    All Stories Read and Back…

    Four Months of Pulphouse Submissions All Read… Thank you, everyone, for giving me a chance to read and possibly buy a story for Pulphouse by backing the Bryant Street Kickstarter back in February.  I had some great reading.

    Reading Stories

    Not Doing Much Writing Yet… Typical slow start to my year. Only years I didn’t have a slow start were years I ramped up for two weeks in December. No idea why. Always seems logical at the time. But I am getting a lot of reading of Pulphouse stories done.

    Still Working Out the Kinks…

    New Issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Published… With the wrong cover. Oops… In the holiday issue, #24, I really wanted to feature Annie Reed’s fantastic new holiday story. We do that feature by using big header on the cover. (see the correct cover below) But the first cover without that feature got put on instead and sent out. And even loaded up to our store. Now understand, we just went monthly and then a few weeks into that, I broke my shoulder and couldn’t be of much help. But the October, November, and now the December issue made it out. And January issue is on time. So going monthly is…

Here is my introduction to this new issue, explaining some of what happened to make us have to take a break and then restart today. We’re Back! Again!!
