When I decided to do an anthology I wanted a theme, but one that hadn't been done before, one that would stretch us as writers. This is a collection of poems that represent our yearnings and experiences. We have looked inside for inspiration and outside at nature and everywhere in between; the church, the train, declining parents, art, history, design, and card games.
Poems by Karen Clausel, Diane Conrad, Victoria A. Harkovitch, Colette Jonopulos, Susan Kenyon, Laura LeHew, Catherine McGuire, Nancy Carol Moody, Sharon Lask Munson, Eileen Dawson Peterson, Judy G. Richardson, and Janice D. Rubin.

What can I say, I like vampire books. I've read them all, Tanya Huff, Charlene Harris, Laurel K. Hamilton, Mary Janice Davidson, and Stephenie Meyer (to name but a few). So when I read Colette's manuscript how could I not publish Enough of Daylight? Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Enough of Daylight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
