January 1, 2010

Welcome to the new year, new decade, and hopefully lots of new things from bending spoons. As you can see, the site got a small make-over. Nothing grand but maybe nicer to look at?

We are still running reviews through the blog (bendingspoonszine.blogspot.com) and periodic updates on Twitter (twitter.com/spoonbenderpres).

We don't have any submissions this month but hopefully we can drum up a few for a late first quarter issue, to go live February 1, and get back on track after that.

Thank you for all of your support in the past few years, we literally cannot do it without you.

I had no idea that that was what this movie was about when I Netflixed it (Netflix is also a verb, boys and girls) but I liked it. Read more

Fiction

Because we don't have any reader submissions this month, our Chief Editor has dug a story out of the archives for you to chew on until something new comes in. Enjoy.

Who Knew the Storm - D. Gabrielle Jensen

Storm clouds gathered ominously on the horizon. Black and heavy, they held the late summer heat in close to the Earth. Bella fanned her face, but soon realizing that wasn’t going to do her any good, she set the fan down on the table and removed her shirt, revealing her bra, glowing white against her tanned skin.
