Here we are, back in that seasonal hollow, that valley
between the blazing summer sun and winter’s harsh winds, down where the real
magic happens. It’s perfect weather…a little cool, still bright, and at night
there’s a feeling of limitless possibilities, as well as a tension, a feeling
that we’d better enjoy this before the long white death comes to blot out the
joy of tramping along railroad tracks and back roads, of sitting idle around
campfires and beneath bridges. And a lot of you must feel the same, because the
membership of storytellers around the fire in this issue is larger than usual.
We have ghost dancing and hospital visits, overseas travels and cemetery
lamentations, we have happy times and the most miserable grief and heartache
you can imagine. We have a book review and an interview, and a great cover
image by my friend’s husband and avid outdoorsman, Mr. Brian Corey. So toss
another log on the fire and pass that jug of wine. There are stories here to
keep us through the whole night.
Hope you enjoy, and I’ll see you down the
road…
