We had 61 stories in the Collector this week with 4 Debuts. Please welcome Carolyn Brown, Not All There, Bryan Swan, and Elise VanCise to the community. The stories this week fall under 12 different genres, including two each in Cross-Genre, Experimental, Literary, and Paranormal. What a wonderfully diverse community we have!

Make sure you take a few minutes to read Habits, Happiness, and Heart by FFDO editor E.D. Johnson. Then join the conversation in the comments. And remember to keep the community news flowing through our weekly News Flash.

As always, if your story is not in the listing below please go to the Collector and add the details. It will be in next week’s report. ~Tim
