Hey, everyone. Today I want to share reviews of two short stories written by Jan Sikes. Though they are completely different genres, both are highly enjoyable. Brazos Wind: War-torn drifter, Jack McClean is left with nothing but bad memories, scars, and a restless soul. When he stumbles upon a burning homestead, and an unconscious woman,...

Hey everyone! Like with everything this year, I'm way behind in writing and posting reviews. I read In Search of McDoogle by Mae Clair shortly after its release date but didn't write or post my review until last week. I wanted to share it with you today.

Hey, everyone. We’re coming up on October, the time of the year when I think of ghosts and goblins, bright, full moons, and legends. Even a headless horseman. This week's WIP Wednesday is both a work in publication and a work in progress. Several years ago, when I did a First Friday Fiction post each... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a photo of a house that served as inspiration for a short story. I first wrote and published this piece several years ago as First Friday Fiction. The original post was all telling (and I do mean ALL). It was only around 350 words. I’ve learned... Continue Reading →

While I still love to read a well-written novel, I’ve enjoyed a few short stories this summer that are easily read in less than an... Continue Reading →
