Loeb’s best stories of the year. In 2019, Blue Forge Press selected nine authors and sent them monthly writing prompts for one year. They were radically diverse people in terms of experience, style, ideology, class, politics, race, sexuality, and religion, but they all gave a year of their creative lives to craft their best work. We face ourselves more than anything else when we step into the realms of fantasy, noir, and horror. Eliza Loeb does just that with a little muse, a forsaken queen, two lovers who met in the most unlikely of circumstances and more. Loeb reaches out to the readers and asks: What is it you’re looking for and what will you give in return? Blue Forge Press used a light editorial hand to allow the writer’s voice to be heard in its original state: Undiluted, unaltered, and raw. Minding the Storm collects all twelve stories written by Eliza Loeb plus an extensive interview and a thirteenth bonus story written in 2020.
