Eeeek! I’m so excited. That Moment When… is on the market.
great stories for teens
It’s actually been out a few days, but I’ve been waiting for it to go free on Amazon. It’s already free on iBooks, Nook, and Kobo, but Amazon is being a slow boat. Of course, it’s a busy time of year, so they’re probably slammed. And it’s only 99 cents on Amazon until it gets corrected, though nothing’s better than free young adult books.
So what’s it about? That Moment When… is an anthology of young adult writing, with short stories that all focus on the moment when everything changes. There’s a broad range of genres, so it’s impossible to read this book and not find some great stories for teens or adults. And you may just walk away with a new favorite author.
Below is basically the table of contents, with links to the different authors. My story is in the Fantasy section (Running Toward Illumia). I’ll be adding all this info to a book page as well, so it’ll be easy to find.
The authors in the collection are pretty much brilliant. I can personally vouch for the entire Fantasy section. I haven’t had the chance to read the other sections yet, but Derek Murphy and David R. Bernstein headed up the project, and they have excellent taste. (Ahem, they chose my story.)
What are you waiting for? Go check it out!
