While reading this website, I found it very interesting how several famous and well-known authors, publishers, writers, translators and readers came together to write The Valentines Day anthology. I wasn't sure of the definition of anthology, so I looked it up and found it here. I have never heard of anyone doing this before, and the article discusses how Africa was able to come together and make this happen. As the website shows, two of the titles that were published are called "A Tailor-Made Romance" and "The Elevator Kiss." It amazed me that every title that was published by Valentines Day were all 1,000 words or less. I looked up the story "The Elevator Kiss" and there, I found a short synopsis of the story:
After her disastrous breakup with her fiancé the only thing on Sindi’s mind is rebuilding her life. Little does she know that an innocent invitation, a certain mistletoe and a sprinkle of holiday spirit would be the catalyst of a steamy and passionate affair that breaks all the rules right from the bat. The Elevator Kiss features gorgeous locations, cosmopolitan characters, sneaky villains, drama and of course romance.
The website also discussed how the purpose of writing these short stories was so people could read about different romance stories from different culture's perspectives and see what they actually mean to them.
