Hi Readers –

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! We did it! The Spring, 2012 Issue of 4StarStories marks our first anniversary in publication. We are thrilled and proud of the occasion. It has been an amazing year during which we have learned a lot. We enjoyed the great pleasure of bringing you 16 fresh, exciting science fiction and fantasy short stories and the equally great pleasure of introducing you to the work of four extremely talented, innovative artists.

We cannot express how much fun we have had doing this. Even with the work, drama, sleeplessness and worry that it has taken to get each issue online, it has been a terrific experience. We are so glad we undertook the project of publishing 4StarStories for you. Science Fiction and Fantasy short stories and art make up the body of a terrific fiction genre. We truly loved sharing it with you this first year. We can hardly wait to bring another year of stories and art to you. We're looking forward to sharing another year and a second anniversary celebration with you.

Traditionally first anniversaries are celebrated by exchanging gifts of made of paper. That's not how we are doing it here at 4StarStories . We are celebrating our first anniversary by giving you 4 paperless, new online stories along with some visually dazzling science fiction art.

This issue's short stories take us from mud flats in Texas to a distant, drowning alien city; from tenuous travel to Earth's moon to an adventure vacation on a distant world. As for the art work, why waste words teasing your interest? Give yourself a treat, go and look for yourself.

Read, look, think, ENJOY!

We look forward to sharing the future with you.

The Editors: M. Gray and D. Gray

Oh, and writers, remember to self-edit and spell check every story before you send it to us, or to anyone else for that matter. Reading a clean, error-free manuscript makes editors happy, and a happy editor is more likely to publish your story.

Enjoy the Spring 2012 Issue of 4 Star Stories. See you for the Summer 2012 issue, coming June 20, 2012.
