Marvelous Meeting of Production!

Over the weekend we had a marvelous meeting of production! (Yes! I am trying to come up with a unique title.) At least 3 feline assistants were present, including a spooky black cat. Meow! Meow! Here, in the Rocky Mountain region, the weather was quite winter-y, however, so we decided to meet virutally (hence the cats). I may, or may not, have worn a witch's costume, but in no way is that indicative of my personality. :) We had a nice discussion about all the stories and came up with six to-be-published, including one holiday story. We also had a nice discussion about art work and decided on a very neat piece. Stay tuned and I'll show you an art preview here later in the month.

Thus, all authors who submitted for the notable November 2021 issue should have heard back from us by now. Authors of accepted stories should have received an initial email from your editor, including a contract. Please send back the contract ASAP, so we can start working on your story! Yes, we are excited! I hope accepted authors will also take us up on the offer to blog--stay tuned for that, as well.

I did hear back from some authors already and very much appreciate their alacrity and enthusiasm! Woo hoo! Thank you, authors.

If you submitted a story, but it wasn't accepted: Thank you, author! We appreciate you, as well!

Starting next week, I'll start previewing the new issue here. Should be fun!
