It's late, we're late (again) and here I am justifying it. Insert Robert Burns reference here.

So you know, if you ever doubted, that there were humans behind the editorial veil here, my wife had a difficult pregnancy followed by a complicated birth followed in quick succession with my mother-in-law, who lived with us, dying. So my attention has been elsewhere until very recently, when I started a new side project to clear my head and try to have fun for a bit by doing something different. I am sending NT contracts and putting stories and poems up this week, for the new issue to debut by September 15th or sooner.

And I thought electronic publication would make it easier not to be late.
