Origins: An Anthology, published by Columbus Creative Cooperative, is now available at retailers in Central Ohio, as well as online vendors.
An impressive collection of short stories, Origins features the work of local Columbus writers like Amy Dalrymple, Matthew Hance, Chad Jones, Ben Orlando, Brad Pauquette and Kim Younkin.
The book, ISBN 978-0-9835205-0-4, is available at all Cup O’ Joe locations, as well as several other local retailers. The paperback may also be ordered online at ColumbusCoop.org, and a Kindle Edition is available only at Amazon.com.
“This is a great accomplishment,†explained Columbus Creative Cooperative director Brad Pauquette. “We’re so grateful to the local businesses that have supported this anthology, and to the great readers of Ohio who will make it a success.â€Â
The nine included short stories were selected from droves of initial submissions from Central Ohio writers.
“We found nine short stories that I think you’ll really enjoy,†Brad Pauquette said. “All of them are professional-quality stories by local authors, and I think a few of them will really knock your socks off.â€Â
Origins: An Anthology, which retails at $9.35, is suitable for most audiences, but intended for adult readers.
