Pond 18 - 2016

Submissions are open
The 2nd Annual Poetry contest is now closed. The response this year was wonderful, far better than last year. Winners will be announced May 1st.

Just a reminder about the new Feedback form at the bottom of each featured author’s page who has requested it. I charge the author a small fee for this option, so please use it to send them any feedback you have, even if it’s a simple ‘Great Job’.

And be sure to check out the new images by Linda Eve Diamond in the Carpwork Gallery.

Enjoy!
- Ken

‘The Joy Of Living To Two Hundred’ by Ken Poyner is laugh-out-loud funny, R-rated, and made my day when I reviewed it. Before reading be sure to swallow your beverage.

AUTHOR PROFILE - William Quincy Belle

William Quincy Belle is out there, just like his stories that have appeared on StC. Skilled ‘out there’ is wonderful. Ready for more?
Ready, set, GO.

‘Unused Room’ by Scott Parson is a mini-thriller that’s part sci-fi, part horror, and maybe just shear madness.

It’s hard to say much about J.D. Hager’s ‘Lucky Me’ without giving it away. Suffice it to say there’s more there than meets the eye.

‘The Algebra of My Death’ by Ed McCafferty proves being an expert in Corrosion Science doesn’t mean you can’t also create thought-provoking poetry.
