Sounding the Trumpet

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and are eagerly scribbling some new stories to send out.

Today's spotlight is on fantasy writer Catherine Hellisen.

Catherine Hellisen lives in Johannesburg, and 2007 sees her first short story in print. Taking Back the Castle is available in the shared world anthology When The World Runs Thin. Set in the year 2140, this collection of short stories highlights the fate of six cities. Taking Back The Castle is, naturally enough, about Cape Town.

Issue #3 of horror 'zine Something Wicked is out. If you can't find it at your local bookshop or comic shop, then order online at Something Wicked.

The featured writers this issue are Lauren Beukes, Kirk Dixon, Erika Frouws, One, Charles Paston, Werner Pretorius, Karen Runge, Miranda Sherry, and Brett Venter.
