I had read about half the magazine (and written the above passage) when I received an unexpected and welcomed request from editor Steve Weddle to submit a piece for the next issue. Damn if I didn't jump at the chance quickly before he changed his mind! And my luck didn't stop there as it just so happened that I had a story waiting in the wings called "The Sins of Maynard Shipley."
Here's the super-looking cover for the Summer 2010 issue.

Looking forward to THAT! Brilliant cover!
Yes, well done, David. Look forward to reading it.
I agree with you about the cover. My first thought was how stunning it is an d my second that if the contents are half as good it will be a wow. Congrats on your own good luck - richly deserved.
Sweet! And congrats! Can't wait to read the story.
Chris, Thanks for taking a look.
Lee, Paul,& David, Much thanks.
David, The talented Mr. John Hornor Jacobs did the cover.
Sandra, You slipped in on me there. And thank you. I hope everyone doesn't forget to grab a copy of the debut issue that features your marvelous "Big Girls Don't Cry."
Congrats. You deserve all the success you get David. Add another book to my library. Can't wait!

Congrats young man.
Glad you're aboard, sir.
RReynolds, Thanks old son!
Steve, Wouldn't miss it.
Congrats- Turns out the first issue wasn't a fluke. The Needle-pushers actually know what they're doing!
I hope everyone supports them to keep this ship sailing. We are in dire need of quality outlets for both readers to enjoy and a place for writers to hang their hats.
This is wonderful news, David! Congratulations. I'm thoroughly enjoying Issue #1 and I am looking forward to #2 already ~ especially your story!
Kathleen, Thank you and they really did a top job with #1 didn't they?
They certainly did! I'm still enjoying it; when time allows, I grab another story. They are like potato chips; you can't stop at one!
