And we're back again!

Grantville Gazette, Volume 35, is proud to include new author David W. Dove's "Solemn Duty" in our May 2011 issue. A very touching story that will grab the heart of military folk everywhere. As well, Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett are back to their old tricks with "The Beckies," a story explaining just why Mike Stearns invented yet another money.

Iceland gets some play in Iver P. Cooper's "Fire and Ice," along with just a touch of the pirates of Barbary. Kim Mackey is back with "Boom Toys" and we know just how much our readers love all the boomenstoff. Terry Howard brings us Jimmy Dick again, with "Dueling Philosophers."

Did you ever wonder where the song about those greasy, grimy gopher guts came from? Well, Virginia DeMarce knows where it came from in the 1632 Universe and is happy to tell us all how it happened in "Arrested Development." Our own Saint George is at it again, in, naturally, "Saint George Does It Again," by Kerryn Offord.

Herb Sakalaucks is back with Part Nine of his "Northwest Passage" serial, and Garrett W. Vance is still saving the dodo in "Second Chance Bird, Episode Four."

It's all great stuff, and comes with our latest nonfictions from Iver P. Cooper and Gus Kritikos, "Untying the Wind" and "The Progression of Trauma Care and Surgery after the Ring of Fire, Part 2."

The Universe Annex offers "The Medic" by Fox Mc Geever, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch does a great essay in her column Notes from the Buffer Zone, with "Influences."

Join us this issue.

And here we are! Grantville Gazette, Volume 36!

Modern medical practices—as well as a dirigible—from Kerryn Offord. A homily from David Dove, a thief's adventure and redemption from John Zeek. Economics as only Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett can manage, and wooden pipe from Terry Howard's Kimi factory.

The dodos are still there, as Garrett W. Vance explains and a new two-part story from Jack Carroll and Edith Wild explores justice in Grantville.

Nonfiction concentrates on the aforementioned dirigibles, with highways in the air and the specifics for building a dirigible from Iver Cooper and Kerryn Offord.

The Universe Annex story is from J. F. Keeping and has whales! How can you pass that up?

Kristine Kathryn Rusch discusses the past and the future, e-publishing, mass culture and more. You want to read this.

Get ready, set, and go! Right this minute. Grantville Gazette is waiting for you!

Oh, my! Blood in the streets of Erfurt! Whatever could have happened? It's easy to find out. Just read Bjorn Hasseler's "Blood in Erfurt." Go ahead. We'll wait.

The Amazing Dr. Gribbleflotz is back in Grantville Gazette, Volume 37. Running for President? You must be wondering: President of What? Check out Kerryn Offord's "Dr. Phil for President." Terry Howard's "Dreams Can Come True . . ." shows that sometimes things go wrong to turn out right and David W. Dove's "Buddy" will bring tears to your eyes.

Keeping Murphy in front of you is important in life. It helps stop accidents. Read how in Rick Boatright's "The Society of Saint Philip of the Screwdriver." That's St. Philip Neri, folks. The conclusion of Jack Carroll's and Edith Wild's two-part story "Equal Rights" appears in this volume, and we're sure you'll be interested in what happened to the bad guys.

Garrett W. Vance has characters deep in the Indian Ocean, stranded on an island . . . or does he? Check out "Second Chance Bird, Episode Six."

Nonfiction this issue is, as always, full of information. J. D. McCartney, for an assignment in college, chose "Playing Nice in Someone Else's Sandbox: An Examination of the 1632 Universe and the Grantville Gazette." It's all about us! And quite a good read, too. Iver P. Cooper examines what is likely in terms of weather in the 1632 Universe in "Climate: The Little Ice Age After the Ring of Fire." Lots of interesting information there.

Thomas Allen Mays has delivered "Strategic Deployment" for our Universe Annex department, and quite a delivery it is. Hard science fiction, a story that will set your heart to racing.

And investigate Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Geek Summer." The world is changing faster than we can keep up with.

Grantville Gazette, Volume 37. Don't miss it!

Once again, the Grantville Gazette is ready for your reading pleasure.

Morris are back with "The Play's the Thing," with intrepid reporter Betsy Springer and her sidekick (although he'd hate that description ) Denis Semsa and a surprise guest. Kerryn Offord gives up "Paper Mate," a love story by any description.

Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett are exploring technology, but what happens to "The Arrow" and why? It's easy to find out. Eastern Poland is experiencing its own problems, which you can read about in Kevin and Karen Evans' "Mitzi the Kid." And, oh, those up-timers have some strange ways. Check out Jack Carroll's "The Lesser of the Two Evils" to find out about them.

Herbert Sakalaucks is back, this time with "Aerial Donkeys," and no, that doesn't mean the donkey's have sprouted wings. Tim Roesch brings us more up-timer oddities in "Letters Home, 1 and 2," a new serial written from a down-time perspective. Bird Lady Pam is still off trying to save the dodo in "Second Chance Bird, Episode Seven" from our art director and author Garrett W. Vance.

Nonfiction covers a lot this issue. Brad Banner tells us about tuberculosis in "The White Plague," and Iver P. Cooper tells us how they might develop treatment for it in "The New Royal Touch: Synthesis of Anti-TB Drugs." Iver also explains how hydrogen, for the airships might be produced in "Hydrogen: The Gas of Levity."

Join us for our November 2011 issue, number 38 in the ongoing saga of what's happening in Early Modern Europe.

Did you ever wonder what would happen to some of the famous philosophers in the 1632 universe? Well, Mark H. Huston has told us about one of them in "The Cartesian Way." And there's always been a recurring thread about indoor plumbing, which is further discussed in Gorg Huff and Paula Goodlett's "The Porcelain Throne." Those two also wrote about industries that are being developed in "Ball Whats?"

Check with Kerryn Offord's "Saint George's Dogs" to see more developments in points east of Grantville, and John Zeek is taking care of the police in "Big Iron."

Terry Howard is back with "Reaping and Sowing," with those kids from the McAdam's Mining Company. There's more from our down-time nursing student in "Letters Home, 3 and 4" by Tim Roesch. You have to feel sorry for that rooster, really you do. Garrett W. Vance is back with two stories, his "Second Chance Bird, Episode Eight" as well as a story in our new department Time Spike. "The Good Samaritan and the Hanged Man," along with David W. Dove's "The Dragon Slayer" are the first selections for that department.

Iver Cooper discusses airship lift in "Sitting on Cloud Nine: Airship Lift and Altitude Control," while Karen C. Evans tells us how to make some condiments in "Feeding the Up-timer Addiction: Soy Sauce." Many of us do tend to crave Chinese food, after all.

Well, what's going on in Grantville and the rest of 1632 Europe these days?

Lots of stuff, of course.

A widow in Grantville has a family heirloom . . . only it's not from her family. Whose is it? Read Robert E Waters "The Heirloom" and find out.

Garrett W. Vance is back with "Second Chance Bird, Episode Nine." There's swashing and buckling in this one, you bet! And we have a new series starting, Rainer Prem's "Ein feste Burg," which is going to—eventually—restore the Wartburg which was so outrageously burned in the novel 1632. You have to read this!

Iver P. Cooper is back with "Cold Comforts: Natural Refigeration in the 1632 Universe," an examination of the ice trade, and Ronald D. Ferguson presents "Hire Education" for our Universe Annex offering.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch is tired of literary snobbery and you can read about that in her "Confessions of a Downmarket Writer Or The Death of Literary Snobbery (Please)." Very interesting stuff there and we should be offering accolades.

We're ready, folks. Are you?
