The first story in issue twenty-nine is Myathan Rainbows, by Sarah Craft. When it comes to chaos, Sarah wears the crown--although a bit lopsided. As a freelancer, she spends much of her day herding authors and publishers working as a publicist, editor, and personal assistant. In between emails, spell checks and chasing metaphorical rabbits, she creates wearable art with beads, thread and anything shiny. To keep empty nest syndrome at bay, she also games, entertains cats and enjoys watching 90’s TV series with her husband. You can find her work in "Hero of Ithtar" in Women in Practical Armor anthology by Evil Girlfriend Media, and "The Coin Whisperer" in The Best of Abyss & Apex Volume II. (I accidentally spelled Sarah Craft as Sarah Croft on the print cover. My apologies for the error. Karl Johanson)
