    About this ebook

    Part of the Blyssfully Abnormal Anthology; What happens when you take a group of writers, the most talented & twisted that you can find, and put them into one publishing house? They form into the strangest dysfunctional family we've ever seen. No one asked the question, but Charity found the answer.

    So she wondered, what would happen if she gave us a list of seemingly normal situations and asked us to give them our own unique twist? The answer is the Blyssfully Abnormal anthology, a collection of stories that gives the reader a peek into the somewhat abnormal minds that bring us together.

    In The Medallion when Trin was given the medallion as a child, he was told it was a talisman for hunters that could save his life. He'd never found the need to test the superstition until he is well into adulthood. When he does, however, it works in a way he could have never imagined.
