New! Find Crossed for Gold in Car Wars Anthology
Hey folks, I made a mistake and I need to rectify it. I have a story in an awesome Car Wars anthology called GO HARD OR GO HOME: A CAR WARRIORS AUTODUEL CHRONICLES anthology which debuted in April, during the month of PocketQuest, and I missed promoting it and sharing thanks.
Dear Steve Jackson Games Car Wars enthusiasts, readers who love character-driven stories with explosions, fans of Jody Lynn Nye’s keen editorial eye, and Three Ravens Publishing readers and fellow authors,
In case you missed it, a brand new collection of Car Wars stories debuted in April. Titled GO HARD OR GO HOME: A Car Warriors Autoduel Chronicles anthology, there are nine high octane stories filled with betrayals, high speed chases, and so much more.
The story I wrote is called “Crossed for Gold,” and it’s about a desperate character named Edge who’ll do whatever it takes to save her niece, Tessa. Embedded in the story is a car that I personally love for its aesthetic.
“To cough up five grand in a day or two, I’d sell my one true love: a vintage Shelby kit car that, when assembled, was worth about 50 grand. Original or not, an ultra-rare 1965 Shelby S/C Cobra CSX Series 6000 was the kind of mid-20th century car many nouveau riche collectors would be proud to own—with or without weapons modifications. Except, kit cars were as common as algae. I needed an immediate buyer for mine.”

If you haven’t checked out this heart-pumping anthology yet, I encourage you to do so. I loved writing this story!
Eternal gratitude to Jody Lynn Nye, Steve Jackson, my publisher, WJ Roberts, and to you—the reader of this post. I greatly and deeply appreciate seeing my name on the cover.
Thank you! And drive on...
Monica
P.S. Yes! I am open for more anthology invites. Shameless, I know, but an author's gotta eat.
