    Do Not Stand By My Grave, I Am Not There by Tony Del Degan
    2025/06/11
    A nurse confronts the emotional and spiritual toll of his work in end of life care.

    Tony Del Degan is an author and screenwriter from Calgary, Canada. When he was a young boy, he was introduced to the world of fiction through films like Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, and was immediately captured by the desire to create imaginative worlds and stories of his own. Since elementary school, when he started creating books for the class library out of folded printer paper, his dream has never dimmed.

  • Closing Time by Robert Kibble

    Closing Time by Robert Kibble
    2025/05/21
    A tired traveler, stopping for a drink in a quiet country pub, discovers that sometimes loneliness — and the ghosts of the past — demand more than just conversation.

    Robert Kibble lives west of London with a wife and two cats, and a cornucopia of half-finished writing projects. A few have been published over the years, which – it has to be admitted – is very pleasing. If only a less creative day job wouldn’t keep getting in the way, he’s sure it would be more. You can find him at www.philosophicalleopard.com where you’ll find more short stories, links to his novels, and musings on why zeppelins don’t ply the skies.

    The Mango Tree by Arpad Nagy
    2025/05/14
    A city boy, lured by a strange girl and the promise of magical fruit, discovers that some rural secrets are far more dangerous — and far more ancient — than he could ever imagine.

    Arpad Nagy is a 51yr old, Hungarian Canadian, working husband and father, with a storyteller’s soul and a romantic’s heart, who, began his writing journey in 2021 after sustaining serious work injuries.

His fiction writing, nonfiction essays, and memoirs have achieved a measure of success, most recently shortlisted for the Northwind Writing Award in fiction and nonfiction, as well as being accepted as a feature author for Dragon Soul Press Winter Anthology. His work is published regularly at Medium.com.
