Strange July…
Sadly, Independence Day has come and gone in the USA. I hope everyone on the far side of the pond enjoyed their celebration. It may be the last Fourth of July any of us celebrate as independent citizens.
However, setting dire political prognostication aside, there is a heap of buzz here in the tawdry MEF garrett. July started with a bang, a ringing of bells, and joyous caperings. Firstly, Wonder of Wonders: Two accepted stories on the very first day of the month, and more since then. Therefore, look for a whole passel of stories going live in July.
That’s it, Lovely Readers! I hope you enjoy this latest bit of magical realism. Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:
