Unlocked
(2022)A collection of stories by Anne M Beggs, Ana Brazil, Edie Cay, Mari Anne Christie, Rebecca D'Harlingue, C V Lee, Kathryn Pritchett, Linda Ulleseit and Paper Lantern Writers
In much the same manner as Pandora, each Paper Lantern Writer takes a turn opening an old wooden chest, digging out stories spanning seven centuries. The individuals in these tales—heroes, villains, and in between—are more than people from the past. Whether they are making mayhem, waging war, or quietly holding their families together, their strength and fortitude shines on the page. From the Swinging Seventies to the Middle Ages, these characters gather, keep, and spill the secrets of their souls.
