SAM'S DOT PUBLISHING PRESENTS:
SPACEPORTS & SPIDERSILK
Welcome to the December issue of Spaceports & Spidersilk! Winter is on its way, with holidays and snow days waiting in the wings, but for right now, weary of all the rains of autumn, I find myself crossing my fingers and wishing madly every time I see a hint of ice or hail.
There is little to be seen of winter in this issue's content. Once again, the cold weather seems to avoid our spaceport, and the worlds it serves have their own seasons, all out of pace with those of Earth. Instead, here you will find tales of visitors from other planets, both friendly and not, stories full of new intelligences, magical amulets, and mythical creatures, in flavors both boldly noble, and scarily silly. We even have touches of math and science ready to round things off for us, and an article all about creepy and unusual plants.
So sit back, somewhere warm and sheltered, and get ready to read your way into other places, other climates. Sip hot cocoa, and bundle blankets round yourself... then slip into worlds where aliens come visiting with strange requests, where normal building maintenance is anything but normal, and where an extra box of tissues might be useful for mopping up after more than just one of your own winter colds.
Enjoy!
