“I love the challenge and creativity of combining two genres like this,” said Publisher Lori Perkins. “And I LOVE Gone with the Wind and The Walking Dead. It just seemed like a natural mash-up to me.”

A digital copy of the book will be available to all Romantic Times attendees with a limited-edition code throughout the convention.

The stories should be a minimum of 1000 words, and a maximum of 5000. Please include a brief autobiography with your submission.
