Animal Stories, Anthology, Holiday Reading

My story, “Man’s Best Friend”, is a humorous take on how earth changed after its former inhabitants return fifty-thousand years later.

***************

The award-winning “Sweet, Funny, and Strange” series of anthologies from the Bethlehem Writers Group, continues with this collection of twenty-five tales about real, legendary, or imaginary animals. From snakes to ducks to unicorns, there are tales here to match any mood, provide a chuckle, or warm a heart in our latest anthology, Fur, Feathers, and Scales.

This eclectic assemblage of stories includes terrific tales from beloved BWG authors including Courtney Annicchiarico, Jeff Baird, Jodi Bogert, Marianne H. Donley, DT Krippene, Emily P. W. Murphy, Christopher D. Ochs, Dianna Sinovic, Kidd Wadsworth, Paul Weidknecht, Carol L. Wright, and Will Wright.

Among our tales, Peter Barbour recounts a legend in “Why Bats Live in Caves,” Jerome W. McFadden asks the question of what animal to choose to be in “Recycled,” A. E. Decker shares an appreciation of cephalopods in “Tipping Point,” Ralph Hieb imagines an unconventional pet in “Buttons,” andDiane Sismour, in “Critter,” reveals that mules are not the only equines that can have a stubborn streak.

In addition, we are happy to present the winning stories from the 2019 and 2020 Bethlehem Writers Roundtable Short Story Awards. Angela Albertson, our 2019 winner, shares her heartfelt “Oranges and Roses,” and our 2020 winner, Brett Wolff, gives us a good laugh in “Hubbard Has a Fancy Bra.”

So cuddle up with your favorite pet-real or imaginary. No matter. You’ll find just the right story to share. Available from Amazon Books.

Fur, Feathers, and Scales: Sweet, Funny, and Strange Animal Tales (A Sweet, Funny, and Strange Anthology) – Kindle edition by Group, Bethlehem Writers, Donley, Marianne H., Wright, Carol L.. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

About DT

dtkrippene

dtkrippene

A native of Wisconsin and Connecticut, DT deserted aspirations of being a biologist to live the corporate dream and raise a family. After six homes, a ten-year stint working in Asia, and an imagination that never slept, his muse refused to be hobbled as a mere dream. A member of the Bethlehem Writers Group and social media chair for the Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Group, DT writes dystopian science fiction, paranormal, and alternate-world fantasy. DT appears in the "Write Here – Write Now" short story collection with a middle-grade paranormal, Locker 33C, the paranormal collection, "Untethered" with Hell of a Deal, and a featured author with the "Writers Roundtable Magazine" with Snowbelt Sanctuary and In Simple Terms. His latest project is an apocalyptic tale of humans on the edge extinction, and a young man born years after surviving humans had been rendered sterile. You can find D.T. on his website and his social media links, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
