December Signature Excerpt: Button by Cole Matthews

It's our last excerpt of the month, so I had to make sure I picked a good one for this month's Feature from Monday: Button by Cole Matthews! I know this is a longer story than the last few months, but it's worth it, right? Plus with the chapters being vignettes, you can take breaks if you need to. I hope you enjoy Button.

December Signature Feature: Button by Cole Matthews

November Signature Feature: Save Tonight by CassieQ

November is a month when we focus on family in the US. Sometimes it's the thing that holds us together, sometimes it's the thing that breaks us... and sometimes it's both. All I can say is bring your tissues when you read Save Tonight, if you haven't already, or you can't pass up another read like I couldn't!  Length: 5,911 Description: 'What do you want?' A wish reluctantly made, urged on by his little girl, brings Gavin something unexpected. A Reader Said: Written in 2013

October Signature Excerpt: I.D. by CarlHoliday

October Signature Feature: ID by CarlHoliday

When I read this story, it honestly spooked me... so what better month to feature it than October? Do you remember this anthology feature from 2021 written by one of our Signature authors?

September Signature Feature: One Hundred Forty-Five Candles by Aditus

I felt a bit of a kinship with this story, being as I like food challenge shows, and September happens to be my anniversary with August my birthday... and those often get mixed together due to hunting season, lol. Trust me, the story is FAR better as you learn the reason for all the candles!  Length: 1,813 Description: What's better than one reason to celebrate? Two reasons. Victor and Peter will explain in an interview for the cooking blog Stirring the Pot why they decorated the

August Signature Author Feature: On the Grass by AC Benus

This story so evokes feelings of nostalgia, even though my age is not close to those of the story, but that's just how good the word craft is. This vignette, a peek into a life that was lived though a different lens, should not be missed!  Length: 9,880 Description: An itinerant photographer stops by the one town he’s avoided for the last twenty years. What is it he hopes to encounter there? What is this ‘one last thing’ he feels he has to do? A Reader Said: If you like hist

July Signature Author Feature: Christmas Confidential by Valkyrie

Well, it's July... and what's more fitting than a Christmas in July feature? I couldn't think of anything, so that's what you get! This month I'm bringing you a story that's really a series of stories written by Valkyrie (along with Aditus) that you should read now if you're craving a little holiday cheer.  Length: 14,024 Description: Gabe Murray is on a mission to deliver holiday cheer on behalf of a mysterious benefactor.  We'd tell you who it is, but that's confidential.

June Signature Feature: Spirit of Fire by Stellar

For some June is a month where it heats up, others it's a month of change... so this story is perfect! Then again, those are just a few tidbits on the surface, and if you've ever read a novel by Stellar, you know there's so much more underneath. Why not sink into this LONG story posted a few years ago? Length: 196,536 Description: With a life that is almost painfully normal and unremarkable, 16 year old Torsten has no reason to believe in anything out of the ordinary. Then, a ser

May Signature Author Feature: Calliope's Carousel by Parker Owens

This month I thought I'd feature something light with variety... like my weather today as I set up this blog which has been hail, rain, sun, rain, clouds, sun, rain, sun, sun, sun... seriously?! I hope you will enjoy @Parker Owens options a lot more!  Length: 2,774 Description: A collection of poems for NaPoWriMo 2024.

Enjoy this little tidbit and think about what might be coming out of YOUR woodwork.   Length: 3,121 Description: Dave Harrison is late for work, again. Turns out, that's by far the least of his worries. A Reader said: If you like creepy mixed with humor, 'Incy Wincy Spider,' is the story for you.
