Josh, Hannah, Ash and Immy are clearing the attic when they unearth a mysterious treasure. Someone has collected dozens of charms in silver, bronze, gold and brass. Whose are they? What are they for? No one knows, but as the four are about to discover, every charm has a story...
The Charms anthology is a collection of stories for readers aged four to fourteen. It is now available in three age-graded volumes and in 2014 it will be available in a hard-backed omnibus. Charms is an innovative project containing more than a hundred stories and poems by authors from several different countries. The stories are linked by a storyline that flows through linking and embracing the stand-alone pieces by contributing writers.
Our authors range from teenagers to senior citizens, from multi-published pros to moonlighting artists and those entering print for the first time. We were all inspired by the project and we all love to write. We look forward very much to sharing our stories with readers. The first volume is packed with stories and poems for younger readers. We have lighthearted poems, bedtime stories, pets, grandparents, friends and wild adventures. Volume One is a sunny place, where pirates may run but they'll never catch you, and teddies find their way to loving owners. This is the place where readers from four to eight may happily browse for hours. The last few stories may appeal more to adventurous readers or nine or ten.
The second volume has older characters and broader-ranging themes and genres. Volume Two has more excitement, stronger fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, historical stories, a few tangled dilemmas, some tears and even a few shiversome creeps. Mature readers or nine or ten will find plenty to enjoy, while young teenagers may find the later stories more to their taste.
The third volume is mainly for the teenaged reader. Titles of the stories can be seen here.
Please note: Every story and poem in Charms is copyright by its original author. No part of this book may be used in any other way by any person other than the author except by that author's written permission.
Charms is available only through the authors. The chances are that if you have found this page, you know one or more of the creators involved with this anthology. Expect copies of Charms to turn up as competition prizes, giveaways, donations, in raffles, at fetes, in libraries and in schools. If you borrowed Charms from a friend or from the library, check the authors' puff pages for options to buy your own copy.
