Would your characters try to swindle a dragon out of his treasure? Perhaps they’d try to steal the fastest spaceship in the galaxy? Or are they after something a little more sinister that’s in need of taking? Where ever and when ever they take place, the stories of these Thieves and Scoundrels will take hold of your imagination and ransom it back to you.
“Thieves and Scoundrels” holds 20 stories from 18 established and break out authors from all over the English speaking world; USA, UK, Australia and Canada.
As written by our Special Guest Reviewer, Marie Bilodeau:
"...when Absolute XPress challenged writers everywhere to write about thieves and scoundrels in an epic, gripping, and very brief story of 1,000 words or less, I was stoked."
Many writers answered that challenge, and we’re pleased to present you with this selection of winners. I can’t thank them enough for broadening my definition of thieves and scoundrels even further. Their approach to the theme and their writing are what placed them on the top, and we hope you enjoy these stories as much as we do.
The winning stories and authors include are:
Krista D. Ball – A Royal Scheme
Matthew Stroescu – A Gal’s Got to Eat
John Jasper Owens – Honey
Jay Raven –Wreakers
Andrew Magrath – Stolen Time
Pete “Patch” Alberti – A Chat over Drinks
Gerald Costlow – The Lucky Thief
James Beamon – Love is Beautiful, Stealer of Hearts
Marc-Anthony Taylor – Soul Search
John Hazlett – Jack of Hearts
Jay Raven –Strings
Josef Melton – Old Friends and Old Whine
