1: Heroes by Don Lockwood Almost everybody knows who Don Lockwood is and have read his Dance of a Lifetime. He is one of those authors that write REALLY sweet stories. I like Heroes because it is not that sweet.
2: Lucky Tickets by JiMC The story that got me hooked into the MC genre in the first place. The sequel Lucky Stiff is equally great. In fact all of JiMC's stories are.
3: A Most Unusual Haunting by D A Porter I really like the premise in this story. It is a bit different from the regular lovey-dovey story.
5: Winning Numbers by Lazlong I really like this story. If I won big at the lottery I would probably do the same thing as main character. In my opinion Lazlong is one of the best short story writers on SOL.
