What's love got to do with it? Everything, as appears in these intriguing short stories, flash fiction pieces, and poems by The Writing Journey. Love doesn't happen in just a few lines on a Valentine card. It can touch the heart when least expected. Strangers, sisters, mother and child, friends, and lovers grace these pages in ways as old as love itself and as new as a first embrace. It's all about love in its laughter and tears, mystery and hope, splendor and despair. Let the Writing Journey take you with them as they explore the many facets of love. Featuring works by: Barbara Bartilson, Kelly Duff, Elaine Fisher, Todd Hogan, Diana Jean, Debra Kollar, Karen Limbrick, Keshia Nowden, Mary O'Brien Glatz, Gwen Tolios, Annerose Walz, and Tim Yao. Edited by Diana Jean and Tim Yao. For other Writing Journey anthologies, see writingjourney.org/books.

Explore winding paths through snowy streets in a corrupt, fallen kingdom and everyday lives turned upside down by unexpected news. Soar in sleek airships above mystical rebellions in the Australian Outback and dive into the dangers of a tropical island on Earths which never were. Find out a loving mother's final words, what the IRS wants with an unorganized coffee shop owner, and what a love letter from a vampire is like. Fourteen fascinating stories await within this collection.
