In March 2016, author Kneel Downe asked for submissions for a charity anthology with the theme of STOLEN. The only stipulation was that the entries had to be under 1000 words long. After many hours of reading, arguing and selecting, this is the resulting collection of 15 short stories and poetry. Even though all the authors, some of whom have never been published before and others who are well established as independent writers, kept to the STOLEN theme, it was interpreted in many different styles and the collection spans the genres, from sci-fi to romance to psychological horror. Never one to shy away from difficult and hardcore topics, Kneel has chosen work that deals with both physical and emotional loss, from the poignancy of lost love, through the emptiness of stolen dreams to the brutality of abuse. This is a small book that hits hard. All profits from the sale of this anthology will go to the charity childrenwithcancer.org.uk
