There is so much going on in our world right now, and when I say "our world," naturally I mean this wonderful magical alterna-verse that we have all become a part of.  I've actually had people tell me they're going to miss one faerie festival because they'll be attending another one...not bad, right? (though I suppose actually being able to attend both, say if they were on different weekends, would be even better.) Be sure to stop by the Faerie Magazine booth at Faerie Worlds if you happen to be there and tell them you saw them on Enchanted Folk. I understand that Katie Lennon and Hawk (see their EF pages) are there, and of course the regular crowd of delightful magical creatures.  I wish I could have gone too, but perhaps next year!  In Illinois at the World Of Faeries Festival the Gypsy Nomads will be playing and there's just so much else to wonder at there.  What else is going on in the world?

Our summer issue is out and will be arriving in bookstores and in subscribers mailboxes soon (currently available at Faerie Festivals though!).  There was one feature at least that we thought we were going to do and were not able to in this issue (emerging artist), but we are featuring the works of some up and coming poets and writers, and oh-my-gawd, is there some beautiful art in this one! Stephanie Roberst, Brigid Ashwood...well, it's just gorgeous.  Look for our wing feature, too! And we are still looking for new materials for future issues - keep the suggestions coming! I read a lot of mail from our readers and it's become one of my favorite parts of the job.  Submission guidelines are always listed in the beginning of each issue.  I want more fiction!!!!

Have I ranted enough? I suppose. Good night to all - enjoy your merry-making and be safe and happy.
