Hi all! We here at Hot WIPs & Sassy Chicks are *so* excited to tell you about this new anthology! The E-book comes out in two weeks, and is packed with short stories. Read more below:
“Well, I started this insane project and was hit
over the head with the idea during the Romantic Times convention last year.
Luckily, I was in the presence of some amazing authors and able to walk right
up and pitch the idea to them. Which is literally what I did, "Fifty First
Times, A New Adult Anthology...are you in?" And to my complete surprise,
it totally worked. I still can't believe the authors we have onboard. And I can
tell you, the stories are just fabulous. I loved every minute of reading them!”

author of the Tempest Series and

E-book
You
always remember your first time…
Fifty First Times is a collection of fictional short stories from a variety of
published Young Adult, New Adult, and Adult Romance authors aimed at a New
Adult audience. Each story magnifies a moment in two characters' lives that
shows the reader their decision to take physical intimacy to a new level, the
events leading up to this moment and in some cases, the events that follow. It’s about the couple
who decides not to go through with it, the two boys who finally aren’t ashamed,
the couple whose wedding night could very well be their last night together,
the deaf pair who have no choice but to take body language to a new level,
proving that love can exist underneath the external layers of humanity, and of
course the two young people fumbling and laughing, getting everything wrong yet
making a memory that will never fade.
“I love a challenge, and once the story idea
came to me, there was no turning back. Writing it was an absolute blast!” –Melissa Landers, author of Alienated
“I was really excited to join this project
because I loved the concept from the first moment I heard it. First times.
Firsts are so full of intense emotions--angst and joy and fear and
excitement--whether it’s someone’s first time ever or the first time with that
special person. So I knew it would be a blast to write a story about—in the
case of my story, “Two in the Morning"—two guys who have been best friends
forever but who may be developing feelings beyond that. As for writing with
this group of talented authors, what’s not to love? There are so many fresh
perspectives and original concepts in this anthology that I can’t wait to read
all of the other stories!” –Roni Loren,
bestselling author of the Loving on the
Edge series
