Lizzie’s Wacky Anthology Presents:
15 Shades of Neigh


Another year, another wacky anthology, all for a good cause! Giddy-up!
15 Shades of Neigh had one simple theme—Horse. Someone, something, somehow the story has to revolve around a Horse. Enjoy a wild ride from centaurs running the Kentucky Derby, kelpies, a hag who keeps turning people into Neigh-bors, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, AND SO MUCH MORE!
Explore paranormal shenanigans, second chance romances, and the incredible creativity of ten authors who were completely unsupervised for this whole endeavor. This collection is truly a fun ride. All proceeds from this anthology will be going toward Planned Parenthood.
With love and Horses.
Get to know the Authors!

R.N. Barbosa
R.N. Barbosa writes sweeping dark fantasy, where love defies fate, gods walk among mortals, and magic is as dangerous as it is beautiful. Their stories weave together epic worlds, deep emotions, and characters who must embrace their darkest truths to survive. When not lost in myth and magic, they can be found gaming, crafting, or appeasing their two mischievous orange familiars.

Marilu Moser
Marilu Moser is the sensational scribe behind witty, charming, and thrilling monster, paranormal, and supernatural romance stories. She hails from the land of chocolate and crayons, also known as Pennsylvania. Marilu is a proud mother and wife with a degree in Psychology, which is used not only to shape characters, but also to illuminate her path towards nurturing the hearts of her loved ones.
Her dad joke game is top-tier, and she’s a tireless optimistic who’s powerless to resist root beer floats and pizza. Legends speak of her snort-laugh, a sound of pure delight. When she’s not busy conjuring tales of enriching characters and worlds, you can find her snuggled up with her furry companion, lost in the pages of a gripping novel, indulging in crime shows, or racing the orange roads of Hot Wheels with her children. When the board games are brought forth, her fierce spirit leads her to triumph over her husband (almost every time), with a smile.

K. Archer
While I’m usually paiting book covers or promo art, it’s exciting to be on this side of the page again. My art takes a lot of inspiration, as well as classic fantasy illustrators. My writing, on the other hand, is fueled by action and adventure movies (with a little horror, as a treat). Drawn to twisted humor, monstrous women, and complicated love? Contact me to get the first Hag & Horn story for free.

D Williams
I’m a retired 44-year-old Puerto Rican wife and mother of 3 plus 1 bonus daughter. Originally from NYC, now living a quiet life in the south suburbs of Chicago. I enjoy reading and writing romance and erotic fiction. I’m addicted to coffee, sci-fi, and all things Marvel.
I was a teen mom with a whole world of statistics against me. Every time I was told I couldn’t do something, I did it, took pictures, and smiled with my son on my hip for everyone who ever doubted me.
Now, after finding the love of my life in my thirties, we married in the great 2020 pandemic, which shall not be named. We have a house full of teenagers who don’t need mommy anymore, and the hubs is a traveling ER nurse, SO I have found myself with a lot of downtime.
After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I’ll get it right.
