Summer 2024 Issue

Editor’s Note:

Sometimes love is right around the corner in your own hometown, and sometimes you have to go out into the world to discover it. In this issue of Spark, you’ll find romance on the road with stories that take you from Iceland to Spain and everywhere in between.

Featured author Nicole Deese will transport you to the beach for a destination wedding in her story The Hijacked Bouquet. And Alyssa Schwarz paints a vivid picture of a young woman who needs help with a sticky situation during a trip to Israel in her staff feature Matchmaker, Matchmaker.

Whether you like to travel by plane, train, automobile, or boat, there’s a story here for you. Get ready to go on twelve different journeys that all end in a happily ever after.
