- Ellen Datlow

It's none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.

                ~ Ernest Hemingway

We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason why they write so little.
                        ~ Anne Lamott

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one.
                   ~ Baltasar Gracián

Nothing, not love, not greed, not passion or hatred, is stronger than a writer's need to change another writer's copy.
                        ~ Arthur Evans

Season of Sacrifice

by Tristi Pinkston

Using family history as her guide, Tristi writes a compelling true story of the colonization of Utah.

Sarah Williams is a young Welsh immigrant, coming to Utah to join her sister Mary Ann Perkins. When the Perkins are asked to join the San Juan mission to pioneer a trail through Southern Utah, they take Sarah along to help care for the children. But a six-week journey turns into six agonizing months of hard work and toil as the Saints blast their way through a cliff to bring their wagons through what would become the famous Utah landmark "Hole in the Rock."

Strength to Endure

by Tristi Pinkston

A historically rich tale, Strength To Endure expertly portrays the consequences of war and the ability of the human spirit to conquer all.

Anneliese Klein was just a small girl when Hitler came into power in her home country of Germany. Fear and uncertainty were as much as part of her childhood as dolls and tea parties. As she grew up, the war crept even closer to home, taking first her two brothers and then her father. Eventually it claims the man she loves. How will she survive these horrors? And what will become of her unborn child?

Nothing to Regret

by Tristi Pinkston

A story of prejudice and acceptance, dignity under the worst conditions, and the power of the Atonement to heal us all.

He is shocked to hear about the attack, but even more shocked when he discovers that all people of Japanese ancestry in the United States, especially those living on the West Coast, are now considered suspects in the attack. He and his parents are taken from their home and sent to a relocation center in the Utah Desert.
