Welcome to the ninth issue of Forever Magazine!

Much of last month was spent catching up on secret projects I still can’t tell you about and reading, lots of reading, for the my Best Science Fiction of the Year series. This past month, the first volume became available for preorder at Amazon and B&N. I know I’ve been working on this for a while, but that just made the whole thing feel a lot more real. I can’t wait to be able to share it with you.

This month, I’ll be visiting the D.C. area and attending Capclave (www.capclave.org). I’ll end up spending most of my time in the dealer’s room selling old my old bookstore inventory and Clarkesworld-related stuff. Ron Guyatt sent me some great postcards featuring some of the series we’ve been using for our covers. So if you’re in the area that weekend, stop by and say hi and I’ll give you some.

As always, thanks for reading! If you enjoy the issue, please consider posting a review on Amazon, B&N, or any of the other places that sell Forever! Nine months in and we haven’t convinced anyone to do that yet, so you could be the first!

Until next month . . .
