The latest issue of “Other Worldly News” from the Speculative Fiction Writers of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers is now available online.

What is “speculative fiction,” or specific for the shorthand. It’s a genre of writing in which the setting is other than the real world, involving supernatural, futuristic, or other imagined elements. It changes the laws of what’s real or possible as we know them in our current society, and then speculates on the outcome.
Highlights include:
“A Word with SpecFic Writer Kayelle Allen,”,” Genre-hopping, super-productive author, publisher, and marketer.
Two new anthologies released in winter: Second Law and Joy to the Worlds.
Book review of White Trash Warlock, by David R Slayton, an hysterical, yet thoughtful, romp through a fantasy world
