Publicity 1

I’m not going to blow my own trumpet. (Well, not yet). I do want to go on the record for this statement, though: the stories collected for this anthology are some of the best to come out of Singapore in a long time.

Having spent yesterday going through the submissions with Caz and Femke, I have to say that Singapore writers are extremely talented and creative and perhaps more than a little crazy.

Sure, our theme has been about love and lust, but the way each author has responded is awesome. Romance and steamy scenes have been mixed up with horror, noir, revenge, coffee, bedwetting, escapism and all sorts of other twists. If we were to publish today, we’d be short-listed for the Booker-Man. I kid you not.

So when are we going to publish? You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out.

Joe.
