Official Launch of Specutopia, Issue One

We are pleased to announce the launch of Specutopia, Issue One!  It's been a lot of work in a short period of time, but we feel we've put together a solid first issue.  Working with all the authors on this first issue has been an extremely pleasant and rewarding experience, and we hope you all check out our inaugural issue.

Our first issue includes seven stories which cover a broad spectrum of styles and forms from the following talented authors: Greg Mellor, James Beamon, D. Thomas Minton, Jennifer Mason-Black, Rachael Acks, David Steffen, and Jetse de Vries.

We really couldn't have hoped for a better response, or a better lineup for our first issue, and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as enjoyed compiling and editing it.

Specutopia is available for purchase as a direct download (PDF, .mobi, and .epub), and is also available for purchase in a Kindle version (via Amazon) and in a Nook version (via Barnes & Noble).  Please visit http://www.specutopia.com for more details.  And please let us know if you enjoyed the issue.  Thank you.
