This morning I heard from Michael Pennington, the editor of Aurora Wolf, an online science fiction and fantasy magazine. One of the things I like best about Aurora Wolf, other than the fact that it's published in Alaska, (duh, Aurora and Wolf) is that Michael, the editor, and his wife, Joan, the publisher, only publish stories with happy endings. Good guys win and bad guys lose. I love it.

Here's the link.   Aurora Wolf.com

Anyway, Micheal let me know three things this morning. First, he accepted my short story, "Cold Spell," a humorous sword and sorcery story for publication. Second, he is closing submissions for a while because of personal issues. 

I don't have his permission to share those issues, but depending on your personal belief system, please send some positive thoughts his way. If you're an Orthodox Jedi, send him a little positive universal force, if your religion is prayer centered,  please send one his way. Light a candle, spin a prayer wheel, or hang some colored prayer flags where the wind blows. Paint your face and dance around a pentagram if that's your thing.

Karma is real and sending a few good thoughts to Michael and Joan, will be appreciated.  Visit their website. It's well done and most of the stories are quite good - even mine.

Thanks
