In My Opinion

Hi Readers –
Happy New Year 2013!

What a wonderful opportunity we all share when a New Year begins – an opportunity for new chances and new beginnings. It’s terrific and exciting. We have a whole new year of things available to us: new things to learn, new things to experience, new people to meet, new songs to hear and sing. Combined with these, we have new chances to revisit the old things we love: old friends, favorite songs, favorite foods, beloved books and stories. Too terrific!

To start 2013 off to becoming the great year we know it can be, 4 Star Stories has four new stories for you to read and enjoy. In addition, we have an Artist Retrospective – Chesley Bonestell – for your viewing pleasure. So sit back and enjoy the Winter 2012 issue of 4 Star Stories.

In this, the Winter 2012 Issue of 4 Star Stories, we are happy to present four really good reads. Lou Antonelli concludes his future history of science gone amiss in "Racing with the Sunset". John Harper introduces us to a Space Pirate with father issues in “Allure of the Celestial Sea”. C. A. Rose takes us to the unique world of shopping in the future in her story, "Worthy". Finally, Brad Sinor gives us some scary insight into Christmas with his story, “Season Finale”.

So please, cuddle down, keep warm, read, and enjoy!

See you in the Spring 2013 Issue.

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.
