The title of the anthology is taken from the Skyline Drive, the parkway skipping along the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and providing centering for the region to which the authors showcased here are connected. The first four editions followed the seasons in cover image and Skyline contest themes. The theme for the fifth edition and 2017's annual Skyline writing contest, was "nighttime on the mountain." This edition's contest theme is "winter holidays."Other than the 2019 Skyline contest theme, there is no set theme for the other short stories, poems, and essays in this anthology, the content of which also includes pieces by the judges, editors, and publisher of Skyline, and selected award-winning pieces in regional contests in 2018 and 2019. Each of these works can be discovered and appreciated on its own context and merits. As with earlier Skyline editions, eclecticism is the hallmark word for this collection. A third of the works found here won or placed in various Virginia regional and statewide writing contests in 2018 and 2019. The foundation for the juried contest selections combine the 2019 Skyline writing contest and selected placers in the 2018 and 2019 contest of the Blue Ridge Writers (BWR) club. Selected contest-placing works from the 2019 poetry awards of the Poetry Society of Virginia; a second-placed poem in the 2019 Writer's Eye contest, sponsored by the Fralin Museum of the University of Virginia; and a 2018 Jefferson Madison Regional Library/WriterHouse prize-winning poem are published here as well.The anthology is made up of thirty-six works by twelve authors, presented in three sections: fiction (ten short stories), poetry (nineteen poems), and nonfiction (seven essays).

Skyline 2017, the fourth in a series of annual publisher's anthologies produced by Cyberworld Publishing, showcases the prose and poetry talents of Central Virginia writers.

Thus far the editions have followed the seasons in cover image, with this being the summer edition. Other than the Skyline Summer contest works, there is no overarching theme for the short stories, poems, and essays in this anthology, so each can be discovered and appreciated on its own context and merits.

An inspirational guide to lateral thinking when writing family and personal histories.Whether or not there's a heaven or a hell, people will live on in the memories of those they've left behind.On that premise, along with the belief that we all have life stories, philosophies, and influences simply by "having been," to pass on down to later generations-that we don't have to have been celebrities-Gary Kessler offers up a collection of vignettes on his somewhat unusual and adventuresome life and the events that influenced that life.Most of the vignettes, in the form of essays, short stories, and poems, in this collection were entries in writing contests and/or published in anthologies. Others have been added to fill in holes on life-influencing events. The purpose of Of Me I Muse is both to pass on a slice of "who we were/what influenced us" from two generations before the author-to the extent they could be captured and preserved in the eleventh hour of losing them-and an encouragement to others to record in some fashion, the major points of their lives before letting them be lost to help keep themselves alive in the minds of their descendants. You don't have to have been a celebrity to play.

Despite having traveled all over the world in the last fifty years, with extended residences in Japan, Thailand, and Cyprus, the author of this anthology kept coming back, in person and imagination, to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He met his wife in Charlottesville, where they both attended the University of Virginia, and then, although drifting off in foreign service assignments with the U.S. government, the couple didn't leave central Virginia before buying their own slice of paradise in the Piedmont foothills of the Blue Ridge and returning to the region again and again until finally retiring there. The twenty-six stories in this collection, written over a fifteen-year period, are all set within sight of this range of mountains, located on either side of the mountain chain, and extending from Front Royal in the north to Roanoke in the south. Most have won or placed in regional prose contests or are extracted from published anthologies. All were written with the presence of the Blue Ridge Mountains very much in mind.

Skyline 2016, the third in a series of annual publisher's anthologies produced by Cyberworld Publishing, showcases the prose and poetry talents of Central Virginia writers.

Also included in the anthology are other works selected from the portfolios of these contest selectees, and special contributor works by established writers in the region.
