Splickety Love 2.3

Summer is steaming up our August issue of Splickety Love as outdoor concerts, county fairs, and road trips bring couples together. Set against the backdrop of a lively carnival, featured author Amy Clipston shares with us a sweet story of firsts. Our staff feature, by Bonita Jewel, captures the romantic rhythm of a forgotten melody. From a muddy pig-wrestling contest to a glittering ballroom, we enter the world of reconnecting lovers, friends who can’t resist the pull of music and moonlight, and strangers sparked by fireworks when they least expect it. We invite you to grab a glass of lemonade and try to stay cool as you spend a bit of time diving into these short, sweet, and sizzling summer love stories.
