Mothers Day has come and gone. Fathers Day, which around here coincides with explosions of roses (we remain neutral on what that says about the relative merits of mothers and fathers), has also passed. You’d think that we’d be thanked out. That the old gratitude gauge would be resting on empty. But we are ready for more. We would like to propose Authors Day, so that we can thank all of the people who have contributed their work to The Stoneslide Corrective.

If you’ve only recently discovered Stoneslide, you may have missed some of the work we published earlier this year, and that would be a shame, for you and for the writers. So, here, in recognition of Authors Day, are three of the stories we published in our first weeks.

B. Clim’s “Red Mask” is an epic fantasy adventure and a portrait of a marriage built on secrets.

“Peddler,” by contributing editor Tia Creighton, could soften Jehova’s heart toward all the unloved varieties of Girl Scout Cookies.

Kerry McArdle Lee’s “Maui” is a glimpse of what love can look like over many decades.

Of course, we think it would be a good idea to work your way through our full Stories archive. But those three stories will make for a good start.

Happy Authors Day.
