Grasping for the Wind has a review of the Shimmer Pirate Issue.
The highlight for me was, of course, this:
The illustrations throughout this issue were very well done. They had detail and connected very well with the stories. The cover was appropriate and appealing, with a simple graphic design that grabbed the eye without shouting too loud. Inside, the layout was excellent, the stories very readable and the binding solid (it had a graphic novel sort of binding). It was held easier in the hand than a mass market paperback, and each story is just the right length to get you through lunch at the office.
Way to go James and Jeremy Owen, to whom we owe all the art.

Glad you liked what I had to say. The art and binding were excellent, and the stories quite good. Come back tomorrow to my site to see an interview with the editor, John Joseph Adams, to find out how he approached choosing stories for this issue.
Beautiful site by the way. I’m jealous.
Thanks! Glad you stopped by.
