Bringing together the work of 8 talented and vibrant authors, Eight Rooms; is a collection of stories designed for the busy reader on the move. Stories are currently being submitted for this international competition with 31st October as the deadline. In contrast to the three previous collections writers were asked to contain their story within the space of one room, without placing any restriction on the time frame. The constriction of the setting will create a broad collection of stories, each one drawing the reader in from the first sentence.The term 'room' is open to the writers own interpretation. Overlooked for far too long, the short story can encapsulate everything literature has to offer into a concentrated nutshell. Not only that, but when placed side-by-side, as a collective force, the stories can offer a unique diversity and range simply not possible in the standard novel, for all the latter's great merits. Particularly in a society that is less inclined to wait... Views: 35

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight. Views: 35
