Welcome, intrepid readers, to another exciting issue of Arcane Twilight! We have traveled to the ends of the Earth and brought back some of the finest fiction available...well okay, they were emailed to us, but still!

Mark went on a local book-signing tour in April and May of this year to promote his fantasy novel Warders of the Gate. The signings went well; he sold out once and nearly did so again a second time. He was also featured twice in the Weirton (WV) Daily Times.

Carlo's original artwork "The Last Martian" appears on the front page of SCI FI Weekly (part of the SCI FI Channel's website) for the week of July 14, 2008. In addition, he and fellow writer Jim Owens have started a fiction blog called The Kethrios Cycle, set in a new fantasy world.

In this issue, we are pleased to bring you two new sci-fi tales. "Green Eyed Girl" comes to us courtesy of RJ Astruc, whose many stories have appeared in Strange Horizons and other publications. Ricardo Delgado gives us the futuristic detective story "Prayer Day." Ricardo is a Hollywood concept and storyboard artist, who has worked on a number of popular movies as well as upcoming films like The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And as a special feature, we have an interview with JB Kohl, author of the detective-noir novel The Deputy's Widow.

So as you can see, we have a lot of good stuff in this issue. I'll let you go ahead and start reading, but keep an eye out for the next issue, which should be available sometime next month. Enjoy!
