WRITERS SPREAD THE LOVE IN NEW ANTHOLOGY

They say love makes the world go round - it's the most sung about, written about and talked about topic on the planet. In a new anthology from Smink Works Books, nine writers 'spread the love' with their short stories.
The Anthology Three Forms of Love: Eros Pathos Agape includes diverse stories that cover the full spectrum of love, from friendship to lust, with a dose of fantasy and philosophy.
The anthology is a showcase of the stand-out stories from the SWB 2006 Short Story Contest, which invited writers to submit stories about love.
Competition judge author Georgiann Baldino says her decision on the winners of the competition was more difficult than she expected. "The stories kept calling my name. I've read them three times and find something I like about each one."
Competition winner, Sydney writer Benjamin Hardy impressed with his subtle story of new love growing in place of an adored lost wife, Olivia Grosser's story Shrine of Remembrance took second place and The Four Winds by Katherine Abetz was awarded third prize.
