Into the Wonk…
Yes, the Wonk, the state of Wonkiness, being out of kilter. Such is the case here at MEF. Why? Because we are butt-deep in literary shenanigans, that’s why. Three stories and a poem have been published in the last week! Acceptances (Yayyyyyy!!!!) and rejections (Booooo!!!!!) continue to ring the MEF gong. Madness! Tune into the MEF blog for all the latest:

Here in Vienna, summer is still hanging around. That means summer reading is still a thing. Need a book for the beach, the patio, the fire pit? Look no further, My Bodacious Readers! How about a post-apocalyptic thrill ride? The Best Dark Rain awaits you:
The Best Dark Rain: A Post Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love
Seattle is dead. Almost dead. Liz and Pat are the last couple standing. Survival is only half the battle. Living is hard, trusting is harder.
There is precious little room for love in a dead city, a dead world. For not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands stalk the streets. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O’Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.
