General News

I got my first look at the next issue of NCCNM and must say that the new graphic designer has definitely moved it forward in terms of the look and feel of the magazine. There were any number of little things I wanted tweaked and adjusted, but overall it looks very good and I am quite pleased. Optimistic, even.

In IGMS news, I've just about got the line up for issues four and five set (just about) and Kathleen (managing editor) and I are looking at having issue four out around the first of February. That date isn't set in stone, but it's the target we're shooting for. It's four months from the release date of the last issue and to be truly quarterly we'll need to get it down to three, but it's good progress in the right direction.

I also just found out that the December issue of Locus magazine is going to have a review of issue three. I have no idea what the overall review will be, but I did get an e-mail from the reviewer, Rich Horton, a little while back, saying how much he enjoyed the cover story (Tim Pratt's "Dream Engine"). We shall see, shan't we?

Yes, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on that.

Rich did give me a kind of honourable mention in his brief sffnet round-up of Abyss and Apex.

Fingers crossed.

*sigh* OK, so I've double crossed my fingers...

Just thought, as well - there's been no review at Tangent of IGMS #3 as yet; seems a touch overdue...

I've been to the bookstore recently, only to find out that when they told me they just got some in, it was a reorder of the November issue. Aaargh...

Dream Engine was all he reviewed.
