I love how Mike has arranged his picks for December to look like a Christmas tree.  Clever as all get out!

Hadn't dawned on me until you mentioned it - Duh!

Excellent selection of stories too. 

[Ashes and Embers by Wayne Grey]

The final chapter has just appeared at TSL.

As Trab said, is has been a great story, well written. I had expected it to end at a certain point some chapters ago and wondered why it was continuing. I now understand why and congratulate the author for deciding to take  it forward from there. 

 

["I do like to be beside the Seaside"]

England, May 1965.

Separately, and for different reasons, two boys - one fourteen and the other fifteen - decide to leave their homes.

This story follows what happens to them over the next few months .

[Z is for Zombie by Geron Kees]

Don't be put off by the title as this isn't really a zombie story! 

It is probably best described as a tale about the survival of a small group of teen kids in a post apocalyptic world which just happens to have zombies.

Give it a try -  don't think you'll be disappointed.

[Three Strikes and I'm Out by Ivor Slipper]

I have on occasions thought about writing a sequel, but it wasn't heading in that direction!

[No more Gay-Straight Alliance]

Can't say I've read many stories here about the Girl Scouts of America! ? 

Just be prepared!

[No more Gay-Straight Alliance]

I discovered this change of identity a coupe of months ago when checking facts for one of my stories.

Like Colin I consider the new name is not as good as the old one, but at least we authors can still refer to it as a GSA.   

[US Expenditure]

According to statistics, last year over 17 million American families

paid a lot of money for things that looked funny and didn't work.    

Seven million of these were antiques;   

the rest were college students.               

                                                               

 

[Tennis Anyone by Cole Parker]

Although Cole has stated this story was in response to a writing prompt at Iomfats, I don't think he made it clear that the prompt was actually a 'challenge' based on those two pictures. Thus there are several other stories available which were inspired by it. And, yes - one of them is mine.
