Dog Days of Summer… The Sequel

It dipped, it wavered, but here in the wilds of Northern Yurp, summer is back. Sunshine and thirty Grad next week. That’s eighty-six f. for you folks on the other side of the pond. But September means the editors are crawling back from their summer bacchanalia, staring at their desks with bleary eyes and empty souls. So many stories in the slush pile, some of them mine. Will those plucky stories be accepted? Rejected? Tune into the MEF blog for all the latest:
