It is with great pleasure that I announce that Kizuna: Fiction for Japan
is out! This charity anthology is unlike any other. Featuring a mix of
authors - the known and the unknown, created and developed to be
released and read online, but designed to also go into print, Kizuna: Fiction for Japan
is a labor of love of 76 different writers from 11 different countries -
all of whom are taking part in helping the victims of the earthquakes
and tsunami in Japan this spring.
I'm
not exaggerating when I say this was the brainchild of American-born,
Japan-based writer Brent Millis - who alone developed the idea of a
charity anthology and then started seeking the opinions of people he
knew online.
Brent and I have known each other on
Twitter for a couple of years, and on Facebook for nearly as long. We've
never met, but we have a clear respect for each other's work and
ability. And following this, Brent has my highest level of respect as a
man able to do what few others have ever even attempted.
