It's July and there are several updates to the AT website at http://cyberwizardproductions.com/AbandonedTowers. I've posted a new Odd Review by Oddcube. This time he reviews Mike Resnick's The Goddess of Ganymede (pulp sci-fi all the way). A new Dragonslayer's cartoon is up, and there are several other items that'll go online in the next couple of days.
Also, as this is the start of a new trimester for the print issue, Abandoned Towers print issue #3 is now available from the AT website. To get a copy, go to the home page and click on the small, rectangular icon with the words Print Issues, then click on the cover of the issue you want. Keep in mind that the content in the print issues never goes up online, and what's online never goes into the print version.

And here's a couple of teasers. From Spirits by Jaleta Clegg:
A thick fog drifts over the ground beneath a gibbous moon, stirred by the passing of a tall, dark shape. Frogs stop their spring mating calls as the shadow sweeps by. All is still. A single frog peeps uncertainly.
The fog parts again. A slender creature the size of a small goat, burning white in the moonlight, trots from the forest, following the shadow. It pauses, posing. Moonlight glistens on the single spiraling horn that lifts from the masses of curling white hair. The unicorn blinks its lavender eyes and dances on split hooves after the shadow.
The shadow strides on, unaware of the unicorn. The land rises in undulating swells, cresting to a flat plain. Tall fingers of stone rise in the distance, a mysterious circle of monoliths. The shadow moves unhesitatingly towards them, mist and unicorn trailing at his heels.
