Well, you're getting a lot of me these next few weeks! I had a few features this week, I'm doing the Wrap Ups for a bit, and next week I'm doing a few more blogs too. Pay attention, there's a special event announcement coming this week. Speaking of special, did you catch the return of this week's featured Signature Author? 📣🎊Check out those posts below. 

We also need to thank @Valkyrie for ALL her hard work on the Poetry Anthology. She's the one who takes charge on those events, managing every aspect (it's a LOT!) That's wrapped up, so it felt appropriate to do it here. So, thank you so much to her, her proofing team, the poets, readers, and reviewers. We can't do events like the Anthologies and other special events without you! 

Monday was Bossy Nanny by Mrsgnomie. I scanned this story again to do the ad graphic, or intended to. Hours later, I hit The End, having done a full read. LOL

Tuesday Myr featured the Thriller/Suspense genre. Are you on the edge of your seat? 

Wednesday I found a tantalizing tidbit from the story that was probably about when I became hooked into a reread. How about you?

Thursday was the 2026 Poetry Anthology Wrap Up by Valkyrie, giving you all the deets on the event! 

So you've seen the Daily Blogs, but Myr also shared the Words of the Day:

secure, traverse, surge, vault, plunge, pursuit, sprint
