People have asked me if I’d do another anthology, after seeing how much work it is.
The answer is YES!
I don’t pretend it’s not work or that I like messing up and having 20 people call me on it, but like anything else, it’s a learning curve and I expect to get better each time.
because I knew what to expect – and how to pace myself. The next one, probably in November (maybe sooner) will be even easier as I continue to build the muscles needed to do the lifting.
Same with the anthology.
I had almost no idea what to expect when I decided to do this. In truth, some things I thought would be easy turned out to be hard, and some things that I thought would be really difficult – like formatting the paperback – were really easy. (Thanks again, Jenifer!)
This anthology stuff will get smoother with each one we do, too, and it’s been a lot of fun learning how to coordinate this, taking people’s stories and turning them into a book, and helping a few people become published authors for the first time.
I really can’t wait until we start the next one! (But I will. Because I’m kinda exhausted.) More of you will get published for the first time, with some bestselling authors! Where else can you get a deal like that?
International bestselling author Dan Alatorre has 17 titles published in over a dozen languages.
From Romance in Poggibonsi to action and adventure in the sci-fi thriller The Navigators, to comedies like Night Of The Colonoscopy: A Horror Story (Sort Of) and the heartwarming and humorous anecdotes about parenting in the popular Savvy Stories series, his knack for surprising audiences and making you laugh or cry - or hang onto the edge of your seat - has been enjoyed by audiences around the world.
And you are guaranteed to get a page turner every time.
“That’s my style,” Dan says. “Grab you on page one and then send you on a roller coaster ride, regardless of the story or genre.”
Readers agree, making his string of #1 bestsellers popular across the globe.
He will make you chuckle or shed tears, sometimes on the same page. His novels always contain twists and turns, and his nonfiction will stay in your heart forever.
Dan resides in the Tampa area with his wife and daughter. You can find him blogging away almost every day on www.DanAlatorre or watch his hilarious YouTube show every week Writers Off Task With Friends.

Writing one piece for an anthology is difficult, Dan, so putting the whole thing together must be pretty tough. You have done really well and I congratulate you.

There are so many good ones, it’s actually hard for me to pick a favorite. I like all of them for different reasons. Even Eric’s!
