Where does the time go? Up in smoke!

14 DAYS remaining to summer issue deadline. Best yet. We welcome two new editors to our staff: Skye Leslie, assistant editor, who is helping us read through short story contest entries, and Lorena Audra Rutens, editor of a new regular feature to appear in each issue - "A Good Cause." It is our way of making a difference and working to make our world a better place.

Have you sent in your short story contest entry yet? Cash prizes! Honorary judge is author Bonnie Jo Campbell, whose just published story collection, American Salvage, is earning raves. Bonnie will be our summer issue feature author.
