Well... It's Your Cow
Esther Jones, author
In the throes of a convention full of geeks, Frog Jones told a story.
That story is found in this book’s foreword, but the key line from the
story became the title for this anthology. The authors seized upon that
line, much like an out-of-control bovine seizing its own halter, and
stampeded into the volume you see before you.
This is not just a comedy anthology. Nor is it horror, or romance, or
literary, or…well, any one thing. Rather, it is all those things. Each
story starts exactly in the same place. But each author immediately
leaps from there into their own world. This anthology celebrates
the creativity of these authors, because it does not shackle them to
a theme. The starting line is the same—the fi nish line is on other
planets, in other times, and in alternate realities.
You’re not going to feel cohesiveness reading this thing. It’s not
going to be several stories hitting the same note. But you are going
to experience a wider panoply of stories than you would in other
anthologies.
And as to what you make of them, or what stories they may inspire in
you? Well…that’s your cow.
