Into the “international business” - The view over the “rim”

Ein Beitrag von Horst Hermann von Allwörden

Zauberwort - The editorialInto the “international business”
The view over the “rim”

zur deutschen Version Each Bundesliga (national soccer league in Germany) coach is pleased when his team successfully jumps into the so-called “international business” (the qualification for the Champions league or the Euro-League).  Editors of commercial/non-commercial magzines see and handle this differently (usually) as each one revolves mostly around regional sensitivities.

Looking beyond national borders? Rare.

Everybody is talking about “globalization” although not usually magazines.  We are here to change that.  We have entered the international arena.

... Allan Gilbreath from Kerlak Publishing on speculative fiction and publishing in the US

Ein Beitrag von Bettina von Allwörden (Meister)

Allan Gilbreath ... Allan Gilbreath ...
... from Kerlak Publishing on speculative fiction and publishing in the US

zur deutschen Übersetzung Being a small publisher seems to be a real (ad)venture. If so, Allan Gilbreath is on a longterm-adventure. He is the founder of Kerlak Publishing, a small publisher in the US, actively supporting several cons in his "private identity", writes himself in a group of authors called "Hellions" ...
 
With Kerlak, Allan Gilbreath tries to be slightly different from the rest of the bookmarket. A bold statement that made me curious to find out, if Kerlak can life up to this statement. But see for yourself:

Garrison, Darwin - Skipping Stones

Skipping StonesSkipping Stones
by Darwin Garrison

I just finished Darwin Garrison's short story "Skipping Stones" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been reading science fiction for a number of decades so I ask: "Have there been other stories about races between starships? Huge payoff... assuming you survive long enough to win." Yes.

But this story contains adventure, excitement, romance, sabotage and redemption all wrapped up together in a very nice package. "Skipping Stones" is very-well paced, never bogs down and keeps your interest right up to the final surprise. Oh, and it's written in a wry, humorous voice.  I recommend this story to anyone who likes science fiction - but I refuse to call it a "space opera" (which apparently now applies to anything with FTL travel) because this is just a good, fun, interesting science fiction story.

Garrison, Darwin - Black Feather, Bright Heart

Black Feather, Bright HeartBlack Feather, Bright Heart
by Darwin Garrison

This is a very well-constructed, moving short story that carries the reader from a bucolic reality to the truly terrifying world of the fae and back again.

Mirram has returned to her original human form after walking the Glimmering Path to revenge the slaughter of her entire family when she was just a child. She had become weary of revenge and wished to live a simple, human life as a baker and healer, giving up the terrible powers as the fae Lady Nightwing, releasing her hold on the crows and ravens that answered her will. But Lady Nightwing's brother and sister fae wish her to return to their realm and send their minions against her village to force her to step back on the Glimmering Path and take up her sword again.
