Good News and Hat’s Off Corner Welcomes Tara Tyler

By

Good News

Georgie Craig has a rare disability that affects his ability to walk. But with this Thera-Suit he’s able to take some very important 3-year-old steps on his own. This suit was designed to help astronauts regain muscle strength after long periods in space. Now it helps right here on old Mother Earth.

Hat’s Off Corner Welcomes Tara  Tyler

I’m so excited to be here at Lee’s! When Lee visited me, she mentioned she doesn’t particularly care to write short stories. But I’m just the opposite! That’s how I got started, with poetry, flash fiction, and short stories. I love getting a good prompt and popping out a little ditty! It’s details I need to work on.

And speaking of short stories, I’d like to present an anthology put together by my publisher…

Welcome to a hidden world of wonder, wiles, and weirdness. CHRONOLOGY by Curiosity Quills is a collection of riveting short stories sure to keep you up at night for more reasons than one. Twenty-four to be exact! There’s fantasy, magic, sci fi, paranormal, historical, humor, romance, superheroes, and more!

My story is THE COMEBACK – A tragic teenage love story, but death won’t keep them apart.

Here’s where you can find CHRONOLOGY:

I’m also hosting a giveaway this month! Haven’t done one in a while, so it’s about time! (Get it? Chronology? Time?)

What’s our view of the future? Helping kids walk on earth while we learn how to walk on other planets, in other galaxies? Doesn’t Tara’s new adventure look exciting? Hope you’ll stop in at Amazon and get your copy.

  9. Oh my gosh, that picture is definitely worth a thousand words. The joy is contagious. What a wonderful story.

    And yay, Tara!! That anthology is sure to be awesome.

  10. So happy for Georgie that he has access to this new technology. Tara's latest adventure sounds great. How awesome that she love to write short stories so much. 🙂 Best of luck to her!

  14. Wow! Thanks again y'all! I'm so excited to hear your enthusiasm and compliments about Chronology – the authors are fantastic. And Crystal Collier did a thorough review giving a few words about each story.
    This has been wonderful, Lee!

  17. It's amazing what technology can do. I believe in the next 20 years, they'll be able to restore people's ability to walk, see, hear, cure cancer…any number of things.

  18. Congrats to Tara on the publication of her short story! That cover is amazing. It certainly is good news that the billions spent on space travel and research lead to inventions that can help mankind in the here and now. (Love my microwave! lol) Have a great weekend and Valentine's Day, Lee! 🙂

  21. can't imagine how much that Therasuit will cost…. makes you think how there are so many kids and people around the world who can't even get a wooden leg if they're missing one, let alone those space legs that legless sprinters use for running…. And while some are going up to Mars and other planets, other still have mud in their streets or donkeys to travel on….

  24. Sounds like lots of good things are going on here!

    Congrats to Tara! I wish I was good at writing short fiction, but my brain is just set on writing novels lately.

  31. I'm loving the cover! Seriously, wow!
    And that is fantastic that NASA tech has once again improved life here on Earth. People sometimes forget how much we've learned and gained by sending people to space. It gave scientists a reason to think in new ways, VERY out of the box, and has resulted in many achievements. Helping a child to walk instead of being in a wheelchair? That's worth every tax dollar ever spent. 🙂

  32. Thanks to you all! And I'm even happier to share the spotlight with Georgie – what an inspiring and amazing story. I <3 technology!

    Thanks again for having me, Lee!

  37. It's the first time I see your trailer of Alligators Overhead. Dragon liked it! I have heard of such suits before. It is good that they also do something useful for people here on Earth. So cool.
    Congratulations to Tara!

  42. That is an awesome good news story. I love reading those kinds of stories and on FB follow a few kids with disabilities to see them overcome obstacles on their journey. It's inspiring.

  43. The good news story about Georgie gets me right in the feels. It's wonderful to see technology bring such joy.

    And Tara's story souds riveting. I'll have to check the anthology out.

  47. Congratulations on the anthology, Tara! It sounds riveting!
    I hope our future continues to move toward even greater achievements. I love the story you shared, Lee. His parents must be overjoyed.
