Hi, Readers -
Welcome to 4 Star Stories Issue 29!
Welcome to Summer 2024! We are now almost two thirds of the way through 2024. We hope your year so far has been happy and prosperous. Here in Kentucky we have had a wet Spring/Summer up until the last couple of weeks, which have been hot and dry. We are currently planting our fall garden and looking forward to cooler temperatures and a bountiful harvest. That same idea applies to 4 Star Stories as well. We have some improvements in mind that should come to fruition in the next year.
We extend our most sincere thanks to those who contributed to the C. Dean Andersson Memorial page. A link to the C. Dean Andersson Memorial page is in the Art Archive for Issues 25-27.
Enrich your Summer 2024 literary experience by checking out the links to our five stories below. Also check out our new technical topics on file extensions and the difference between Microsoft Word .doc and .docx files in the Webmaster's Rant, located at Contact Us/Webmaster.
Once again, five fine authors have stepped forward with exciting and innovative stories for your reading pleasure. We have an alien contact story by Mike Adamson, and a fantasy story by Margaret Karmazin about art suppression in a distant solar system. LAND OF BLACK AND RED by Andrew Knighton chronicles the struggle of one man against an autocratic regime. Planet 42 Beta concludes Lisa Shapter's Planet 42, continued from Issue 28. Our Bonus Story, by Mason Yates, is a alien dimension-themed science fiction story set on a college campus back in the 1960's.
Here are the links to the stories:
Mano á Xeno
On
Paper, Rock, And Water
LAND OF BLACK AND RED
Planet
42 Beta
Love, a Girl, and a Doorway
The Guest Artist page this issue is
turned over to the thought-provoking Essay on Rogue
Planets. What
Pluto and Charon can show us about survival after your
planet is hurled into intergalactic space. A must read for
science fiction writers looking for a new idea.
As always, we wish you good health, both physical and
mental, in these trying times. We look forward to seeing you
safe and healthy for Issue 30.
