Like the Many Facets of a Diamond

Pittsburgh, PA, January 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Independent writer K. Crumley has finally released a collection of her own short works. Surprisingly, there is a little something for everybody: horror, medieval fantasy, and even one slipstream story. The characters are as diverse as the stories themselves.

Carousel of Nightmares features a young man haunted by nightmares of a place he visited as a child. Black Widow and The Curse are two very different tales of ladies unlucky in love. They will leave young men leery of their dates; paranoid of suffering some bizarre, fantastic fate. The Apple of her Eye is a spunkier version of a classic fairy tale. How Dare You?! is a humorous short fantasy about an amphibious creature's sentimental values. A Prince Reborn is a unique story that even children can enjoy.

KAR-MA is the story of a battered wife, divine intervention, and blissful irony.

Ms. Crumley only included seven stories in this first collection, and leaves us hungering for more. She chose to self-publish with Lulu.com, the fastest growing print on demand company online. "I wanted complete creative freedom," She states, "I love being in control of my books content, release, and distribution. Also, traditional publishing and even some other self-publishing companies take months and even years to release one title. I wanted this anthology to be out by Christmas."
