Spring 2025 Issue

Editor’s Note:

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard…the members of our military deserve our thanks—and a chance at love. This issue of Spark Flash Fiction holds some truly heroic stories of current and former service members finding their happily ever afters.

Featured author Lisa Phillips delivers an ex-military hero literally falling for a girl from his past in her story, Alaska Incoming. And Laurie Ingram Sibley’s staff feature, Love at First Sight, will have your heart melting at a homecoming with a twist.

These soldiers, sailors, and pilots might face danger every day, but you’ll have to read their stories to find out if they can embrace love with the same courage.
