April Anthology One - our first publication of all winning, second place and highly commended shimmering shorts and lustrous longs is due for release this week.

Our Cherished Children's Anthology will be published and released later in the year.

Audio recordings coming soon.

Many thanks to everyone that took part.

If your story has not been selected this time, please do not despair, we still enjoyed reading your work but we have a limit on how much we can include in one publication---we received just so many wonderful pieces of writing. Please pick up your pen/typewriter/laptop/quill and ink and enter again---all proceeds go to charity and story writing is great for the soul!
