the interval between these launches (29th October to 26th November).
Re-introducing the Anthologies
Uncharted Constellations
In this space-themed anthology, twenty writers take the last Space Race as a launch pad to propel us far into the future. Uncharted Constellations crosses genres from dark science fiction to lyrical poetry, via twists of flash fiction and fragments of memoir. And between the strangeness of space and the loneliness of long-distance missions, you will find the human heart refracted in a myriad of ways.
Severed Souls:
From fragile identities to monstered invasions, from migration to metamorphosis, twenty writers explore the ‘Aliens and Otherness’ theme. In stories, poems and weird flash fiction, they expose tensions between Self and Them. Some express a deep-rooted yearning to belong. Others capture the horror of mutation. On planetary surfaces or more familiar terrains, these Severed Souls unearth an obsession with the alien.
