Issue Three: November 2020

It has been a hot summer here in Arizona and it’s not over yet. After some brief relief from the Arctic blast, we’re back to warm temperatures. We hope that the heat makes you write faster and not less. We have been busy here trying to get our own house in order and some regularity to our publishing schedule.

We now have five platforms we publish to: Rue Scribe, Underwood, The Purpled Nail, True Chili and Black Works. And we are getting ready to add one more for you mystery writers out there.

There is something about dark writing that goes together so well with two other styles: comedy and suspense. Comedy runs the gamut but mystery is an area that we see often and would like to see more of.

We are fans of Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson, too. So, what better name for our newest venture than “Baker Street.”

We are still putting it together, but the submission window for Baker Street will open on January 6, Sherlock Holmes birthday.

So, put pen to paper and gather your stories and we’ll put a candle on the birthday cake for Mr. Holmes.

In addition, this issue brings a new occasional feature: the review. Our authors sometimes put out collections or longer single works. We would like to offer up reviews when those become available. So, if you have a collection or chapbook or novel or novella or even a play we might post a review. So let us know if you have such.
