Story, Poem and Inspiration Point of the Week

This week saw the launch party for the publication of Ex - Laurie Avadis' stunning debut novel which started here on ABCTales and was snapped up by Unbound. It's now available on Amazon and if you can leave a review it would be wonderfully helpful. We're currently on the lookout for others to follow in his footsteps, so if you have any suggestions please send them to us!

Two blistering pieces for you today:

Poem of the Week goes to Accidentallyexisting for Running in the Rain - it's a recommendation from an editor who says: 'I love it because it builds such a sense of elated momentum throughout, and has a great yearning for freedom, and all for the simple joy of the actual activity of running in the rain.'

Story of the Week is VeraClark's The Gift, a beautifully crafted piece of life writing which seems to have struck a chord with many of us. Congratulations to both!
