September Signature Feature: In the Shadow of the Dragon by JamesSavik

Well... if you read this story, it has it all. Action, drama, heroes you love to see be heroic even if they don't see it, villains you love to hate, twists you don't see coming, and so much more. Written a decade or so ago, it hits even recent events in eerie ways, but I think you're all okay to read it. Please enjoy this month's feature, and make sure you leave likes, comments, and reviews!  Length: 80,099 Description: Five Colorado teens face the horrors of nuclear and biologic

August Signature Author Feature: Gone Fishing by Headstall

Well, August has nearly come and gone if you can believe it not. I chose this story by Headstall because as my summer comes to a close I felt a certain kinship with the description of shattered dreams. Where have all the days gone and all my plans to achieve ended...? How often do we ask ourselves that.... Length: 11,332 Description: This is a story of life, dreams, and timing. Anthony's life has come full circle as he retreats to his small home town on a northern Ontario river.

June Signature Feature: The Dawn of Day by Dolores Esteban

June and halfway through the year. I don't know about you, but I truly believe that entire ages have come and gone in 2023 so far. I thought this story, Dawn of Day by Dolores Esteban was intriguing when I read it in the past and so fits how I feel about June so far. What do you think?  Length: 40,080 Description: A gravitational wave sweeps the USS Explorer to the star system 55 Cancri. The crew detects a deserted alien airport on a planet in the habitable zone.

May Signature Author Feature: Zombies Like Us by Dodger

May came in like a scorcher here, and I felt like a vampire hiding from the wicked, evil sun (more than usual). In this story, Zombies Like Us, by Dodger one character doesn't even have to try when it comes to creating his costume... and he's got plans for a select few. I liked this short story shared in one of our anthologies back when I first read it, and I hope you'll like it now too!  Length: 10,930 Description: Jody doesn’t need to dress up for Halloween, he’s already a zomb

April Signature Author Excerpt: Shadow Honor by Cynus

Did you catch Monday's blog where I featured Cynus's story, Shadow Honor? This is one of my favorite genres, and I have to agree with @JeffreyL because I really like the way that @Cynus used the tattoo magic in the storyline. Have you read this story? Share your thoughts below if you didn't get the chance to share your love on Monday. If not, maybe this except will draw you in enough to make you go read (warning: You're going to want to have NOTHING else to do for a while!)  Want to read

April Signature Author Feature: Shadow Honor by Cynus

Okay, another long story feature and this one has themes of fantasy which we all know I love! If you haven't given this Signature Author's story, Shadow Honor by @Cynus, a shot, what have you been doing?? Better yet, it's part of a series! Full of political intrigue, magic, demons, and more.... there's a ton in store for intrepid readers!

March Signature Author Feature: If Memory Serves by Comicality

March is already half over, but that just means you need to take a break to read this little gem of Comicality's. It'll get you in the feels.  Length: 6,562 Description: Three years ago, Sawyer and Josh showed up to help build a park playground as a part of a mutual friend's Eagle Boy Scout project... and ended up sharing a moment that they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Now the hows and whys the character makes the choices that go on in the story? Maybe, or maybe not, but that's the beauty of getting to follow along with another's story, right?

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
