New Stories, New Magazine!

Hello again! While beautiful weather, softball and other outdoor activities are claiming a lot of my time these days, I nevertheless have been finding plenty of time as well as inspiration for my writing. Several new short stories are either in mind or in the works. A couple of new romance stories for Romance Magazine as well pieces for eFiction Magazine are coming up in the next few of months. But the big news for June is a new story being published in a new magazine. Paradox Ethereal Magazine is a free online publication exploring art, culture, romance and all things beautiful. It is an interesting, intriguing, well conceived and beautifully presented publication, available monthly for free download in either html or pdf formats. I have a short story in June's issue, which is slated to hit the internet about Monday, June 1st. I have included a direct link below. I hope you enjoy this offering as well as the entire magazine. Please be sure to leave comments here, as well as for the editors letting them know what you think. I am looking forward to a long association with Paradox Ethereal Magazine as well as continuing to publish stories in Romance and eFiction Magazine. As always, I will continue to keep you posted on new releases right here.
Thanks for your continued support and comments. Look for a new short story as well as new poetry published right here. See you on the softball fields and at the Mariners/Tampa Bay games this weekend!
Peace,
BJ

Monday February 2 A Month Of Love from BJ Neblett

Enjoy. Then click the link on the right to my writer's blog for this week's love story!

Sometimes, dreams come true...

Maybe it's intuition/

But some things you just don't question/

Like in your eyes I see my future in an instant/

And there it goes I think I found my best friend

The Gift

BJ Neblett

Once I was a lover

Through youthful eyes I saw

The world a brightly wrapped package

Each dawn Christmas day

My heart I sent before me

Its glow lit my path

The girls who did abide me

I loved them everyone

With poems wise and tender

With songs both sweet and sad

My love boxed gay and brightly

A gift of the pilgrim soul

Many a heart would tarry

Many a breast would sing

Each gentle touch a promise

And every kiss a lie

Each moon would enrapture

Each sun revealed the truth

The package prized and desired

The gift inside ignored

And so my soul did wander

Cold years marked my path

Unopened and unwanted

My gift inside to die

Love’s song but a memory

Heart’s glow a flickering light

Through dimming eyes I saw you

A rose against the snow

My gift all but forgotten

The wrappings torn and brown

You took the love within me

Unquestioned for your own

Thanks. Please be sure to like, link, comment and share the love. You'll find this week's love story by clicking the link to my writer's blog on the right.
