    Featured Story : Heart of the Tree by Graeme

    By wildone

    Wow, I'm being worked to the bone here 😮 2 blogs in 2 days  So when I heard one of our Review Team Members was heading down under, I thought I might take a stab at writing my first review for the Review Team. I need to warn you, I usually only copy and paste the amazing work the Team does.  So with @chris191070 in Australia, I thought I would review one of my favourite stories from there.        Heart of the Tree by Graeme   Reviewer: Wildone Status: Compl

Prompt Team Genre Event - *Now Live!*

Who's ready for some genre fun? For this year's Prompt Team Event, @Aditus and I challenged authors to step outside their comfort zone and write in a randomly-selected genre/subgenre.  @Myr and team have done a lot of work curating a list of genres/subgenres, so there was an extensive list to choose from! Eight authors took up the challenge and sent me stories to include in the event.  We have prompt stories ranging from Historical/Ancient Orient to Fantasy/Arcanepunk.  Without further ado, plea

December Signature Feature: Elias by Krista

One of GA's longest posting authors, no matter what kind of content you want to read, you'll probably find it in her author listing!

Here I am at nearly 3 AM but not tired  Just finished watching the last episode of my newest, favouritist, show on steaming streaming TV   Enough about that   I want to ask a different question this week, and one that might be difficult to answer  You only get to give 1 response and 1 answer.

Everyday Mishaps

Yesterday, I went to work forgetting the thermos with my Advent Calendar tea; no biggie, but it was an uncomfortable bus ride. Nothing to do with my hands, cold, and I noticed lots of people wrapped up in scarves, hats, and whatnot, even though it wasn’t that cold, which resulted in sweating humans. Eew.
