  1. This sounds like an interesting anthology. Global authors caught my eye because that is what Story Chat is – without the theme, of course. Thanks for sharing this. I’ll check it out. πŸ™‚ Thanks for stopping by Story Chat to leave a comment for Nigel. Your blog name will be linked to this post to record your attendance at the Story Chat discussion group.

    1. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, Marsha. I’m eagerly awaiting the March 8 release date for Michelle’s anthology. She deserves all the accolades she receives for her work to raise awareness of this issue.

    1. Thanks, Peggy. March 8 can’t come quickly enough as far as I’m concerned. I think of my mom, my older sister, myself, and what we endured at the hands of my dad, and it makes me all the more appreciative of Michelle’s work in bringing awareness to this issue. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it means to me to be included in this anthology. *feeling very humbled* 😊

  3. Mike, thanks for talking about this upcoming Anthology. I am so excited to be in a book with many of our friends. I think this book is going to fly off the shelves because all of us will want a copy and we know it is for a great cause. This series has been such a successful one for Mich already and I fell in love with the idea as soon as I heard about her producing an anthology. Mich is such a believer in helping people share their stories. She is a warrior and an intense educator. The book will be out before we know it. Yea!!! So excited about this book. Sending you big hugs and love, Joni ❀️

    PS I caught up with Nigel’s stories today and had that post, so I have been really busy, but I am going to spend time catching up with reading your posts on Gobblers and several other posts tomorrow. I am so blessed to be feeling better.
