Book Cover & Preview Text
Audra knew very well that nothing was ever certain. Every second of time has the power and potential to change the universe. An infinite amount of threads could come spilling out of any moment, taking her on an unlimited amount of varying courses through life. Any moment could change the rest of her life, which meant nothing was certain. With that said, Audra was quite positive there was a man following her. Most people would just see a man; a thin man of average height with shaggy blonde hair, wearing a charcoal-grey suit and Italian loafers meant to look more expensive than they actually were. He looked a little overworked, or like he’d been hitting the bottle too much lately. Audra saw that and more. The tailored suit and loafers clashed with the unkempt hair. This was a man who put effort into his looks, and his looks said the hair was long overdue for a meeting with a barber’s scissors. The suit was expensive but worn out, as forgotten as the hair. It also hung loose on the man, as if he had recently lost weight. And of course there was the monster riding on his shoulder.

About the Book
The Hoosier Writers anthology showcases the talents of writers who have, at one point in their lives, called the state of Indiana home. While the poems and stories enclosed are not specifically about the Hoosier state, a hint of the Midwest flows through many of the works. From award-winning writers who have been published many times to first-time authors, the entries enclosed create a tapestry of talent.
About the Author
Lowell R Torres was born and raised in Northwest Indiana, from the ghettos of Gary to the cornfields of Kouts. He fell in love with reading and writing at the age of thirteen, and immediately knew it was something he wanted to pursue throughout the rest of his life. He minored in Creative Writing at Indiana State University where he was heavily involved in the literary community, culminating in a semester as editor-in-chief of the undergraduate magazine and later the student newspaper. His time as editor of those two publications led to the eLaRTe pubs series of books which includes the Hoosier Writers series and now the Zombies?! Zombies!! anthology. He lives in Bloomington with his wife, Rachel, and two children.
