Shimmer: Spring 2006

smspring06coverThe Spring 2006 issue of Shimmer: Available now!

Our cover story is A Warrior’s Death, Aliette de Bodard’s tale of sacrifice and honor in an Aztec-inspired world. John Joseph Adams returns with a review of Larry Niven’s “The Draco Tavern.” Then there’s the charming Dog Thinks Ahead, by Cliff Royal Johns, the sorrowful Litany by John Mantooth, and Bruce Derksen’s Rubber Boots, Mr. President. Angela Slatter brings new life to Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Match Girl and Darby Harn tells us about a blind woman’s unusual skills. We also have the honor of being the first fiction credit for Paul Abbamondi (The Dealer’s Hands) and Marina T. Stern (Drevka’s Rain).

Celebrate Spring with Shimmer! Available in both print and electronic editions, according to your reading preferences.

We do grassroots advertising, so you’ll have to expect me to ask you to buy things occasionally. But only good things, and this issue is full of fiction goodness. Speaking of grassroots advertising…if you happen to have a blog and wouldn’t mind giving us a plug, it’d be lovely if you would put this banner up. I’ll treat you to chocolate next time I see you.
