Today's fitting feature piece is "Bubbles Big and Bubbles Small" by Scott McQuarrie. Scott McQuarrie is not an author—to be an author, you must have a published book, and while he has written a book, it is not yet published. If you are a literary agent looking for upper middle-grade fantasy, Scott would like to talk to you about an as yet undiscovered gem of a manuscript.

Today's feature piece is "The Lion's Roar" by Graeme Beamiss. Graeme Beamiss was born in Melbourne, Australia, and grew up in BC, Canada; drawing and painting have been constant companions through this and many subsequent shifts. It is a means of meditation, exploration and expression. Graeme finds inspiration in philosophy, psychology, esoteric and occult mythology and artists like Gustave Doré, Stanislav Szukalski and William Blake. Graeme aspires to create art that inspires others to look more deeply into the connection between the inner and outer worlds.
