And, with great regularity, we're baaaccckkk! Grantville Gazette, Volume 59, is rocking and ready.

Sarah Hays has written "For Want of a Nail," about a woman at a crossroads. Terry Howard, with "The Kymi Orphans," tells us about a couple who also come to a change in their lives. It's a whole family facing change with "Making an Impression," by Jack Carroll and Terry Howard. Eric S. Brown gives us "Burning Chickens," and Nick Lorance tugs on the heartstrings with "Storybook." Very interesting reads, all of them.

Bjorn Hasseler is back with "The Red Lion Regiment, Episode Two," and Rainer Prem with "Ein Feste Burg, Episode 20," continuing serials that have kept us all wanting more. Deborah Stutman-Brickey offers "The Fuggeri—The First Social Housing Project." And the Fuggeri still exists to this day. That's quite a record.

Garrett W. Vance continues his story in the Time Spike universe with "The Mysterious Mesa, Part Seven: Exodus." Pioneers hold a place in the hearts of many, don't you think? "Night of the Fireflies" is from Joseph Capdepon II, a story about danger and overcoming adversity. Gotta read that, yes.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch is "Holding Out for a Hero" in her reading, something we all look for. Very well said. Very well.

Grantville Gazette, Volume 59. It's out there, waiting for you.

Brown, joined by Jason Cordova, brings us Fast As Lightning In the Sky's further exploits in "The Chosen of the Red God." "Engines of Change: More Power" is the first of six stories by Kevin and Karen Evans that show what happened when employees of the Danish Airship Company took a small engine to the chocolate shop.

In "The Red Lion Regiment, Episode Three", by Bjorn Hasseler, the unit concludes its training at Camp Saale.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch explains the "Childish Joy" of science fiction. And we have the next part of Garrett Vance's Time Spike serial: "The Mysterious Mesa, Part Eight: The Promised Land."

The Grantville Gazette has a new Editor-in-Chief, Walt Boyes, who introduces himself in an editorial. After fifty-eight issues, Paula Goodlett becomes Editor Emeritus, welcoming more time to write.

Issue 61 of The Grantville Gazette begins with an unusual story. "The Taxman Cometh" is a story in letters with contributions from ten authors, edited by David Carrico.
