Produktbeschreibung

The KEAK Anthology is a collection of written works by the author with the addition of joint writings with her father, Artemios Korkidis. The book is divided into three sections, short stories, flash fiction, and excerpts from published works taken from five different novels.

The Short Story section includes sixteen stories in various genres within fictional literature such as literary fiction, mystery, thriller, historical nonfiction and fiction, romance, science fiction, and realist literature. In Patient Zero we visit a world that could be a utopian society but with an error in programming easily became a Dystopian society. In Times Past we follow our protagonist as she tries to solve the sudden death of a newly hired man of the cloth, and in the process realizes that she is the intended victim. We The People of Earth takes us on a journey well beyond our known space. The Battle of Crete is a memoir written by a witness, Artemios Korkidis, of the battle during the invasion of Crete in 1941.

The Flash Fiction section is the author's experimentation, under the persona of Katherine Elizabeth Ann Bell, with this form known as flash fiction. As noted by Reedsy Blog, "Flash fiction is a type of prose narrative that takes the form of very brief, self-contained stories. Its word count ranges from 5 to 1,000 words on average and tops out at 1,500. The form is unique in that, rather than focusing on plot or character development, it focuses on movement: each sentence (or even word) peels back a layer and progresses the story." The stories in this section are indeed short shorts. The first story entitled, The Blind Man, the Blind Woman is the longest at 1085 words. It is based on a dysfunctional romantic relationship. The Hug describes the power of closeness in 360 words. The Performance brings to the foreground the importance of self-confidence in 841 words.
The Excerpts from Published Works section offers a glimpse into the stories of five published novels. The first three Josette, Daniel, and 'Josette and Daniel' are part of a Trilogy entitled "The Story of Josette and Daniel". The chapters are chosen to introduce the readers to the experiences and thoughts of its protagonists, Josette and Daniel.

Autorenporträt

My name Dr. Katherine Korkidis. Over my many years in teaching my students have affectionately called me Dr. K. I currently have three master's degrees, two in the physical sciences, a master's in chemical physics and a master's in physical chemistry, in addition to an MBA in International Business and Marketing. I received my PhD in Biophysical Chemistry and did two years of Postdoctoral work in Experimental Hematology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After completing my postdoctoral work, I began to work in Industry. I was paid to do my own original research. As part of my position I taught at many universities and developed new technologies while having the opportunity to travel throughout the US/Canada, Europe, Russia, and the Far East. It was a wonderful experience, and I could teach and write at every turn. Eventually I realized how much I enjoyed teaching and writing and returned to my passion. Today I am a writer of sweet contemporary romance and historical fiction as my genres of choice. Josette is my first novel.
