"Life at Whisperwood (Retirement Home): Reminder from the Management
The management must insist that, for the benefit of all, nude sunbathing on the balconies is not permitted at any time. Management recognizes that nudity is, for some, a valid, even sacred, way of life, but because Whisperwood residents often entertain grandchildren and other guests, no one is to appear nude in any public area or in any area visible to others. Thank you."
—Eileen McIntire, The 90s' Club and the Hidden Staircase

"If this were an Agatha Christie or a Rex Stout story I'd send cryptic invitations to Margie's sisters, to their father, Angelo and his wife, Helen, to Jack and to some tame police detective I knew.

—Lynn Mann, Murder by Mushroom

But Kathryn’s balance betrayed her. As she tried to sit on the railing, she slipped away into the purple Florida shadows cast by the giant condo building."

"So this was the price, then, for biting a person; for not understanding the rules of a society you're not really a part of; for trusting your alpha to protect you; for protecting your territory: the death penalty. No trial, no jury, only judges and the sadness of ten quality days with the one you love, trust and would give your life for."
—Eric D. Goodman, "Out for a Walk," a short story published in The Baltimore Review

"Being sucessful no matter the endevor, takes patience. It's like waiting for water to turn hot to wash your hands, after using the restroom."
—Anthony Rene Brent, The Kelly Kappers
"They think there is enough room
between their two bodies
to imagine a daughter into existence
but the photographer has posed them so
the space between them is as thin as rice paper."
—Laura Shovan, From "Red Crayon"

—Allyson Leigh, From Genre of Desire
