Invitation to a Party . . .

One photograph.Beyond the Sea

An empty boat on the edge of the sea.

Why is it there?  How did it get there?

The sea has washed all footprints away.  Was anybody in the boat when it landed on the beach?

What stories could it tell?

Twelve writers, members of the Underground Authors, studied the picture. And each wrote the story that the picture, the boat, whispered to them.

The result is the anthology Beyond the Sea.

Friday, May 7 at 5:30 p.m. CDT, the group will host a virtual launch party on FaceBook.  All of the authors will be there, ready to answer questions, give “the story behind the story.”  And there will be prizes that those who attend will have a chance to win.

Try to join us for this virtual launch – and see what the boat whispered in our ears.  Click   https://bit.ly/3ams2AG   to see the event page.

Of course, if you can’t wait, the book is available right now on Amazon at  https://amzn.to/3sZ0O9W  in digital.  Paperback copies will be available at the launch.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Profits from Beyond the Sea will be donated to Team Rubicon, an organization that helps with disaster relief (a 501C3 recognized charity).
