Someone put a sleeping potion in the cocktail olives or something, because last we knew it was March, and here it is October.

Actually there’s been some changes behind the scenes, and we have to send an apology out to all the writers who’s works have been sitting in the queue gathering dust.

Let me introduce myself:  I’m your new editor, Jerry J. Davis.

My name is familiar here because I’m actually the publisher.  When we set the place up, though, I was to remain behind the scenes, pulling levers, twisting knobs, and signing checks.  My friends Mary Jo and Bill were going to do all the real work.  Well, as it turns out, you see … this isn’t a business, it’s more a labor of love, which means we all have day jobs and families.  The task turned out to be a bit overwhelming for Mary Jo, and so she’s sadly had to step back and take an associate editor position.  Bill is in the same boat.  Work and family overload.

Me, being that I have boundless energy and limitless time (?!?) I’ve stepped forward to take the reins.

So, my sincere apologies to all you readers who have been wondering if new stories were ever going to appear (they are!), to the writers who’ve submitted stories and wondered if they dropped into a black hole (they haven’t), and to the three writers who’s stories we’ve accepted and then left in limbo for the last several months.

I promise to get this ship back on course and get the hyperdrive fixed.

Next stop … some romantic SF!
