    About this ebook

    Welcome to the Lake Morgan Book Festival! 

    Each year, Mr. Denton McCray and his eclectic team of volunteers hosts the most anticipated, and the most mysterious, book fest in a cozy, lakeside community near the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Though many accounts have highlighted strange occurrences, readers are drawn to the book fest each year by the hundreds, and authors are thrilled to receive a hand-delivered invitation to participate. 

    The season is autumn. The day is overcast. There's an electric crackle in the air that foreshadows the arrival of approaching storms. Tops of trees sway under the weight of winds that bear more than the threat of rain. The book fest takes place in an old building that once served as a high school. It has been decades since students roamed the halls ... living students, that is. 

    The Lake Morgan Book Fest opens at 6 PM and runs until midnight. So, grab a cup of hot tea, and dive in! 

    Within these pages, readers will discover just how weird the Lake Morgan Book Fest can get. Tales of time travel, science fiction, paranormal, speculative fiction, urban fantasy, comedy, and even a little romance await discovery! 

    This collection of short stories is a part of the "It Happened at the Book Fest" anthology set. Find out more at the project website: http://11authors.wix.com/bookfest

      Mar 22, 2022

      In the 1980s, I worked across the hall from Analyn, who quickly became one of my best friends. One morning, she came in with a new magazine. We were enthralled with the cover, pictures, stories, and perfectly lovely name: Victoria. It was a respite i

      When you really live, and when you really tackle that life in your art, the pages never quite end. The narration might drop out, but the story is still in motion. If done right, the border blurs, the boundaries of life and of art fade into each other
