The ACES Anthology 2023: Stories and Poems from Northern Nevada (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949971392)

The Aces Anthology presents short stories and poems from 25 writers, focusing on Northern Nevada. Some have written as many as 40 or 50 books, while others are making their debut in this volume. Bestselling and award-winning authors are featured side-by-side with newcomers. Among the entries, Ken Sutherland's debut story "SWOOP!" was selected as one of three finalists for the prestigious John Steinbeck Award. Whether traditionally or independently published, what these stories have in common is a passion for writing and a love of the singular swath of land that stretches from Lake Tahoe west to Ely and Elko: a land of majestic mountains, painted deserts, bustling cities, and ghost towns.

Many have chosen to set their stories in this region, whether in the present day, the recent past, or in the colorful era of the Old West. In the pages of this anthology, you'll read stories of faerie creatures, intrepid ghost hunters, a singing cowboy, aliens, and pioneers. You'll find murder mysteries, touching stories of love and loss, creative poetry, a touch of horror, and a few unexpected twists.

Many of the authors included in this work are also showcased on a website dedicated to displaying and promoting their works: ACES of Northern Nevada. ACES (the Authors' Collective e-Shop) is an online hub set up like a virtual bookstore and designed to introduce local authors to readers from across the region and beyond. As an outgrowth of the ACES initiative, this anthology shares that purpose. You can visit the ACES website at acesofnorthernnevada.com.
