The members of my romance writing critique group, The Minxes of Romance, have
often chatted about how nice it might be to work together on a project. These
conversations usually took place during our late night Skype sessions, when the
talk turns to our ideal dashing hero.
For a long time, it was just chat – a nice idea of something we might do
at some future point. Then, one day, it turned serious. There was talk of a
common thread – firemen. LorraineWilson worked on a setting. Someone suggested a deadline. And then we had a
cover...
Working with friends - particularly when those friends are spread across
the globe shouldn't be easy. But, in fact, preparing and self-publishing our
Fireman Anthology was more like fun than work.
Of course, it helped hugely that we had our own self-publishing expert
on hand: Sally Clements has
self-published a number of her own titles and has been phenomenally successful.
So we shamefully used her expertise. And it's a mark of how good a friend she
is that she took on the majority of the work and kept us all organised (thanks,
Sally).
The result of this is Blaze - an anthology of eight stories (ranging
from 5,000 to 9.000 words) with very different voices.
