…we bought it. It’s hilarious! I haven’t been this tickled in quite a while.
Check out “The Wedding Dress Tea Parties of 2443″ by Merrie Haskell up on the front page now.
This is the second story we’ve published by Merrie. You can also find her jewel of a story, “The Roman and the Regency,” in the archives section.
That’s not all … more new stories are on their way. Check back soon!

Clarke’s books were the first real SF I read.
This is a sad day for our genre.

Does Fantasy Mean Paranormal?
Hosted by Jerry J. Davis, Lillian Stewart Carl, Lee Killough and Nina Romberg.

Hosted by Jerry Davis, Glenn Yeffeth, and Thomas W. Knowles.
Sure … sure … everybody wants to be the writer. But writers never get anything in print without the unsung hero of the industry – the publisher. Industry pros discuss the career of publishing, what it takes to enter this field and what it takes to succeed.

It’s our pleasure to present to you From Mitsumi by KJ Kabza, a most wonderful little story about two 8,000 year old lovebirds. Enjoy!
It’s our pleasure to publish a great little story by up and coming author Christina Crooks, who’s new book, Thrill Of The Chase, is hitting book stores now.
My friends, we have a new story up on the front page. Smoking With A Ghost By Kristin Knaus Satterlee.
Go read it, now, right now … it’s a real good one and we’re quite happy to be featuring it here.
Please remember, if you can, leave a tip for the author at the bottom of the story. It goes straight to her.
Hope you’re having a happy and romance filled summer.

“…physicists from Austria claim to have performed an experiment that rules out a broad class of hidden-variables theories that focus on realism — giving the uneasy consequence that reality does not exist when we are not observing it (Nature 446 871).”

We’re happy to have a new story up on the front page, a fun and surprisingly erotic (you’ll see what I mean) fantasy called Outwitted by Donald Jacob Uitvlugt.
By all means, please go take a look. And feel free to encourage this talented writer to write more!
