Variations on a Theme Anthology is Available!


Get it while it's hot! Literally hot! Variations on a Theme has gone live on Amazon. Sorry, but the anthology is not available for Kindle or any other ebook format. We've decided to take the Kindle version down for Notes From Underground as well. Why? Mainly because the Kindle versions never really sold and it's a lot of work to format those manuscripts just for a few sales. So print only! Makes them more special if you ask me!

And trust me, if you're a fan of The Literary Lab, you want this anthology, and probably all three of them. I won't say why yet, but you do!

Go purchase your copies now. It's a beautiful, exciting, and entertaining anthology. I can't wait to get my final copy!

Also, it should be noted that Notes From Underground has been reformatted. We fixed a name spelling and made the text a bit bigger (it was just a bit small before). It's still the same price as it was before. All three anthologies are $8.56 each. We feel this is a pretty reasonable price for a nice print book.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE LITERARY LAB. None of these anthologies would have been possible without you!

  3. Yay!!! I can't wait to hold it in my hand. And you're right....the print copies are so much more special. Was that the spelling of my name you corrected?:) Thank you! Thank you for everything. I can attest to the quality of the previous publications and soon, I'll be able to add this one to my shelf, to my coffee table, to my gift lists, to my bathroom reading basket. Thank you.

  7. Hurrah! One of the most annoying things about publishing (and blogging too, I'll bet) is that there's so much attention given to corrections and not enough to compliments. With that note of warning I say, "but doesn't "Variations" include the works of Bailey, Davidson Argyle, and Malasarn as well?"

    I am looking forward to reading all the stories! And maybe doing a little guerrilla World Book Night (http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/) action. -Mary

    1. Bailey, Davidson-Argyle and Malasarn? Never heard of them.

      I was thinking of leaving copies on buses and around campus.

    2. Mary, our stories are like those stupid jokes at the end of movie credits. We don't acknowledge them, and most people don't wait that long to see them. But one day someone will discover them and smile or groan. Then we'll have done our job.

  8. Yat-Yee, sorry about that! Maybe Michelle had the winners on a different list because Judy Croome wasn't on there either. I just added you both.

  14. Are net proceeds (are there any?) still contributed to the writers' charity?

  15. Congrats to all these wonderful authors on another exciting Literary Lab extravaganza!

    But I'm not understanding the logic in taking down the ebook of Notes from Underground. It was already formatted, right? It doesn't cost anything to leave it up on Amazon for eternity. And eternity is a long time to get sales. Even if we just got one a month. That's 12 more a year than we'll get now. Just sayin'...
