Cheers to another year! We made it to 2026 and we’re kicking it off with another great issue. Dawn Major gets us started with her interview of January’s Featured Author, J. M. White. If you’re a fan of William Gay and his writing, you don’t want to miss it - and if you aren’t a fan yet, you will be! As always, there are books to add to your reading list, authors you’ll want to follow and the fantastic monthly contributions from WR’s team of co-editors: CLAIRE CONSIDERS Two Novels that Offer Readers a Grand Good Time – Claire Hamner Matturro reviews Chasing Stardust by Erica Lucke Dean and Happy People Don’t Live Here by Amber Sparks, Susan Zurenda shares the space at THE WRITER’S EYE with guest author Jeffrey Blount, Ray shares his New Year’s Resolutions at OFF THE PAGE WITH RAYMOND ATKINS, Robert Gwaltney & Jeffrey Dale Lofton introduce Donna Everhart at INSIDE VOICES, and Ann shares another powerful story at MOUNTAIN MAGIC with Ann Hite. Congratulations to Catherine Shields, Deborah Z Adams, B. A. Brittingh
