For those awaiting
Mercurial tales is still in the creation phase but is leaping and bounding ahead. I have been able to acquire a short print run publishing deal (Mag's only occasionally sell these days). It will of course be online as an e-zine and there will be a pay per read option for the top tales. The print option will be easily available and I hope that people will buy it.
I do expect, and that is a shame, that few will be happy to pay for the mag. Many expect their reading material for free these days and that is why they are reading rubbish most of the time (no author sells their work for free unless it is worthless). Times are tight and spare money is not easily available and so many would perhaps read crap rather than read great works at a good price.
This magazine will be well priced (we are not using the best graphics or photography) but we are providing the best of stories, Tales and Short fiction in one bundle.
I feel sure that all will loive it.
