Coming in April from Down & Out Books: DOWN TO THE RIVER, an Anthology in Support of American Rivers

TAMPA, Fla. - Feb. 19, 2019 - PRLog -- Down & Out Books is pleased to announce that DOWN TO THE RIVER, an anthology edited by Tim O'Mara with an introduction by Hank Phillippi Ryan and stories by Reed Farrel Coleman, Bruce DeSilva, Patricia Smith, and more, will be published on April 22, 2019 in trade paperback and ebook formats.

"Down to the River is a collection of twenty crime stories that take place on or near American rivers from some of the strongest voices in crime fiction writing today," said O'Mara. "As these stories show, rivers are not only sources of life, they can also be scenes of murder and revenge."

"When Tim approached me about publishing this anthology, I was immediately struck by the breadth and depth of talented writers associated with it," added Eric Campbell, publisher of Down & Out Books. "And when I learned that the authors had donated their stories to show their support for American Rivers, I immediately decided to move forward with the project."

American Rivers is an organization that truly understands America would not be America were it not for its amazing rivers and waterways. The authors and American Rivers believe that rivers connect all of us as Americans and need to be protected and preserved for future generations.
