Golden Box Book Publishing One Picture: Thousands of Words | Page 3

Introduction
Every author is unique, not only as a person but as a writer as
well. Each of us sees things a little differently, and each of us has a
unique “muse” to whisper stories into our ears when a sight, smell,
sound, or touch triggers a story.
One morning as I was searching for a picture to do a book cover
design, I came across a portrait of a young woman. Her expression
woke up my muse in an instant and a story started forming in my
mind.
Then, a thought occurred to me. What if I would challenge a few
author friends to look at the picture and write a short story of their
own?
We did, and the result was amazing. Not only did we write the
stories in different genres and styles, but everyone saw something
different in the young woman’s expression, eyes, body posture, and
the colors of the portrait, but the combination triggered totally
different stories in our minds.
This collection of short stories is published free of charge, and the
purpose of the anthology is to introduce the writing style of the
authors, to readers.
We hope you will enjoy all the stories. Please visit the authors on
the links provided with their short biography and take a look at some
of their published books.
As always, happy reading and writing!
