The August issue of Flashing Swords is only a few weeks away.

That means you only have a few weeks to order FS 10 if you were going to.

And now for the really important information. The August issue will be the last issue that Cyberwizard Productions publishes. Janrae Frank will be taking over as the new publisher as of August 1st, though some assets are being transfered to her now.

For those that don't know, Janrae has been involved with Sword and Sorcery, and the publishing industry in general, for a very long time and brings a wealth of experience to the project.

Her website is here:
www.janraefrank.com/

I will remain in charge of the Marsh God webcomic until its run on the Flashing Swords website is finished. I also remain responsible to publish the special contest issue (which still doesn't have any entries, btw) that closes on Sept. 30.

Questions can be posted here, or emailed to me.

It's the end of a great era. It's been a true pleasure and a learning experience working with you, Kelly.

And I'd like to welcome Janrae (with whom I also enjoy working!) to the magazine. I think FS is in for yet another great era!

I am very excited about taking over Flashing Swords. Sword and Sorcery has always been my first love. I hope to continue to provide rousing entertainment for everyone and a good place to be seen.

I have no skeletons in my closet, they are all hanging from the yardarm.

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa’necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.

What happens to the subs that were already accepted for the November issue?

Check out my story "Cold Snap" in Lords of Justice from Carnifex Press. It's an anthology of kick-ass super hero novellas.

Janrae is commited to publishing all stories, articles and so on that have paid contracts. I can't speak for how she's going to schedule things or if she's going to keep to a quarterly schedule. All I can tell you is that you have a contract and I've sent you money. Your story WILL see print in Flashing Swords.

Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!

I imagine that there will be more similarities than differences between my approach and CW's. All stories contracted for will be published.

Again, thank you, CW. Flashing Swords is the most entertaining reading I've run across in many a year.

:) You're welcome.

I hope you'll continue to be pleased with it and I also hope you'll be interested in a new project I'll let everyone know about in a couple of months.
