<p>Pictures carry many messages; we just have to open our minds to receive them. The same is true for stories. At first glance, they are just a bunch of words placed in some kind of order. But if the reader truly reads the story, many messages can be found.\nThese messages not only convey who we are and what we are, but they show WHEN WE ARE.</p>

We all have a world encompassing everything in our lives. Family, work, hobbies, bills, worries, stresses, and much more make up our individual worlds. Sure, we have to live our lives, but sometimes we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by our world. We give into the pressures of daily living and feel as if our world is “crashing down around our ears.” How many times have you said that? How many times have you felt as if your world is all there is, and there is no way out, no way to see what else is out there? Relax, there is an escape! And it comes in the form of a book. A book? A book is a simple thing, right? A front and back cover with pages of paper in between. You can swat insects with them, level a table with them, fill bookcases with them—or you can realize that a book is a transporter; a transporter for your mind, your consciousness, and your imagination. Between those simple covers, you can find unlimited worlds to explore, endless places to visit, and countless topics to ponder. This ESCAPE YOUR WORLD anthology is one such transporter. Inside, Kathy Bjornestad, Joseph Horst, Jeff Spitzer, Chelle Wotowiec, Joyce Munro, Simone Hanson, Dana C. Smith, Paul Andrews, Ronna L. Edelstein, John Bauer, Brenda Watterson, Marlene Olin, and Herb Wakeford are ready to aid your escape. Sit back and allow them to carry you away. Allow them to capture your imagination. Allow them to help you escape your world!

<p>Get lost!A simple phrase with complicated meanings. Taken one way, it can be considered quite rude and derogatory. Taken another way—the way this book intends—it is an extraordinarily great directive.Writers desire to achieve that blissful sensation of being lost in the words, to find that the story has taken over and is writing itself, causing even the author to breathlessly wait to see what is going to happen next.Readers also want that level of consciousness where their real world departs, and the words on the page transport them to places unknown.The mere fact that you are reading this description shows that you, too, are seeking to lose yourself in the written word, to leave everyday life behind, to be elsewhere.You’ve come to the right place! The authors featured in this anthology have crafted remarkable stories with the capability and the power to take you out of this world. So, buckle up, turn the page, and: GET LOST!</p>
