Welcome!
Happy New Year! It's shaping up to be a good one, with several stories submitted already.
(Authors, keep them coming! You've got a growing audience for your work right here!)
This month you get the final installment of Greg Camp's Windward Rock.
Marked for Death by Matthew Pizzolato is another good read, along with
Adrift Again, by Steve Whisnant. Craig Jones rounds things
out with an article about the U.S. Marshals Service.
On the lighter side, here's what could have been the first infomercial, if only it
had been written 150 years ago. Our thanks to Ruth Weeks for letting us use her
prize-winning flash fiction titled The Tale of Smokey & Harry Butts.
What's flash fiction? In this case, a story with ninety nine words or less. Short and fun!
All in all, this issue is a fine way to start off a new year. So kick back, relax, and enjoy!
