June News Flashes
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." --Groucho Marx
Stuff is happening. I like stuff, all kinds and all sorts of stuff. Some of my favorite stuff things are finding really neat writing forums as well as leads to publishers that are looking for submittals from newbies like you and I. This month I’ve found two very interesting ports of call. First is a new little forum called “The Grail.” It has a free newsletter as well as an absolutely wonderful forum. Needless to say, I have joined and find it to be quite habit forming. I copied the following information regarding the site.

THE GRAIL FREE NEWSLETTER

Next is a new ezine scheduled to be out in September. The Zine is called Pantechnicon, and Issue One will be released inSeptember . It's an eZine for Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror stories, articles and news. Magazine content will be quarterly, but reviews and news will be an ongoing feature. It's awesome!
