Welcome to the June 2006 issue of the Imaginary Word. This month finds me in a bit of an upheaval. My world is changing, spinning faster than sometimes I think I can keep up with but I am trying. Unfortunately, this month I did decide it was time to resign as an assistant editor of Lily Literary Review though I know it will continue to be a beautiful and worthy publication for years to come. I am only glad I was afforded the opportunity to work with such a venue - I've learned a lot.
This month is a bit varied and eclectic - rather like me - but overall, the work to be found online this month is as good as ever. I do hope you all find something you can enjoy.
On a sad note, this month marks the last month for one of my favorite online magazines, Deep Magic.
Just a reminder that the month of August there will not be an Imaginary Word as I will be more concerned about the baby coming. Should anyone want to sub for me and put together their own version of the Imaginary Word - please contact me at imaginary word @ yahoo . com (remove the spaces).
Don't forget to drop into the Forums!
Enjoy and have a great month!
