All’s Fair in Love & War by Amber Simmons

Tales from Love & War, Texas 

Gracey Daylittle is an empathic pie maker with a unique kind of magic.  Ever since she and her sister found the Prime of Darkness lying unconscious on the side of the road, their lives —and their town— haven’t been the same.

Marco Flores is an eight year old with a curious menagerie of friends and an eerie connection to the spirit world.

Lilac & Lakmei Applewhite, a disturbingly similar pair, have moved to town to rebuild the burned-down, historic church.  The flickering light coming from their office window never seems to go out.

Like folks in any small town, their lives touch and intersect in innocuous but often profound ways.

These are a few residents of the quiet, west Texas town of Love & War.  And these are their stories.


An ongoing series, with new episodes weekly

Editor’s First Impression

Writing looks solid in the one piece that I read.  The use of the map to find stories about a particular character or place is interesting.  Worth a second look.

Innovative and fun

Am enjoying this so far.  I was excited to see a new story from Amber Simmons, as I loved her A Timely Raven.  I have not yet found the posted vignettes to be as gripping as Raven’s (a tall order, perhaps?), but the characters are interesting, the writing is solid and the site is innovative and fun to poke around.  Will keeping checking back to see how things develop.
