Marcia Gloster: 'Losing Will' was about "an overconfident and arrogant publisher seduces his loyal and adoring secretary and with little regard for her or the woman he intends to marry, expects to have her at his beck and call." Was just a secret in his life? After working for him for 5 years...will this relationship happened? Well, I will stop here and say this was quite some read!

I found these short anthologies were rather enjoyable read giving a sample of each of these 12 fictional writers which included their bio's, My favorite anthology comes from Lost, which came from the car trip taken by the Prendergast brothers in 'Ashes' by Author Steven Manchester. Many of these authors I hadn't heard of that will definitely keep the readers attention especially some of those sci-fi, horror and thriller reads.
I felt that 'A Dozen Truths' was definitely a wonderful way at getting to know and meet new authors!
