Summer Solstice is upon us. As a friend of mine used to say, “Let’s all worship the Sun: Ra, Ra, Ra!” She was into Egyptian God humor. Summer is
time for picnics, barbecues, vacations, and relaxing in the warmth and sunshine. It is also a time to make new memories.
What are your favorite memories? What makes them special? There is often something timeless regarding our connections to the people, places, and things at the center of our most precious memories. They can touch a universal chord of what it means to be human. They can resonate with many others who may have had similar experiences and feelings. Part of the appeal of stories is seeing ourselves reflected in the characters. Memories can form the basis for some amazing stories.
As an added content bonus, we have been posting videos of our creative
contributors and columnists on The Story Beast YouTube Channel
(youtube.com/@storybeastepub). Here you will get a little of the inside story
of how and why they created their pieces, along with tips and nuggets of
advice. It is free and new videos are posted almost weekly.
The Story Beast is your e-pub and quarterly forum. We need your poems,
stories, and artwork, as well as articles. We also do our best to also bring you
interesting and fun Public Domain stories and poems. We envision The Story
Beast to be a place of connection and community. Please spread the word and
tell your friends about us. Let us know what you think and send your
contributed works to storybeasteditor@gmail.com.
A big mahalo and thank you to all of you who have submitted your words and
artwork to The Story Beast. Thank you for allowing us to share your creative
spark with others. The deadline for contributions for the next issue of The
Story Beast is August 1 for the September 2023 issue. Thanks for reading and

Alton, Is my story in this issue? I did not hear anything from you about it. Perhaps you sent something and with all of my eye issues, I missed it! Hope to send you something to consider for the September issue. Warm regards, Joan
