Foxtales is the annual publication of the Fox Valley Writers' Group, highlighting the prose and poetry of our individual members. It also celebrates the year-long process of craft, positive peer review, and thoughtful revision, which align with the main goals of our group. In this fourth edition, seven diverse authors invite you the reader to experience their visions of worlds both real and fantastic, light-hearted and dark, beautiful and ugly. This collection does not conform to a specific category, but rather represents the artistic state of us.
