Dear Friends, Family, Fellow Authors, and Cherished Readers,
I am pleased to announce that my work appears in the recently published anthology, 42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42². Please consider purchasing the anthology while it is still on sale for the holidays; it supports authors such as myself and others featured in the 42 chapters and acknowledges the incredible work done by the editor, B.A. Mullin. This anthology has been in the works for many years – I first became aware of it in 2019, and have followed its trajectory carefully. I am happy to say that as of November 2024, it is published and available for purchase.
“This amazing anthology of 42-word stories contains 42 chapters in 42 genres, ranging from Alternative Reality, Crime, Horror, oDDbALL, Poetic Prose, Sports, to Zombie, including Craft of Writing by world-renowned authors. Enjoy a wild ride through 1,764 stories within Book of 42².” – A Description of the Anthology from the Back Cover
I am honored to say that you’ll find my ‘Craft of Writing’ chapter entry towards the end, in the final chapter. I was also the guest judge of the ‘Outer Space’ chapter, which excited me in light of my unflagging dedication to Starfleet and Federation values, be it as it may that Star Trek is still just a distant dream (and a sprawling franchise of a dozen shows and thirteen movies plus countless official works and an all-but-infinite sea of fanart!)
I would also like to take a moment to give thanks to everyone who has believed in me, my writing, my body of work, and my potential to create literature that moves people and makes a difference. I owe you all a great debt of gratitude.
Thank you to everyone reading. Have a joyous Thanksgiving, if you celebrate, or simply a beautiful day, if you do not.
As always –
May inspiration find you in unexpected places,
Caitlin Cacciatore
