Check out my interview with Myr, and make sure you share your thoughts in the comments.   Describe your perfect writing space. My perfect writing space is someplac

Secret Admirer Special Review

One year ago, the thirteen stories written for the Secret Admirer Contest posted in time for Valentine’s Day. Like the regular GA Anthologies, the contest let authors try their hand at short stories within a common theme.
