It was fun for me to get a sample writing from each of the contributors. This project came about from an author's workshop held at Foxleaf Bookstore in Cookeville, TN. Our facilitator, Troy D. Smith, challenged each of us to climb outside of our comfort zone and write from the heart. When I read the entries, I wanted to rush out and buy more works by these talented writers and poets.
