Hello all.

2009 will be a good year for Sheer Speculation Press in a way that directly opposes the very bad year that 2008 was.

We've hired on an assistant to help with Staffs & Starships, and we've found a new designer for the magazine. We're poring as quickly as possible through the heap of stories, and we'll be getting issues 3 and 4 out before the end of May.

As well, we'll be working very diligently to put out the word about Loki's Journal and hope to get more submissions for that publication in order to put out the ezine for that. As it stands now, we haven't received much in the way of submissions, but we'll hope to put together a debut issue with what we've got.

The anthology "Long Live Us All" is being canceled, because we didn't receive a single submission for it. Perhaps in the future we'll relaunch it, but it's being taken down indefinitely for now, so we can focus on other projects.

So please look forward to more from us very soon and look for us to get back on a regular schedule in the very near future. Sheer Speculation truly appreciates all of the support we've had in the last two years, and we truly appreciate your continued support in the future.
