Dan L. Hollifield

The Senior Editor's usual ravings about whatever…


Serialised stories and Long Fiction

Jeff was unable to work on the Serials & Novels section for this month and has asked me to explain and to extend his appologies. He and his family have been busy buying a new house and moving in. I know that I went through the same thing two years ago when I bought a house. Aphelion readers are asked to please be patient and forgiving, writers who have posted submissions to Jeff are asked to please let the tar cool back down and put the feathers back into the pillows.
