Fiction

CG Walters presents Searching (for a Soul Mate) posted at Into the Mist, saying, “No longer confined to material experience, Katerina crossed into the dimly lit room, invisible to its inhabitants. She had never visited this world before, never laid eyes on this person, yet Katerina’s bond to the lean, gray-haired man seated at the wooden table was so intense and immediate that she barely managed to suppress the impulse to reach out and embrace him.”

Tali presents Novel excerpts: Lies - Novel Excerpts - Helium - by Tali posted at Helium - Where Knowledge Rules, saying, “It’s a short story in the works. (If you have any comments, please contact me at http://www.helium.com/user/show/342435)”

James K. Bashkin presents Kicked out of Cuba! “When crime fiction is a crime” by K Henkel: Fact and Fiction collide, with serious consequences. posted at Nearly nothing but novels, saying, “A non-fiction story about a fiction writer: I just came across this and, while I hope others were well aware of the situation already, this post will try to help publicize it.
