Well, once again, I couldn't handle it and decided to change the format just a bit. I figure that when we have new (to us) writers grace our pages, it's only appropriate to spotlight them.

Originally I was going to call it the Department OF First Stories but then I said, Naw, it might not be this writers FIRST story, just their first with us, so here we go, inaugurating, the First Appearance Department where we would like to welcome both Susanne Bridenbaugh and Ed Clayton... and many happy returns. --Jerry
