Even better.

SDO Fantasy (a semi-pro mag) is buying "From the Hip Flask," a 1920s fantasy story that's one of my oldest still in circulation.

And farewell to June!

There will eventually be more of these stories. Timprov is fond of what he calls Industrial Fantasy, which goes up until the advent of commercial air travel. I think the early 20th century is woefully underexplored in fantasy. I plan on messing around with the 1920s and 1930s in particular, although Thermionic Night is set in 1950 and Sampo in 1951-1956. And absolutely no Leave It To Beaver families, either!

Leave it to Beaver (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050032/) was a late-'50s television series with an incredibly high saccharine content. It's become the cliche stereotype of '50s Americana. That image is about as realistic as stock fantasy medievalism.
