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.

 

Here’s this issue’s lineup:

Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:

“Flaking Out in Wilton Manors,” by Neil Plakcy [Michael Bracken Presents short story]

“A Conundrum In Winter,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]

“Trip Among the Bluebonnets,” by James A. Hearn [short story]

“A Knotty Problem,” by Hal Meredith [short story]

“Dead Man’s Chest,” by Norbert Davis [novelet]

Non-Fiction:

“An SF Manifesto,” by Norman Spinrad [essay]

 

Science Fiction & Fantasy:

“Two Days Out of Sludgepocket,” by Phyllis Ann Karr [short story]

“The Shape of Things,” by Ray Bradbury [short story]

“Galactic Heritage,” by Frank Belknap Long [short story]

“Regulations,” by Murray Leinster [short story]

“Transuranic,” by Edmond Hamilton [novelet]

Website Synopsis:

Our 69th issue is being put together in the chaos of the holiday season. It’s hard, but the team always manages to pull things together at the last minute! So I’ll just say best wishes from everyone at Wildside and Black Cat Weekly…Michael Bracken, Barb Goffman, Sam Hogan, Darrell Schweitzer, Cynthia Ward, Karl Wurf, and me. And I will note that we have two original stories this issue, by Phyllis Ann Karr and James A. Hearn, along with our usual mix of classics and modern tales. And some manage to fit neatly into both mystery and the fantastic categories (see the contents list below.)
