    Anthology Check-In!

    By Valkyrie

    Now that the Secret Author contest is behind us, it's time to focus on our next site event... the annual Anthology!  We have two themes this year - Horizons and Unspoken.  Which one is speaking to you?  Or are they both?  There's just about a month to go before the deadline to submit stories to me for the Proof Team to do their magic.  I've already had some stories come in, and I'm excited to see what else this anthology brings.  So, raise your hands... who's got something in the works for us?

Yet another month is gone in 2025. So what did you get done in the past 11 months that you needed to complete in 2025 ?   Let's see, um, er, hmm, I don't know.

Medellín and Stealing Home

So, now that Swing for the Fences has ended, my latest novel has started posting, Medellín. It's very, very different in tone and theme than Swing for the Fences was,  but I just ask (and hope) that readers give this one a chance, as it is probably my most personal and favorite story to date that I've written. Very heavy on the teenage angst, with the addition of bullets, bombs, and multiple love interests for Hunter (who is probably one of the most unsympathetic and unlikable narrators I've eve

November CSR Discussion Day: Ash's Marriage Trigger by Thirdly

This month I featured a story that I enjoyed reading by Thirdly, and I hope you did too! Odd, as I did not relate to the character (having married at 19) but I could just... get how intensely the characters were feeling at times. I always enjoy that and consider it the mark of a great writer. What did you enjoy about Ash's Marriage Trigger? Make sure you share your thoughts below, after you read this interview Thirdly did for me!  Do you eat your fruits and vegetables? Mostly vegetable

I'm mad! 😠 I'm irate! 😠 I'm absolutely livid! 😠  So someone told on me!! Told the US that I mistakenly took US Thanksgiving last week instead of the upcoming one. Now my green card lottery entry has been cancelled over it 😮 !!! I can think of one 'tuckian that would have reported me. No not you @astone2292   Okay, just kidding. All above is fictional and untrue.   The fact remains that I honestly thought it was this past week that Americans took most of the week off for
