The veil of secrecy is lifted…
The three editors of THE FIRST LINE picked one story from each of the issues for which they created a sentence (recall–TFL is a journal which gives a first line and then authors must finish the story) beginning with Vol 4 Issue 1 and ending with Vol 8 Issue 4. Then each picked a second story from Vol 6 Iss 1, Vol 8 Iss 1, and Vol 8 Iss 2 — the sentences that won The TFL First Line contests. As a result, THE BEST OF THE FIRST LINE: Editors’ Choice 2002 - 2006 was created. This collection of 23 stories will be released March 2008, as part of TFL’s tenth anniversary celebration.

M. M. De Voe’s story, “Dulce Domum” which previously received a Pushcart Nomination, has been selected for inclusion in this anthology. This marks the second “Editor’s Choice Award” for M. M. DeVoe. The first was for “Keep Watch” in the summer of 2007. Ask for THE BEST OF THE FIRST LINE: Editors’ Choice 2002 - 2006 in local bookstores that carry literary journals!
