My contributor’s two copies came in the mail on Wednesday. I spent yesterday looking over the magazine, reading several stories. The magazine will be on the newsstands as of May 1, 2018, but you subscribers may have already received your copy. To subscribe or to order this issue, please go to https://www.sfsite.com/fsf/subscribe.htm
The magazine's Introduction was disappointingly vague and author unfriendly. Here’s a much more informative Introduction to my story, “The Bicycle Whisperer”:

Here is the first review! Review of the May-June 2018 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction by John D. Loyd
The Bicycle Whisperer • 5 pages by Lisa Mason
Very Good. Simon's bicycle runs away. He hires the Lone Rangerette to find her, which she does. The Lone Rangerette finds Shimano Stella, calms her down and asks her whether she has run away to get away or to get attention. A lot of story packed into five pages. http://sfbookreview.blogspot.com/2018/05/mayjune-2018-fantasy-and-science-fiction.html
And here’s another review from The SF Crow’s Nest review website:
“Turning from fantasy to SF, Lisa Mason’s ‘The Bicycle Whisperer’ takes the issue of autonomous vehicles and asks what might happen if the vehicles in question were not cars but bikes? What follows is an entertaining and original piece which explores the occasionally emotional relationship between a cyclist and their equipment and what might happen if the bicycle could answer back. You’ll never look at a mountain bike in the same way again!”
You’ll find this, and the four other mentioned stories in the May-June 2018 issue at http://www.sfcrowsnest.info/the-magazine-of-fantasy-science-fiction-may-jun-2018-volume-134-737-magazine-review/
So there you have it, my friends. I've done an interview with the magazine regarding “The Bicycle Whisperer”, along with an interview for "Aurelia," published in the January-February 2018 Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. In meantime, enjoy the issue. If you’ve got a kind word to say about any of my books and stories, please review it on your blogsite, review site, Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, or wherever else you roam online.
Your participation really matters. Thank you for your readership!
