Over the past few weeks, I've been regularly regaling you with news, information and wonderful competitions in the #ReadMyMind magazine. I hope you've all taken the opportunity to avail of the many chances to benefit from the #ReadMyMind team. 
Today, however, I want to focus on one of our team's foremost projects. Inspired by team member Rachel McGrath, one of the magazines contributors, the team has decided to put together a short story and poetry anthology - but not just any anthology, I am quick to add. 
As you are probably well aware by now (God knows I keep harping on about it) the core values of Read My Mind are: love, tolerance, friendship and hope. Our anthology proposes to celebrate these most essential core values. We, as a group, believe there is way to much negativity in life today and anything we can do to counter that. we will try. 
LIMITLESS is an attempt to celebrate all writers who want to contribute a short-story or some poetry, to be published alongside some of the best authors in the industry. We want to shout our core values from the rooftops and we want you, our loyal readers, to be right there shouting with us. 
We also want LIMITLESS to benefit something concrete and real that genuinely helps people, in need, in the world. For that reason, ALL sales from the book will be donated to the worthy charity The AMAR Foundation.
So, what are you waiting for? Everything you need to know to enter this competition is in the graphic above. Get your short story or poetry together, that reflects our core values and sent to our coordinator, Rachel McGrath.
Here is where you submit your short story or poetry.

release blitz - a symphony of heartstrings by t.e. hodden

Hello,
First thing you should notice: I'm not Grant. This is an author take over, to shamelessly convince you to buy A Symphony Of Heartstrings.
Right, so, what is A Symphony Of Heartstrings? It's one of Roane Publishing's line of Novella Niblets, which means it is a short novella perfect for a lunch break or commute. For those unfamiliar with the publisher, they have a knack for vibrant, colourful, stories with a rich, emotional core. It is the story of Bob, the guy behind the scenes of every Romance, and every Happy Ever After you may have read. He can see the we of relationships and emotions that binds the world together, and sneaks around London arranging all the little coincidences that make a story.
​Historically, Romance is a great genre for short, self contained, stories. The imprint most associated with the genre, Mills & Boon was created to be a short read, bought on a Friday, for payday, to keep somebody company over a weekend. (For more on that, check out a recent episode of the Allusionist podcast). I've always liked writing these chocolate box stories. Making a story fit the page count keeps the plot tight, and demands efficiency with characters and exposition. It is always fun, to write like that, (although, and I can not stress this enough, the editors at Roane work really hard making sure every cog of the story is in the right place, and freshly oiled, so the story rattles along without a grinding of gears).
