Fiction Magazine: Anthology
The Best of Neo-opsis
Science Fiction Magazine is
an 8” by 5 ½”, 80 page perfect bound anthology.
The cover of issue 28 is Bowls Full of Plants, Moons and Stars, by Karl Johanson.
The Foreword is by Karl Johanson
who discusses some of the elements of a good science fiction story.
The first story is “All the Tea in China,” by Yvonne
Pronovost. (3,953 words – Short Story) Yvonne
lives in Edmonton, Canada, and enjoys traveling to places that are as unlike
Edmonton as she can find. She also enjoys digging in the dirt, and skeletons.
She is finishing up a B.A. in Anthropology (Archaeology) and has a short story
appearing in Darkness Rising 2005.
The second story is “Virtually Yours” by Nina Munteanu, (3458 words – Short Story). Nina is an
internationally published author, whose fiction and non-fiction has appeared in
publications throughout United States, Canada, the UK, and Romania since the
1980s. Publications include, among others, Bram Stoker award-winning Chiaroscuro, GateWay SF, Hadrosaur Tales, and Dreams & Visions. Her short story, "Angel's
Promises", was nominated for the Speculative Literature Foundation (SLF)
Fountain Award in 2004. She is a member of SF Canada and also serves as

The third story is “Staphmeyer’s Mantra” by Hank Quense.
Assisted by his faithful mutt, Manny – Hank writes Science Fiction and Fantasy
stories (along with an occasional writing article) from Bergenfield, NJ. All of
these stories are humorous or satiric, because he refuses to write serious
genre stories. He feels that folks who crave serious Fantasy and SF can get a
full measure in any daily newspaper. In the spirit of disclosure, Hank reports
that all of the story ideas (the good ones anyway) come from Manny. Hank merely
translates the dog's ideas into a manuscript. Hank can be reached via e-mail
at: hanque@verizon.net while Manny refuses to get an internet address until
someone develops a paw-friendly keyboard. The pair of them have
sold stories to Andromeda Spaceways, Here
and Now, Cyberpulp,
Fantastical Visions, and several
other anthologies.
