First and foremost, Happy New Year to each and every one of you!

1993 was a year of mixed emotions for me. A lot of good things happened
to me and mine, as did a lot of bad things. Mostly, for me, 1993 was a
year of change. 

We saw a democrat take the presidency for the first time in twelve
years. (and do a pretty decent job, in this publisher's opinion) We saw
a lot of turmoil around the world. We saw a lot of changes, both
locally, nationally, and world-wide. Changes are what makes the world go
around, I suppose.

In my personal life, I realized the 10 year ambition of putting up a
BBS. Starting a electronic magazine has been an ambition of mine for
only about 2 years, but one just as important and one that I managed to
fulfill quite nicely. In 1993, I managed to have a few more stories and
articles published, and work my way towards making a living as a writer.
I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting closer.

1993 saw my wife Heather continue to do battle against cancer. The
doctors tried a lot of different treatments, with varying degrees of
success. I'm confident that she'll beat the disease and live a long,
fulfilling life at my side. It's just something I *know*.

With this issue, we start Volume II of the magazine. Thank all of you
for supporting the magazine thus far, and I hope you'll stick with us
for future issues to come. 

Happy New Year!
