February Signature Author Feature: So Weeps the Willow by Cole Matthews

I went another route, tugging at the heart strings again with this read. Plus the visual was just too good to pass up! If you're stuck inside due to yucky weather, why not try this super long read of Cole Matthew's!  Length: 104,569 Description: Jake is having a rough time.  His career's at a dead end.  His love life is a disaster.  His mother is a mess.  Finally, he decides to turn things around.  This is his story.  A reader said: Brilliantly crafted, full o

January Signature Author Feature: Insomnia by CassieQ

I might be known for burning the candle at both ends, and I often feel the ill-effects of insomnia, so I loved this take by @CassieQ on the topic several years ago. For some people, insomnia means not getting to sleep, or not staying asleep, but we've all had moments where our minds played tricks on us after a long night, much less day after day of long nights. I hope you will like taking a look back at the creative take on the theme. So... what keeps you up at night? Length: 23,332

December Signature Feature: Melvyn Ford by Carlos Hazday

Nostalgia, family, and the many generations coming together is often a theme around the holidays. I didn't want to feature another holiday story right now, though, since I'm sure readers can find plenty of those to enjoy! I wanted to bring those themes forward that are so common in a new way, so I searched and found this great short story by Carlos Hazday that pays homage to... the family car.  Length: 3,249 Description:  A 1929 Ford Model A Tudor, bought at the start of the Grea

November Signature Feature: Dreams Can Come True by CarlHoliday

Ah, November. The longest and shortest month... As far as seasonal changes go, the weather seems to settle in for a hearty change, and you're either stuck in rain, snow, or heat for days on end... yet that can suddenly change. Or maybe that's just my neck of the woods, world, whatever? The holidays are also coming but aren't here yet, but in a second they will be and you won't be prepared! Sometimes I feel like I'm endlessly chasing some goal or dream, wondering if I will ever get there, much li

October Signature Feature: Let the Music Play by CJames

Sometimes it feels like life is just a grind, with no way things will change, much less for the better. This time of year can feel that way, right? Before the holidays really hit it off, when we're all feeling the drag of our routines... just like Brandon before he got an unexpected turn in his journey. I admit, looking for a good visual inspiration sucked me back into this story and I couldn't stop reading until late, or early, depending on how you look at it. CJames never disappoints, so give
