The WritersNet Anthology of Prose reverses the trend of the publishing industry expanding onto the Internet. What began as an on-line evaluation and editing workshop on the WritersNet website turned this trend on its head when the best of the material submitted by writers across four continents, both published and unpublished, both previous best-sellers and those seeking their first appearance in print, was published in this two-volume anthology. This project not only showcases the widely diverse talent of new and established writers and has established a new common-purpose dimension of community among the writers participating in WritersNet, but it also serves the community at large, as all profits above production costs are being donated to the Salvation Army in remembrance of the events of 9/11. The resulting fiction collection of sixty short stories by fifty-three separate authors provided in this volume one of the anthology, WritersNet Anthology of Prose: Fiction, is much more eclectic than is normal with such works. These stories defy the normal “common thread in content” rule. You can find something here to entertain you—and to make you ponder—no matter what your reading pleasure. Explore and enjoy.

My address didn't change to easy street after becoming a Christian, but the sorrows and struggles and even the persecutions that followed were still a light affliction compared to the darkness of my past. There's one big difference. Before I became a Christian, I was completely alone. There was no one! It was dark, empty, and very, very lonely. But since my salvation, I have never walked it alone. That was thirty-five years ago—half a lifetime ago—and I am more in love with Jesus than ever.When she was only eighteen months old, Janet DeAngelo was placed in an orphanage where she stayed until the age of ten. For the next five years, she was in and out of foster homes and suffered sexual abuse at the hands of foster parents and her birth father. Her adult relationships were equally tumultuous, and her husband Nick brought her even more pain. But what Satan intended for evil, God used for her good. After a lifetime of afflictions, Janet had a miraculous encounter with the Lord and was Rescued.'Janet's heart-wrenching story reveals the life changing way out of every 'fire' and gives hope to those walking in the very shoes she once wore. Rescued will unveil the lies and tactics of Satan that is operating in many lives today. Janet is living proof that God's saving grace is for ALL, no matter how deep the pit. Get ready to be touched and delivered from deep wounds that have been hidden for far too long.' —Minister Merari Rodriquez, Radicals-4-Christ, Boca Raton, Florida.
