PARAGONS is an ebook anthology
of short stories celebrating life. 

It is available for free as a download,
with readers asked, but not bound,
to make an anonymous contribution
to the charity of their choice on their own.

Contributors have kept all copyrights,
granting Studio E one time publishing rights.  

Since this is such a time of horror and pain,
and if we're going to see that side of life,
we also have to take into account the art and beauty,
because we can't deny or ignore either one.

Studio E would like to thank the fourteen authors
who so generously gave of their time and talent
to make this project possible as an affirmation
of art and life, the pure joy of creating,
of giving in the trying face of adversity.

Because it says in The Talmud,
"Every blade of grass has its angel
that bends over it and whispers, 
'Grow, grow'...."

Wishing you the best of everything,
Carol and Jenny Givner
