★ Featured Writers
Colleen McManus Hein is a published author who describes herself as a ‘worker bee’ 🐝 !
In her story, ‘The Time We Saw the Northern Lights While Driving to New York’, she writes about the wonder of a very special childhood experience.
Our favourite quote from ‘The Time We Saw the Northern Lights …’
The sky was swirling. Red waves undulated into pink, then up and down the spectrum. It was as if a mystic hand was squeezing a daytime rainbow into the night.
Due to the children’s books I was reading at that age, I kind of expected miraculous events. Not at that particular moment, however.

Erohtar Isnam is a poet with a specialist interest in horror and fantasy … with a sidebar in politics! Her free-form poem, ‘New Home’, relates (with sensitivity and emotion) a devastating childhood experience.
Our favourite quote from ‘New Home’
Some of us still love the idea of a warm home, even as a past that’s so vague and messy. Others fear the warmth, we find in far corners of the world. Isn’t that just the nature of a human, to fear every single flame that resembles the fire that burned their childhood?

Susi Moore is a published author, former English teacher, and Creative Writing instructor. She owns and runs both The Scriber’s Nook and MuserScribe. In her fictional story, ‘Arise, Mika!’ we learn of a seven-year-old South African boy, who, to the frustration of his father, is obsessed with the lore around the Knights of the Round Table and their horses. How do father and son reconcile over such flights of fancy?
Our favourite quote from ‘Arise Mika!’
‘Papa,’ Mika would say. ‘I know about Biko. I know about Mandela. You have told me so much about them. I know they were very fine men. But, when they were young boys, they must have had dreams too? Just imagine, Papa, being a noble knight in a brotherhood of knights. That would be a very fine thing! Imagine riding a war horse into battle! Imagine Biko or Mandela riding Arab stallions, with all their knights behind them … what a sight that would have been!’
