In 2023, fires raged across multiple continents, fuelled by the accelerating changes to the world's climate. Little Blue Marble's anthology of speculative climate fiction and poetry from an international slate of authors collects the magazine's year of works of activism and hope for the future into a call for action to reverse the climate crisis. It's not too late to change course to save lives and ecosystems.

This is the true life story of a small boy who was born in to a world of wonderment with a poor beginning. His life's journey is revealing of the nature of Raleigh Wade as a product of his environment. Coning his way up from shabby bars to fancy ballrooms--with his wit, down home humor, and as a master manipulator he played life for all it was worth. Fascinated with his ability to read and manipulate human nature, he made a sizeable profit. With old slick coins a bottle in one hand and a woman in the other - he lived the good life for almost forty years. But in the end to much booze and seeing him-self for what he really was took him down. I now polish and hone my words, no longer as a weapon, but in hopes of helping others.
