This week we did so many things -- our Featured Story was

which a few of you read and commented on. I'm really hoping the rest of you will take a chance and do the same, this one is really worth a look.

Sharon gave some great advice to authors, James suggested a book on writing, and we dregged up a Blast from our Past newsletters to make you laugh. Also, over the week, you had the chance to become aquainted with two of our newer stories, Ugly Davey by EmDee and Eye of the Tiger by John Doe. Finally, we were teased with writing prompts, and personally, I can't wait to see what they will bring next week.

Hope you enjoyed our first week as much as I did!
