SMFS Member Publishing News: Trip Among the Bluebonnets by James A. Hearn

 

SMFS list member James A. Hearn’s short story, Trip Among the Bluebonnets, is published today in Black Cat Weekly #74. Published by Wildside Press, the issue is available here in digital format.

 

Website Description: 

Our 74th issue features an essay from Norman Spinrad, the sort of non-fiction feature I’d like to see more of here in the future. (In fact, we do have an interesting essay from Harlan Ellison coming up in an issue or two, too.) And I plan to resume running author interviews shortly as well. 

This issue features an original story by Neil Plakcy, plus more recent tales by James A. Heart and Phyllis Ann Karr, plus classics by Norbert Davis, Ray Bradbury, Frank Belknap Long, and Edmond Hamilton. And no issue would be complete without a Hal Charles solve-it-yourself mystery.
