Books by Phillip McCollum

Do you call yourself a writer, yet feel you're a fraud because you've never finished anything, let alone achieved publication?Is there a nagging voice inside your head telling you to give up because you'll never nail this 'writing thing?'I was once you.Within 52 Stories in 52 Weeks, you will find a culmination of a 52-week journey I commenced on July 31st, 2017.The basis for this experiment was at the suggestion of Ray Bradbury who recommended that all beginning and intermediate writers follow this 'writer's hygiene' program, because there's just no way you can write 52 bad stories in a row.Here, I present all 52 stories along with a journal of the process behind each one. Also included are general lessons I've learned that I hope will turn struggling writers into prolific writers.

Are you a fan of the upside-down worlds of the Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or Black Mirror? How about Stephen King or Neil Gaiman?Then spend some time reading these 26 twisty, turny stories that cross genres and blur the lines between reality and fantasy.In Andreiana, it’s 1985 and the Soviet Union is about to make its move on the United States. Only a mysterious girl can stop them before its too late.In Your Punching Privileges Have Been Revoked, an aging boxer is looking for a comeback and an old man seems to offer the key.In A Letter to the Gubamint, aliens begin to invade Coconut Groves Mobile Home Park and it's up to one citizen to inform the government.All 52 of Phillip McCollum's Fantastic Shorts are available over two volumes.
