Mayan Summer The Ystrelan Ambassador Spell, Book and Candle Scales |
  Barbara Davies, who is no stranger to these pages, submitted her story because she thought there hasn’t been enough science fiction in our pages. Little did she know the gods of submissions had already intervened and convinced three other excellent writers of speculative fiction to give offerings to our humble altar of fiction. The result is an issue that sparkles from the opening pages as it plunges readers into the beauty and mystery of the Yucatan to the last page that leaves readers dreaming of dragons. These stories are as different from each other as stories can be, yet they all take us to alternative realities and future worlds. Better yet, these stories are about amazing women I’ve love spending time with and I hope you'll love them, too.Read. Enjoy. Happy New Year! Carrie Call for Submissions Toe to Toe: Standing Tall and Proud An anthology of stories dedicated to women who overcome adversity, jump over major hurdles, beat the odds, stand for what they believe in . . . About women whose stories inspire all of us to be strong and confident as we make our way in this crazy world. The protagonist must be a lesbian or a woman of unknown sexuality--in other words, no heterosexual references for the protagonist. The story must be character-driven, well-written, and well-plotted. The style can be literary or genre. We're not interested in horror, erotica, strong sexual situations, over-used profanity, or extreme violence. Length: up to 8,000 words Payment: $0.01 a word, plus a copy of the anthology. Unpublished stories, reprints, and short excerpts from novels that stand on their own are welcome. Deadline: February 1, 2008 visit http://nuancebooks.wordpress.com/books/toe-to-toe-standing-tall-and-proud/ for more information. We look forward to your submissions. We'd love to hear from you.
