Rising Speak on Apocawhat?

Hmm ... she taped it on the inside of the mailbox this time. That's a little more secure. Wow, looks like somebody went grocery shopping.

I. SEE. MOVIE. BUTTER. POPCORN!!!

Okay, while that is underway, let me once again introduce myself. I'm lousy at this Intro stuff. I tend to just walk in and start yapping.

It's Da'Kharta Rising, getting my invasion to discuss a freebie that is hot off the presses, called "Apocawhat?"

"Apocawhat?" is a play on the word apocalypse but with a twist. The questioning of "What's going on, really?"

Brother Urvin and Sister Lizzie are preparing for what they believe will be a quiet routine day of stocking up on groceries. When they see the neighborhood grocery store crowded during a day and time when it's usually quiet, they must fight through their insecurities and anxieties to maneuver through the crowd. 

👉For those who struggle with not being accepted in society, you'll be able to relate.

👉For those who get triggered when they are around large groups of people, you will definitely be able to relate.

"Apocawhat?" is not my usual brand of heaviness, but when you read the story, you'll discover it's typical Rising Speak when you least expected.

Well, the popcorn is all done. Make sure to check out "Apocawhat?" on my website or on the Freebies segment of All Authors Publishing House.

Rising Speak on Vocal Remedy

Wow … people still put keys under rocks and wonder why their stuff is missing. Luckily for Rosie, I don't steal, although I do find movie butter popcorn and pop it from time to time, usually forgetting to wash the bowl when done.

Also, luckily, I'm not really a burglar. Just some writer that wanted a small space to talk about something free for National Short Story Month.

Wait, still haven't introduced myself properly. I am Da'Kharta Rising. If that's too hard to pronounce, you can call me S.A.S.S., the Slightly Antisocial Socialite. I know how people are too lazy to do full consonants and vowels, so they'd rather abbreviate.

Today, I'm speaking on one of two freebies I have available for National Short Story Month. Perhaps this whole project will have me putting down freebies more often, since I can go years without putting out a full length anything.

Okay, now I'm rambling. It's time to remedy this situation. See what I did there? It's a lead-in to the very freebie I speak of, entitled "Vocal Remedy". 

So ... why Vocal Remedy as the title? For one, I liked the sound of it. Two, the "vocal" represents the profession of the teacher Mr. Choice. Three, the "remedy" bit is driven by the actions of Vaser. Seriously, don't you just hate it when a title has nothing to do with the content? Maybe it's just me.

I know you see the cross but trust me, this has nothing to do with religion or any such taint on it. However, the cross has meaning too, but I'm not going to give away that tidbit.

You'll just have to R.A.S. (Read and See).

Check out this freebie on my website or in the Freebies section of the All Authors Publishing House store.

I'll be back to talk about my other one, or whenever Rose replenishes her popcorn supply.

"Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno" Cover Reveal

Today the members of the All Authors Family are celebrating the cover reveal of "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno", the fourth installation of the Concordant Vibrancy anthology collection.

First, the blurb ...

There is a universal fascination associated with passion―its defining element, fire, as well as the unseen. Yet how many dare to trespass beyond the final product, exploring the ingredients which keep it sustainable?

This is the traverse of the fourth installment of the Concordant Vibrancy collection, presented by All Authors Publications and Promotions, entitled “Inferno”. Nine phenomenal talents diverge under one purpose: the creation of literary works guaranteed to set the mind, heart, and spirit ablaze.

Stories included:

“Express-Oh” by Adonis Mann

“Not Always Like This” by Carol Cassada

“The Fireman” by Harmony Kent

“The Complications of Fire” by Beem Weeks

“Calliope’s Inferno” by C. Desert Rose

“Moxy” by Y. Correa

“Antipode” by Synful Desire

“The Chronicles of Aidan” by Da’Kharta Rising, and

“The Calefaction of Insight” by Queen of Spades.

Since January 2015 All Authors Publishing House has been exploring the elements of nature through the enterprise known as Concordant Vibrancy, an All Authors Anthology Collection.

Book One explored Unity under the theme question of "What elements contribute to the concept of unity?" The element being Earth. Through an array of tales, the authors explained what Unity meant to them.

Book Two examined Vitality. The theme question was, "What force drives your spirit?" The element was Air. Here the authors endeavored to answer the question with a combination of stories and essays.

Book Three looked at Lustrate using the theme question, "What embodies the composition of fluidity?" The element was water. Herein the authors spoke lucidly and clearly on what fluidity meant to them.

Book Four takes a peek at Inferno ... the element of Fire. It asks "What are the ingredients to a sustainable blaze?" By far the best of the collection, "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno" is a demonstration of depth in thought and evolution in craft.

Now, without further ado and with great pride All Authors brings you the cover of "Concordant Vibrancy 4: Inferno".

"PLEASURE PRINTS" IS HERE!

Where is paradise?

Adonis Mann: Desperation and delusion are a marriage of emotions. Sentiments collide when three lives tell their tales. Hypnotizing and melancholic are the days of the souls who pursue the "Odyssey of Rhapsody".
