In This Issue

Welcome to the 8th issue of nanobison. Take the time to read, digest, fondle and embrace all of these great stories in this our themed Other Dimensions of Love issue.

Small Talk

First, we have a story called Small Talk, from returning nanobison contributor James Targett. No it's not a computer language, but then, what is the language of love?

Feeders

Next, a story from Ashley Arnold called Feeders. Is it about love? That depends on your definition. Read it, then check on the well-being of your goldfish / parakeet / puppy / cat / rodent.
First Year Reunion Following is First Year Reunion, from Vassa and Varvara Grichko. Who says love isn't a sacrifice?
Renfield and the Modern Woman

John McMullen's Renfield and the Modern Woman explores the boundaries of devotion, even as they extend beyond the grave, because sometimes a sense of order is what one truly loves.

Dead Man in the Yard In Rob Hunter's Dead Man in the Yard, a man received advice about love from an unexpected source.
Notes on Tomorrow Bay When is love a weapon and sex a mere distraction? A timeless question, one that R.R. Litwicki Jr. answers in his own way in Notes on Tomorrow Bay.
Revelations Miranda Warren's Revelations is perhaps not about love, but it raises it's own questions about one's capacity to love when one becomes separated ... from one's self.
Love is Strange In Thomas J. Keller's Love is Strange, the disdain of youth collides with love, with a little extraterrestrial influence. Sometimes you have to take help where you can get it.
The Queen of Titan And finally, we have a story from another returning nanobison author, Justin Stanchfield, where a man dances among the stars with The Queen of Titan.

Coming up ...

Story selection is completed for Issues 9, 10, and 11. We have a number of excellent short fiction and poetry pieces coming in the months ahead.

Also, we have been slow on our reviews, but you can catch a review of Eric Shapiro's new book Days of Allison in our next issue.

Later in 2007

In the coming year, we will still be working on our short animation projects. Delivery dates are a bit sketchy, but the work continues. Check out the OTHER PROJECTS section of the submissions page if you are interesting in participating.
