A happy lion-lamb March to everyone! Hopefully those who are interested in submitting entries for our fiction contest are working hard and will have their stories ready in time for the judging. And for those who have not yet heard about our spring fiction contest, please click here for the rules and the submission deadline.

Let’s bring on the spring warmth with some great poetry and prose, starting with this month’s first installment. We don’t normally like to draw attention to individual submissions, but we finally have a new entry in our Serial Fiction category: the first chapter of a horror piece called First Gate. If you’re into the horror genre, be sure to check it out!
