Broken Promises: An Anthology

Broken Promises: An Anthology

Presented by the Dublin Creative Writers Cooperative of Dublin, Ohio

WHAT IS A PROMISE?

A promise is a wedding ring, a symbol of forever love, or a lighthouse guiding ships to shore. A promise is a deal with the Devil, a prepper's safehouse in the country, or a commitment to care for a beloved pet. When you break a promise, something precious dies. Something...or someone.

Broken Promises is a collection of short stories by established and emerging writers from the Dublin Creative Writers Cooperative. Contributors were given only the premise of "broken promises" to play with, but common and unexpected themes emerged: marriage and infidelity, death and morality, myths, and the perilous sea. In this collection you will find flash fiction, short stories, and a novelette, written in a wide range of genres and styles from fantasy to suspense to historical fiction. You will encounter starlets, monsters, pirates, and ghosts. It is our hope that you'll laugh, gasp, snicker, and reflect as you read Broken Promises: An Anthology.
