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:
My Quote For the Day: “Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.” Brian Eno, Music producer
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.

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.

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.
Lexa Cain says
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! 🙂
Samantha Dunaway Bryant says
I just got my copy of Chronology and can't wait to get started reading it!
Michelle Wallace says
The Thera-Suit… what a great invention!
I love my flash fiction and short stories.
Congrats to Tara!
DEZMOND says
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….
M Pax says
The suit is cool. I've used suits in several stories I've written.
Congrats to Tara!
Pat Hatt says
That is awesome he can now have help to walk indeed. Congrats Tara!

Congrats to Tara! I wish I was good at writing short fiction, but my brain is just set on writing novels lately.
Medeia Sharif says
Congrats, Tara. Looks like a wonderful collection. I write short stories once in a while. I'd like to write more.
Birgit says

dolorah says
I love short stories, especially horror. I bought the book.
Nice to see that some space technology can help people here on earth.
Tyrean Martinson says
That's great news!!!
Congrat to Tara for her story!
And, I know you've probably received it before, but I have a Very Inspiring Blogger Award for you today! http://tyreanswritingspot.blogspot.com/2015/02/wow-very-inspiring-blogger-award.html
Loni Townsend says
Hooray for Georgie! That's great.
Chronology looks like a fun anthology.
Heather Holden says
Aw, what great, inspiring news about Georgie!
And wow, love the sound of Chronology. "The Comeback" in particular sounds so wonderfully eerie!
J Lenni Dorner says
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. 🙂
Tara Tyler R says
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!
