Nevertheless, She Persisted,
an anthology of short stories by authors from Book View Café and edited by
Mindy Klasky, releases today. I’m obviously very excited—it’s my first
published short story—but there are eighteen other stories in this compilation
worth getting just as excited over. This anthology celebrates women who persist
through tales of triumph—in the past, present, future, and other worlds.
From the halls of Ancient Greece to the vast space between stars, each story illustrates tenacity as women overcome challenges—from society, from beloved family and friends, and even from their own fears. These strong heroines explore the humor and tragedy of persistence in stories that range from romance to historical fiction, from fantasy to science fiction.
From tale to tale, every woman stands firm: a light against the darkness.

It’s available in ebook form
(epub and mobi) from the Book View Café website store as well as all the usual retailers—Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Apple iBooks...and in print too.
And yes, my contribution, “Alea
Iacta Est”, should be of interest to NineteenTeen readers, as it’s set in 1817
and features a young lady who chooses not to let the fact that she wears
petticoats keep her from her intellectual passion...for RPG-style war games. ☺
I hope you’ll read it...and
all the stories in Nevertheless, She Persisted.
