[Grantville Gazette 41] • Grantville Gazette, Volume 41

And we're back! Great

issue this one, with two new writers joining us. A. P. Davidson gives us

"Stockholm Syndrome," which is not about a hostage situation, and

Griffin Barber came up with some interesting characters in his story

"Bank On It."Jack Carroll is back with us this issue with "In

Remembrance," and David Carrico contributes "The Evening of the Day."

Both stories have some sadness to them, but then, well, life does that,

doesn't it? Robert E. Water's brings us "The Great Grantville Gander

Pull," and we find out that even in our supposedly enlightened age,

sometimes cruel things are gotten away with.Ever get annoyed

with a teenager? Then you'll sympathize with the characters in Kerryn

Offord's "Our Man in Grantville" for sure. Bjorn Hasseler was the winner

of a challenge to write us a short story of exactly 1,232 words. His

winning entry is "Snipe Hunt." And Rainer Prem is back with episode

three of "Ein feste Burg," which is getting very colorful these days.Nonfiction

from Iver P. Cooper is more about airships, this one "Airship

Propulsion, Part Two: Revving Up." So if you want to build your own,

take a look.R. J. Ortega really means "Outside the Box," but

it's not necessarily thinking outside the box that he's talking about.

And Kristine Kathryn Rusch's column, Notes From The Buffer Zone, has a

title that we've all experienced, "The English Class from Hell." How

could you pass that up?
