Beatitudes and Woes Anthology.
https://www.amazon.com/Beatitudes-Woes-Speculative-Fiction-Anthology-ebook/dp/B07TVYXN49/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Beatitudes+and+Woes+perry&qid=1562959792&s=books&sr=1-1
I was excited to be a part of this anthology happening and having my story, Blessed are the Merciful, accepted.
I wanted to write about mercy. You may have noticed my blog name is Molten Mercy. It's hard to give mercy when you've been betrayed or harmed. It's hard to believe you can receive mercy when you've done the harm. Mercy costs. I think of what it cost Jesus to extend the mercy of God to us.
I need mercy every day.
So I grabbed the verse of my choice and tried to think how to illustrate mercy in a speculative fiction way, when I realized I had that story in the novel The Scarred King I: Exile. I just needed to tell the story in the viewpoint of one of the people who is not the protagonist.
The other people who joined in (all were members of Realm Makers Consortium) also joined a new Facebook page where we encouraged each other and prayed and discussed covers and learned a bit more about each other. We had so much fun.
And now we all hope that you have fun reading and being challenged by the anthology based on the words of Jesus Christ.

Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You.
From the moment
he could walk, Bowmark has trained for a fight to the death. The Disc awaits
him: a giant bronze platform suspended over a river of lava. He dreads the day
of proving—when he must kill or be killed—to claim the throne.
His people have hidden
from the rest of the world for generations. But when the discovery of a
mysterious Atlas reveals forgotten lands and peoples, Bowmark begins to
question his culture's traditions and laws. His
unavoidable future seems grim and pointless when contrasted with another world
full of unique civilizations populated with other intelligent species and
marvelous creatures.
Meanwhile new
threats arise from the depths, hidden enemies emerge from within, and soon
everything and everyone Bowmark knows and loves will be changed forever.
Torn between a
desire to fulfill his duty, and his empathy for others, Bowmark must use all
his intelligence and courage to navigate an uncertain future.

Light, sweet fantasy romance.
So I read this and aside from all the yucky kissing, the short book was fun.

News Release from Geralyn Wichers
WINNIPEG AUTHOR CHANNELS EXPERIENCE WITH ANXIETY INTO OTHERWORLDLY SERIAL Free serialized story to launch online
A local author’s new science fiction story has a deeply personal bent to it.
No, Geralyn Wichers has never helmed a covert expedition through an interdimensional portal, but like Charlane, exarmy officer and lead character, she never feels quite good enough.
“As women today, we face pressure from every side,” says Geralyn. “Be it our career hopes, expectations of family, or body image, it’s everywhere. It’s right on the phone in our hand. No wonder so many of us live with anxiety.”
Bridger: a Dystopian Serial is a science-fiction story told in episode form. It’s set in a world bled dry by global war and swiftly running out of resources. With her mental health and career in shambles, Char has left the army for a remote research facility.
But when a humanoid creature from another world appears, Char agrees to helm a covert mission to follow the creature back to his world. The mission: find new resources and gain an edge in the war. But an encounter with her estranged husband leaves Char torn between saving her country and saving the love she didn’t know still lived.
As she wrote, Geralyn felt a kinship with Char, who had given everything she had to advance her career.
“Char thought if she just got one more promotion, she’d feel worthy of love and respect,” Geralyn says. “In my own life, I catch myself thinking ‘if I would just lose a few pounds, if I would get nicer clothes, if I wasn’t working a deadend job—then people would like me.’”
But this isn’t a morality tale. Geralyn leads readers on a cross-world adventure full of danger, lies and romance. Visit bridgerserial.com to read and subscribe.
