Welcome to the final issue of our 13th year. Many say that 13 is an unlucky number, but we've had a great year here at Sam's Dot and at The Fifth Di... specifically. We've published a lot of new names, even some first stories for some of our writers, and we've seen lots of great material from the more familiar faces around here. As we conclude this year, you'll see much of the same in this issue.
With the start of the new year, Sam's Dot took several new steps in our evolution. Many of our novels will now see much wider distribution (including Amazon and Barnes & Noble), and we've also started selling some of our titles as e-books. It's a very exciting time to be a part of Sam's Dot.
