From the Author:

Janet Lane

Her Mistwillow tale, It's About Time, about the exhumation of a time capsule, is the first short story Janet has submitted for publication. She enjoys hearing from readers at janet@janetlane.net.

Cindi Myers

Her story, Amy's World, tells of a long-ago gift that helps heal the wounds of war.

Jeff Shelby

Jeff's story, Sparring Partner, was written because he thought Mistwillow sounded like such a happy place, he wondered if it might not be the ultimate destination for everyone.

Charlie Callaway

After seeing a shopping cart on its side at a bus stop, Charlie's mind went on a tangent and didn't stop until he finished writing his story, Full Circle ,

Sally H. Clark

Sally loves the inquisitiveness of children as well as their ability to believe in the unbelievable. Mistwillow's historical beginnings provided the perfect mystery for her story, Jilly and the Ghost.

Liz Hill

Liz's story, Mistwillow Days, grew from her own memories of New York City and her homesickness for the Rockies.

Jedeane Macdonald

Set in 1944, Jedeane's story, Bingo!, relates the first day on the job for Mistwillow's new woman fire chief.

Lauren Patten

Given innumerable possibilities, Lauren chose to tap into her pottery background to write Kilning Spree, a tale that explores some seedier aspects of Mistwillow's art community.

Anne Wilcox

In Death Lessons, her first published story, a young girl learns to cope with pervasive death in 1918.

Terry Wright

Terry's story, Return Me to Mistwillow, is based around an 1882 earthquake, the largest in Colorado history, and reunites the characters a century later.

Suzanne Young

Her story, Mistwillow Crime Wave, gave Suzanne a chance to write fictitiously, and with a little twist, about a phenomenon that plagues police departments everywhere--people who confess to crimes they didn't commit.
