Wings & Fire, the newest horror anthology in the Box Under The Bed series, compiled by Dan Alatorre, is currently available for pre-order and will be published on the 15th of January.
I am delighted to say that I have three short stories in this anthology and they are all different. One is a dystopian story about our not-to-distant world deeply in the throws of climate change and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (my first sci-fi or cli-fi story), one is about a farm murder (horror story), and the last one is about the destruction of the pink and white terraces in New Zealand in 1886 (a historical paranormal story).
The Blurb
From the creators of the #1 bestselling horror anthology The Box Under The Bed and its #1 bestselling sequels Dark Visions, Nightmareland, and Spellbound comes Wings & Fire, a horror anthology with 24 stories from 16 authors.
Two high school girls discover an old book with strange that causes strange things to happen. As they learn more, they realize the book has unusual powers and may be a link to a mystical world and the people who “reside” there. But merely opening the book has its own repercussions, and someone you thought was a friend may suddenly not be. In a new world you don’t understand, can you ever be safe again?
Tremble along as this brilliant collection of stories reveals witches and wizards, fools and kings, lovers and demons – and a thrill ride that any horror fan will enjoy!
Compiled by USA Today bestselling author Dan Alatorre, this anthology of horror once again unites the minds and talents of more than a dozen amazing authors.

Thank you, Diana. Horror and paranormal does seem to be on the rise lately. I am thinking of excluding the paranormal element from my next historical novel because a lot of people don’t like supernatural.

I read a book last spring that added a paranormal element completely unnecessary to the plot. In a way, it stood out in an otherwise excellent read. You’re research is what I enjoy most about your historical work. It’s riveting and beautifully done.

Thank you, Diana. I like the paranormal when the story lends itself to it, but I may have a go at leaving it out for my next historical book.

“Glowing read”? Might describe the book but surely not a volcanis eruption. Not good to have such a typo in the promo!
