The posting of this year's Secret Author Contest will be delayed indefinitely due to Cia going through a tragic family emergency.  Please respect her privacy and do not reach out to her and ask questions at this time, especially about when the SA stories will be published.  We apologize for the delay, as we know this is a highly-anticipated event each year, but family matters take precedence, especially during a time like this.  Thank you for your attention and understanding.  Stay tuned for more updates as they become available. 

I thought it would be nice to feature some past Secret Author Contests, so decided to rewind back to 2016 and the Secret Admirer Contest.  @Cole Matthews story Jager was the winner this year, and if you read it, you will see why.  I will warn you - make sure you have plenty of tissues on hand.  This story has stuck with me over the past ten years, and it's easily one of my all-time favorite SA or anthology stories.  Check out all the stories and let the authors know how you liked them.
