This is a forum that gives them the opportunity to be noticed in a greater market than they would normally enjoy. I feel that the ongoing competition makes writers work harder and reach farther than they might writing on their own. I’m fascinated to see where they take the field of science fiction.” —Jody Lynn Nye Find out more at: www.jodynye.com and www.mythadventures.net Michael T.
