DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Writers can't not write. Goaded by dreams and thoughts, writers write because they'll simply burst if they don't. They have these urges to get it all out-from A to Z-from soup to nuts. They tackle those germs of thought, feeding and weeding and coaxing them to grow, perchance to blossom into something worthwhile-something beautiful-something that challenges or inspires. The 2014 San Diego Writers/Editors Guild anthology is a compilation of the various forms of the art. It is a bouquet of ideas-fantasy, whimsy, humor, and romance-often with a twist. Whether fact or fiction from seasoned and multi-published veterans or authors making their publishing debut, the contributors have drawn from the wells of their talent to share the memories pulled from life experience or the thoughts bumping around in their heads. They spun yarns. They told tales. They opened doors to the imagination-conjuring, questioning, and stirring. They glimpsed other worlds and they brought them to you. They did what they must. They wrote. (Marcia Buompensiero, Editor) We thank the muses of poetry who tickle and throttle. Their lofty to elemental snapshots of life entice us to ponder the infinite in the moment by amplifying the human spirit. We celebrate their inspiration and bring you their captured experiences from creative curious children-to seasoned citizens. (Simone Arias, Poetry Editor)

The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they're happy." Dorothy Parker New beginnings imply there were previous, possibly failed, attempts-other tries that just didn't "take." Some might say "new beginnings" is redundant. After all, aren't all beginnings new? And when is a new beginning begun? A challenge, indeed, if you are a writer. Whether a neophyte rower clearly out of your league, a washed up detective looking for that redeeming case, an ex-con questioning ones self-worth, a new bride with second thoughts, or somewhere/anywhere in between, our authors took the theme and spun it around, whipped it up, and turned it into something refreshing, stimulating, soul-wrenching, thought-provoking, or simply fun. We all may not share the same concept of what constitutes a new beginning and our experiences can be worlds and galaxies apart, but the one common thread that pulls us together is the passion to write and share inner-most thoughts and creativity. Some might even argue that the writer's desire is strong enough to overcome criticism and rejection. Others will say that sharing our talents and inner struggles is redemption all its own. But in the end, the baring of the soul in creative art forms becomes the end point, the greater goal. There are those writers, as Ms. Parker suggests, that might even be willing to take a bullet for it! Managing Editors: Marcia Buompensiero & Rivkah Sleeth Contributing Editors: Irene Flynn, Asst.

The year is 1883, and in New York City it's a time of dizzying splendor, crushing poverty, and tremendous change. With the gravity-defying Brooklyn Bridge nearly complete and the city in the grip of anti-vice crusader Anthony Comstock, Dr Anna Savard and her cousin, Sophie - both graduates of the Women's Medical School - treat the city's most vulnerable. Even when doing so puts all they've worked for in jeopardy . . . For Anna, her role as a surgeon has placed her in the path of four children who have lost everything. Faced with their helplessness, Anna must make the unexpected choice between holding on to the pain of her past and letting love into her life. For Sophie, an obstetrician and the orphaned daughter of free people of color, helping a desperate young mother forces her to grapple with her doctor's oath - and thrusts her and Anna into Comstock's orbit, a dangerous man who considers himself the enemy of everything indecent, and of anyone who dares to defy him. With its vivid depictions of old New York and its story of two pioneering female doctors, The Gilded Hour is a captivating, emotionally gripping novel of courage and love.

My poems cover a variety of topics and experiences: my youth, relationships, where I lived and hung out, our special San Diego natural worlds, and holidays.

Long ago cursed by the god of lies, a poor miller's daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue. Or so everyone believes. When one of Serilda's outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her... for a price. Love isn't meant to be part of the bargain. Soon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

Because Poppy is the Chosen, the Blessed. The true ruler of Atlantia. She carries the blood of the King of Gods within her. By right the crown and the kingdom are hers.

And they will stop at nothing to ensure that the crown never sits upon Poppy’s head.

And as shocking secrets and the harshest betrayals come to light, and enemies emerge to threaten everything Poppy and Casteel have fought for, they will discover just how far they are willing to go for their people—and each other. And now she will become Queen…
