WRITE to the COVER

It can give life to brand new worlds, cause valiant heroes and horrific villains to be born, and inspire writers to take action, adventure, and intrigue to brand new heights. That's what a particular image by artist Adam Shaw inspired and why it now graces the cover of Pro Se Productions' WRITE TO THE COVER VOLUME ONE! Using Shaw's wonderful talent and atmospheric, almost haunting image of a robot and its guests as a starting point, seven of today's best Genre Fiction authors crafted tales of excitement, exploration, and danger! Wayne Carey, Philip Athans, Nick Piers, Joel Jenkins, David J. Fielding, Wesley Smith, and Phillip Drayer Duncan all started with the same piece of art and you will not believe where they each went from there.
