SAM'S DOT PUBLISHING PRESENTS:
SPACEPORTS & SPIDERSILK
Welcome to the June 2009 issue of Spaceports & Spidersilk. After a long, cold winter, and (at least where I live) an equally long, rainy spring, the sun is finally peeking its way out of the clouds, at least for a few hours of a few days of most weeks.
To greet the summer, the season of warmth, relaxation, and lazy, grass-stained fantasies, S&S offers stories and poetry perfect for adding to the fun of your out-of-school months. Many of this issue's tales, such as "Day of the Butterfly" by Jerry Hobbs, "Dripping Summer" by Brian Rosenberger, and L. Mad Hildebrandt's haunting fairytale, "The Rose," are steeped in the gentle heat of the season, although some pieces, like "Monster In The Middle" by F.J. Bergmann, and Debby Feo's "The Decline of the Rings," could take place at, or over, a varieties of times.
Still, no matter what the season, no matter what the weather, I think all of the poems and stories published here can lend their own warmth – as well as a few storms – to any reader's world.
Enjoy!
