One of the works in this issue—The Rest Was Easy, the last story in the Fiction section of Contents—may be disturbing to some readers. It certainly disturbed me. We published it because it is of literary quality, because that is what we do. I would like to hear if you think publishing it is a good or bad thing. Let me know what you think.
On the other hand, the next to the last story, Reader, I Divorced Him: Famous Literary Couples Untie the Knot, and the second poem, Metaphor Zoo, are very funny.
This issue has a slightly new look. First, the Welcome page is gone. Instead, going to AmarilloBay.org goes directly to the Contents page. The information that was on the Welcome page has been divided between the Contents page and the About page. The Welcome page seemed like a good way to provide information about literary magazines when I designed the Web site in 1999, but it gets in the way of the works, which is what people actually want.
Also, I made the Contents page a little more open to make it easier to find the three literary sections (Fiction, Creative nonfiction, and Poetry) and the Previous Works section.
My wife and I are buying a new house about 60 miles south of our current one. We had forgotten what a nuisance all the paperwork for that is, plus the inspections and other irritating trivia. Other than that, it is a good move to downsize from our current 2,700 square feet to about 2,000 square feet. And it has a good Internet connection so I can continue to publish Amarillo Bay.
Be sure to check out previous issues at the bottom of the Contents page. There are nearly 640 works available from the quarterly issues we have published since 1999.
Thank you for your continuing interest in Amarillo Bay!
