There are Love Letters, but they capture only the feelings we have in the present. What about the ones we've loved but no longer do? What about the loves that have slipped away with time, distance, or circumstance—those that have faded or ended, leaving only memories and fragments behind?Loved Letters is a compilation of short stories that delve into the lives of those we once held dear. Each tale explores the echoes of love that remain long after it's gone, capturing the essence of past relationships—whether they were fleeting or lasting, joyful or painful. Through these stories, we explore the lingering feelings, the lessons learned, and the unresolved emotions that come with loving someone who is no longer in our lives. These are not love letters written in the heat of passion but rather reflections on love's quiet aftermath—the bittersweet recollections of those who shaped us and left an imprint on our hearts, even as they disappeared from our everyday existence.In Loved Letters, we give voice to the complexities of love and loss, from the nostalgia of what was to the acceptance of what is no longer. It's an exploration of how past loves continue to influence us, how they remain written in the margins of our lives, even when the pages have turned.Writers Sidekick Resource Hub gathered great literature by; Nancy Dick, Andres Fragoso, Jr., Niza Gonzalez, Wally Hawkins, Bronko Nagurski, Valerie, Runyan, Lauren Tallman, and Cliff Rocks.Cover by Wally Hawkins.

"e;In Art, a picture is worth a thousand words. In Literature, Authors write a thousand words to tell a single story."e;I had this idea of taking photos of American authors and exhibiting them across the country. I started photographing Las Vegas authors with absolutely no one's help. All on my own. The form and style of my photos are of my creation. I alone with no one's help have designed everything that has to do with this project, from taking the photographs to the layout of the Anthology, and the production and direction of the documentary. I wanted it to be unique and different.
