Darwin's Evolutions sounded interesting until I saw the requirements (particularly the dont's). PG 13 is quite the restraint.

I'd like to throw in with Vic and Zak:

A thousand thank you's Snell, for all the work you do!   

Thanks!!!

You can make it work!

[Licorice Lain]

Damn you, Snell, for encouraging me!

Recently interviewed editor Miles Boothe about his new monster-hunter anthology, Leather, Denim & Silver.

Questions include:

• If you could be any one of these monsters, which one would it be? Why?
  
• If you were a hunter, which monster in this anthology would you pursue and why?
  

Writers take note: Pill Hill Press just opened for submissions to the sequel, The Trigger Reflex!

Description: Augmented reality holds the promise of great social change in both the near and far-flung futures. It’s also a wonderful medium for storytelling as information and graphics overlain eye-screens challenges the doors of perception and creates mixed-reality worlds to work and play. The stories can be set in any place, time, or genre, as long as the story cannot exist bereft of augmented reality. Feel free to explore the edges of the technology.
