    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?

Mollyhousemouse's Stash

Coming back to the light.

Anxiety is like a long, dark tunnel. You can maybe, if you squint just right, see a dim light at the far end. But as you move towards it, it flickers and dims as you encounter a turn in the tunnel. You begin to doubt that there was a light. That what you saw was just a figment of your imagination. You do, eventually, reach some light. Only to find another tunnel. And it’s just as dark. And twisty. The tunnel is cold, damp, and dark. Very, very dark. Sometimes, you can see that light fl

Date Night

There are many different types of dates: a blind date, a first date, a second date, a coincidental date, a regular date, and a last date. Which will it be?   PT #291 It’s a balmy summer evening. Every table is occupied at the seaside restaurant. Dali sits alone at the table watching the sunset. Which kind of date is this?   PT #292 It seems circumstances have conspired to make someone late for their date: there are only red lights, construction sites, and

Lifeline

I'm always wondering just how much energy one needs to accomplish the plans you make in your head right before you go to sleep and then wake up. It's especially hard because sometimes way back in the day, I'd just forgo sleep and just focus on what was important, which is always writing, but that's not how things go, at least for me. I tell myself that I'm going to do this and that and even complete an entire to-do list complete with the checkboxes, and instead I fail.  I have been staring

June Signature Excerpt: Bearpaw: An Old West Tale by Headstall

Did you catch Monday's ad feature for Headstall's story, Bearpaw: An Old West Tale? Have you read it or put it on your to read list yet? Even if you have never read a Western fictional tale before, you should really give it a chance. His writing has a way of making you invested in the characters and their lives, and you won't be sorry (even if it's a bit longer than most, though that's the draw for me usually!). Check out this excerpt, if you haven't read it yet.  Want to read more? Click

June Signature Author Feature: Bearpaw: An Old West Tale by Headstall

This month I wanted to feature something that felt... substantial, and don't ask me why but I always tend to swing back to historical fiction when I'm warm and dealing with the swing of the seasons into summer. Probably because I was always running out of reading material as a kid on summer break and sneaking bodice ripper Harlequins and Louis L'Amour western paperbacks as a kid, lol! Now, I wouldn't put @Headstall's writing in either category, but I always enjoy his depth and dedication to the
