We'll feature Aliens - the good kind and the, um, not so good kind - in our third issue, which will include seven short stories, including some already in the ToC below.

The People of Terra Ferma by Edward McKeown
Doctor Glesan by Margaret Karmazin & Janet Amalia Weinberg
And four others titles, which I'll post soon...

I'm working on a follow-up Ezekiel Tanner story. When do you want to see it?

Lyn's Response: Sweet! Any time. I don't have a specific issue in mind yet for another historical piece, but if you need a deadline, let's say end of Feb!

John Ottinger, at his "Grasping for the Wind" SF/F review site, recently posted a candid, but for the most part enthusiastic, review of our first print issue of ResAliens Zine!

He concludes:

ResAliens Issue #1 is a success, and I found I really enjoyed this departure from the mainstream ethos of science fiction. If you are looking for stories more like those of the “Golden Age” or are looking for tales that take spiritual things seriously, I highly recommend you get a copy.

I was pleased over all, although I did feel he unnecessarily bludgeoned Patrick Cox's story. If a 10 year old had written it would he or she really have received an F? That comment seemed a bit out of character for Ottinger, but hey, he didn't like it. Fair enough. 4.5 stories out of 6 isn't bad. And the project as a whole made a positive impression, and for that, I'm excited. Thanks for reading!

And four others titles, which I'll post soon...

I'm pretty sure I know at least one, maybe two of those other titles...
