Here you can experience the penguin life in January, read the Book of Madness in March, visit the Cryptid Conservation and Research Facility in October, and try to prove the old lady next door is a Mafia hitman before Thanksgiving. And that's just tip of the iceberg (yes, there's even an April story about the Titanic's fateful night). Featuring forty-three authors with unforgettable tales spanning all four seasons and five science fiction, fantasy, mystery, thriller, and humor. What Readers are "That was a fun fairytale romp with a dash of wit!" "This one had me grinning plenty of times and I so loved the ending!" "The puns had me smiling all the way through. A fun retelling of Snow White!" ~ comments on “The Fairest” by John Leatherman "Loved the mystery of the lake and the 80s references!" "The character voice is on point and the creepy camp vibes are amazing." ~ comments on “What Happens at the Lake” by Victoria Shanks
Authors
I worked as a teacher and in marketing before becoming an author in 1995. My goal was to create the stories I wanted to read as a child. Down East Books published my picture books A Loon Alone, A Cub Explores, A Moose’s Morning, and Lighthouse Seeds. Scholastic Children’s Press published my easy reader, Two Feet Up, Two Feet Down. My stories, poems, and plays for older children have appeared in such magazines as Cricket, Highlights for Children, and Jack and Jill. My first novel is The Pegasus Potential. It’s available through Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Pegasus-Potenti...) and Smashwords. My latest book is Brigid and the Butter: A Legend about Saint Brigid of Ireland, which was published by Pauline Books and Media.
