After winning the Florida Keys Flash Fiction Contest, Alexis Strong Caldwell is heading to Key West to finish her manuscript in Ernest Hemingway's studio. Alexis hopes she will find a creative vibe in the room where Hemingway produced some of his most famous work during the 1930s.

Calamity

Libbie Hawker

Fiction / Historical Fiction

Her name is synonymous with the West. Her celebrity has spread to the East Coast and California, traveling down the new-laid railroads and along the telegraph wire. But breathless tales of Calamity Jane bear little resemblance to the truth.
