Thank you to all who submitted stories for consideration for the Wild At Heart Anthology for the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. We were looking for stories that were suitable for all audiences and left us with a positive feeling of hope for the future. Those selected focused primarily on large-animal rescue and/or the dangers of keeping one as a pet. In order to keep the publication at an affordable length, we selected only 22 of the 36 stories.
The following stories were selected for the Anthology, giving us a pretty evenly balanced book with nearly 40K each of Adult and YA stories. Actual total is approximately 78,000 words.
