  1. I love the diversity in this journal. One of my favorites is the poem, The Woman Who Bound Her Pain to Her Bones; another was the short story, Lake in the Woods. But I can honestly say I found something to admire in every piece. Kudos to the editors for putting it together.

  2. We thank you for your praise which belongs to all the authors – yourself included for your fine selection entitled Shadows. It was a privilege to assemble this wide variety of literary gems. We hope more authors and posts will join our happy band at the Writers Guuld meetings next year on the third Sunday each month from March through October from 1pm to 3pm. Linda Donaldson.
