Description: "A Shared Voice is a conversation in narrative by twenty-four of the finest fiction writers in America.  A total of twenty-four tales, each linked to another by at least one literary element such as character or setting or theme, make up this first-of-its-kind anthology by writers from Texas and the Carolinas.  The individual short stories in A Shared Voice include twelve anchor tales--six by writers from Texas and six by writers from the Carolinas--and twelve original works of fiction written in response to the anchor narratives.  The result is a rich and varicolored tapestry of narrative voices by writers who have spent their lives weaving tales."--Publisher's web site.
