July 19th, 2008: Carved in Granite is Released!

"Carved in Granite" Features New Hampshire Writers

(Temple, NH) - Saturday, a new collection of short stories from over a dozen New Hampshire writers was released. In addition to all being penned by New Hampshire authors, several stories also take place, at least in part, in the Granite State.

The group came together on the Internet, and were unknown to each other before they entered, and later won, a contest for New Hampshire writers held this Spring by SciArt Media of Temple. The anthology is entitled "Carved in Granite: Storytellers of New Hampshire," and the stories (in a variety of genres) are all previously unpublished.

Coffee Coaster Book Reviews is calling the collection as a whole “…first rate… the quality one expects if one were to… purchase a book of stories from one of your favorite international celebrity authors...” The contest, which originally drew over thirty authors presenting more than forty stories, was pared down to the final pick of fifteen stories from over a dozen authors around the state.

The stories include works of science fiction, fantasy, a retelling of a classic tale, stories of family dynamics and squabbles, looks at the inter-personal relationships between strangers, a dynamic fight for freedom against a government falling into tyranny and more. The stories seem to carry some common themes, however: they all live in the real world - where nothing is perfect, where struggle and hardship can be overcome, and only through that process can triumph be truly found. The other quality that ties the stories together is a New Hampshire flair, whether that shows through in the grumblings of a recent Massachusetts resident, now living in Chester, NH, at the transfer station, or the dynamics of the balance between security and liberty in a society at war.

"The idea, really, was to try to help the authors of New Hampshire by bringing them together in a collection such as this," explained New Hampshire native James Maynard, the owner of SciArt Media (and contributor to the collection). "My hope is that this project will help to highlight the writing talent that we have in this state which may go unnoticed by other publishers."

The authors come from Manchester and Bristol, Wilton, Epsom and Temple, Pelham, Lebanon and Derry, Londonderry, Chester, Raymond, Pelham and other parts of the state. Some are newcomers to writing, while others are already semi-professional writers.

The book went on sale online starting Saturday, July 19th, at: http://carvedingranite.sciartmedia.com. The collection will soon be available through large online retailers, as well as bookstores throughout the state. Book shows, signings, readings and more are planned in and around the author’s local communities, with more to follow. They will be announced on local and statewide event calendars and the SciArt Media website (www.sciartmedia.com). The company plans a similar collection (for holiday release) of original children's stories from Granite State authors.
