Sinossi

Flashbang is a self-anthology whose stories range from a comedic anti-bullying narrative to a somber haiku to a prosaic stranger-danger tale, all in strikingly vivid detail. In each of these stories, these everyday people are searching for something after having a very rough and weird day. Be it a sense of peace, confidence, freedom, each of these diverse characters need something desperately. Will they get what they want?

Informazioni sull'autore

Rorie Still was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rorie holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro, North Carolina) and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Lincoln University (Lincoln University, PA). Rorie worked as an elementary school teacher within the Philadelphia School District from 2010 to 2013. Having found a passion for writing since she was in the second grade, Rorie has been word weaving from her story trunk ever since. In April 2013, Taking Wing, the story that seeded her first book, Flashbang, was first introduced to the public as a winner of the science and speculative fiction writing contest, Octavia City, organized by The Black Tribbles, then a G-Town Radio podcast. Rorie read the story live on the air for the program. Afterward, Rorie was chosen to be one of the featured artists in Art Sanctuary’s 2015 Celebration of Black Literature. Rorie also published her second book, Hidden Melody, this same year (a co-authorship with Naila Mattison), which also debuted at the 2015 Celebration of Black Literature. In addition, during 2015 to 2016, Rorie presented writing and personal development media workshops with various Philadelphia associations. Some of these associations were Arts Holding Hands and Hearts, the Philadelphia Free Library, and The Advocate Center for Culture and Education. In November 2016, Rorie produced a soundtrack EP for her first book, Flashbang. The Flashbang EP 1 was released on Bandcamp in November 2016, and in 2017 Rorie began her literature-based cosplay group, The Flashbang Cosplayers. This year, Rorie won a Leeway Art and Change Grant Award to finish the Flashbang graphic novel. Now, she is presenting the Flashbang Experience Panel at conventions, working on the completion of the Flashbang graphic novel, designing the designing the Flashbang graphic novel workshops, and working on publishing her first (and Dracula-based) novel.
