One by one, the authors of "The Truth That Can't Be Told," the anthology by members of The Lake Forest Writers' Roundtable, uncover the stories behind their creations included in the anthology and beyond in their interviews orchestrated by the talented Comedienne Bethany Therese, in The Real Writers of OC program.
"The Truth That Can't Be Told" was released on May 15, 2021, as a collaboration of a group of writers who, prior to the pandemic, used to meet at a Panera Bread in Lake Forest. Zoom made it possible for us to keep meeting, and we never missed a chance. TTTCBT, as we nick-named our book, was the product of an idea posed in one such Zoom meeting, and brought to life, step by step, by our group, by joining our writerly and organizational skills.
"The Truth That Can't Be Told" is best summarized by one of our writers:

"Secrets abound. Everyone has them. They live in all we do–truth hidden from those we try to deceive, to those we love the most. The Truth that Can’t be Told, is a collection of stories and poems covering a range of genres and styles which encompass humor, romance, Sci fi, and mystery, allowing expression in narrative or poetic form. Written by an eclectic group of writers, The Truth that Can’t be Told brings together perspectives and creativity with one common theme–truth! Each work is as diverse as the writers, but all are varying tales of our oneness living the human condition: losses our hearts mourn, memories for which our souls yearn, the hurt we cause, the pain we endure, the evil of which we are capable, the dreams we imagine, and the deeds we fail to do. These works encompass what defines us, nourishing our humanity, exposing the worst and inspiring the best in us, by unraveling what is most hidden–the truths that can’t be told."
After publishing "The Truth That Can't Be Told" through Zoom meetings, the group used the same environment to talk with Bethany Therese to "zoom" into their own writing process, as well as the genesis of their works.
