The estimable Peg Robinson, whose widely-acclaimed story "Tonino and the Incubus" graced Helix #2, has written a short essay concerning us, which we commend to your attention. It may be read at http://www.watt-evans.com/blog/?p=50#.

Helix is proud to announce that "Mahmoud's Wives," by Janis Ian, appearing in Helix #1, has qualified for the Preliminary Ballot for the Nebula Award. Congratulations, Janis!

This is the first Helix story to be longlisted for this prestigious award. We're hoping it won't be the last.

In response to a number of inquiries: no, there are no plans for a downloadable version of Helix. Even if we wanted to do that, we couldn't, because we do not own the download rights to the stories. We buy online rights only.

We have learned that according to the rules of the World Science Fiction Convention, in order to be considered a semiprozine, we must among other things announce ourselves to be a semiprozine.

Therefore be it known to all and sundry — and mondry too, for that matter — that Helix is a semiprozine; amen, so mote it be.

Doranna Durgin is absolutely bursting with shameless self-promotion. With a hardcover mystery out at the beginning of the year (it's got a dog on the cover, so how could you resist?), Survival Instinct bursting out from its April release and COMEBACK about to appear in August, there hardly seems room to mention Blue Hound Visions, an active web site design/hosting business that's kept her artistic half happy for the past ten years and is now taking new clients. But she's going to do it anyway.

Lawrence Watt-Evans pioneered the idea of the reader-supported online serial novel last year with The Spriggan Mirror, which will be published in trade paperback by Wildside Press in September.  He has not abandoned traditional publishing, by any means; Tor released the first volume of The Annals of the Chosen, The Wizard Lord, in March, and Volume Two, WINTERHOME, will be out in 2007. Other attempts to pry your money away from you are detailed on his website, The Misenchanted Page.
