If laughter is the best medicine, then reading humorous short stories should be the best practice to maintain your health. These three authors with their six stories have written stories that both poke fun at the sacrosanct and also skewer them for dissection as both pompous and ripe. From the ranks of Voltaire, Twain, and Vonnegut, these new voices have something to say about how our current culture and what they consider serious. You may find yourself irritated, incensed, or having a laugh outloud moment as you read along into the imaginative worlds these authors create. You may find yourself expecting to see someone just waiting in the shadows for you to get the punchline - expect that author's spirit as you read their works. PS. You have their permission to roll on the floor with delight, in private, of course... Get Your Copy Now.

Writers don't often write about their own worlds - but when they do, expect them to be every bit as imaginative as their other fiction. We've found a common theme in these six short stories. Where these new authors, not only explore their own thoughts, ideas, and angst through their own fiction, but also take apart their own ideas about how writers write. Here you'll see writer's block, the solitary writer's romances, the revenge of stalking stories, being transported by another writer into one of their worlds, and even examining the idea of your pet cat being responsible for a writer's output - or lack of it. Nothing is sacred to these authors as they turn their fiction microscope on themselves and their own profession. Get Your Copy Today.

Our Second Civil War was over in minutes - while the conflict took decades. As in all wars, both sides lost heavily and then proclaimed victory. I knew this all too well, serving as a paramedic to patch up their wounded and dying. I'd gotten myself into 'Cagga to solve my nightmares. After I'd sworn off coming back into the cities where the only real violence happened. She was in my dreams every night, and turned them into the same hell on earth she was experiencing. Because she only wanted to be rescued from a fate and destiny she could not control. In the old days, it was called human trafficking, but in our time it was called normal. Just because she was pretty, single, and defenseless. And once I found her, we'd only have until sundown... Get Your Copy Now.

You'd think that after a couple of thousand years, I'd be able to find my angel wings when I wanted them. Pretty hard to misplace, if you think about it at all. But when I woke up to go to work this morning, they weren't there. Not in my closet, not hanging on the bedpost, and certainly not on my shoulders where they always had been. Sure, I was always able to appear to humans without them. But just because they couldn't see them, didn't mean they were gone. Of course, that wasn't the bad part. Along with the wings, I'd lost all my ""magic"" powers. So I was basically stuck on earth like any other human. But, no, I wasn't going to test whether I was still bascially immortal. I'm not stupid, even if maybe forgetful. And there was something important I was supposed to remember. Something about saving the world - but of course, this was lost to me right now - too...
