Love.
For some, love is the reason they get up each day and take life by the horns. The knowledge that someone out there is made just for them inspires greatness each day. For others, it is another four-letter word that brings forth bad memories and bouts of sadness. The past chases and plagues them.

Life...
it is a never ending series of learning experiences of the heart and soul. All who love are lucky because they are given an opportunity to learn not only about themselves but also about others through gain and loss. No relationship is perfect and not all last, but they all mean something and are worth it, if even for just one fleeting moment of joy.

Often...
not getting what you want opens your heart to what is waiting for you on the other side of the lessons. Within these pages, tweleve brave souls open up their hearts and share their experiences so that others might learn that it is not the end of a relationship that defines you, but what you learn from that end.

Sometimes...
not getting what you want can be the best thing for you.

A few teasers from the anthology for you to enjoy :)





MEET THE AUTHORS:

C.L. Foster
 CL is eclectic, geeky, positive, nature-loving and completely non-"normal" (just the way she likes to be). She has been a fan of literature since she was a small child and finally decided to take her dreams (both waking and sleeping!) and do something positive with them.

CL has lived all over the world and has a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, minoring in Psychology and Forensics. Which means you don't want to cross her because she knows how and where to hide a body so it's never found! She proudly admits to hearing voices in her head, but at times, her characters' impromptu visits can be rude and annoying. Thankfully, she has adequate patience for their shenanigans and can out ninja them any day of the week.

You can find everything you need to know (stalker links, pictures, signings, and other delicious tidbits) at CL's website http://www.authorclfoster.com/

  
E.R. Rada

E.R. Rada is a NY native who's mind is in a constant battle with reality and fiction. He's been penning his tales while expressing his inner most demons and heartfelt wishes since he was able to rhyme.

Poetry and fantasy are his weapons of choice as his inner-most wish to be a dragon-riding, sword-wielding warrior has yet to come to fruition. E.R. knows there is no time limit on greatness, so he continues to float on his constant state of flux; learning, growing, and improving as time goes on.

E.R. is a battle worn soldier who will quickly compare apples and oranges, simply because he's told he can't. Never one to conform, he embraces his nerdy/geek tendencies and is well known for creating new and interesting ways to do things (see: stubborn/the hard way). In doing things his own way, he has earned his way through life with plenty of battle scars, knowledge, and memories.

You can find E.R. on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ERRada72


David Roraff

David, also known as Dave, Grunge, or even Wynter, is a chaotic mess that has a particular knack for the written word and getting into people's heads. Trespassing aside, he currently works two jobs, is father to two wonderful kids, and has multiple projects on the burner, stirred frequently.

This winter-loving poet and author lives in the land of cheese, beer, brats and lawless weather that is Wisconsin. He has only recently forayed into the world of writing as a true passion. Like madness, gravity, or a neglected '67 Shelby, it took this joker a little shove to get him started, but hopefully the push will maintain this knight's strength and words to keep him going for years to come.

A criminal justice major by trade and a mathematical-minded, role-playing, music and movie-fanatic, David is hard to pin to a particular genre or style. Then again, that might be part of his charm.
