More Than A Ghost Story by Tami Canaday of CO
Dana and Jam are staying at Dana’s remote cabin on a snowy night and decide to share ghost stories as they wait for friends to arrive. As they delve into their tales including one about a real murder it becomes clear that one of them is hiding a dark secret. The secret draws real ghosts to the cabin turning their night into a chilling encounter with the supernatural.

Wake Up Calls by Gale Alexander of WY
Three generations of women separated by miles maintain connection through a daily ritual of morning phone calls. When a family crisis shifts the relational dynamics in their circle of three they are awakened to see that time brings change to bodies minds roles and priorities. Even phone technologies upgrade but the pure power of the human voice remains the lifeline we reach for in a crisis.
