Living Springs Publishers has the honor of presenting a collection of 15 outstanding stories by authors who were born 1966 or earlier. Excessively Repetitive: Peter Hankins has crafted a marvelously inventive, yet entirely plausible future where people live forever. The question turns out to be-is it an improvement over life as we know it? Officers of Adaptation to Climate Change: Dean Gessie has crafted a marvelous love story set amidst the dysfunctional hysterics and tragedies of a modern family. This is an emotional roller coaster ride that takes place while scattering mom's ashes in a, to be kind, unique ceremony. Southern Comfort: Nedra Rogers, has crafted a wonderful tale of a 'Yankee' boy (from Kansas) who transfers to a school in Texas.

No One Will Notice: Brian Kelly gives us the story of a ten-year-old boy who experiences life through the antics of his grandfather, a veteran of the first world war and a loveable but gruff character. Their lives are dominated by the wait, then arrival of a 'wee thing from the Embassy catalogue.' Moon River: Why does Al Warren's Aunt Louise say her dead husband is still in her house? In Dan Lawrence's affecting tale, several events in young Al's life force him to grapple with the mysteries of the unknown, until a firsthand experience of life and death makes those mysteries his own. Virgie's Headless Chicken: This is a story that makes you ask, 'Can this possibly be true?" and it's just weird enough that it probably is. Robin Lee Lovelace writes a wonderful story about life in 1946 on Aunt Molly's farm. The Story of Isadore Blum: David Margolis' story of a doctor in the year 2070 who reflects on his experience during the Pandemic of 2020.

Who is to say? White Water and Wetsuits: A trip down the river with Aunty G and a group of Japanese tourists sets the stage for a hilarious journey. Lorrie Morales has written a pleasurable tale with plenty of laughs-yet a memorial for a lovely lady.
