Issue 12 of my zine, Air in the Paragraph Line, is here. This issue is themed "Weird, Paranoid, Insane", and contains 23 stories by 15 writers, ranging from tales of deranged relatives to secret coalitions to battle-maddened 'Nam vets who can't shop in Kroger without seeing VC behind every freezer cabinet, to a still-alive Richard Nixon snorting coke and listening to Dokken. Something for everyone.

This issue contains stories by Grant Bailie, Keith Buckley, Tony Byrer, Joshua Citrak, Kurt Eisenlohr, Rebel Star Hobson, Stephen Huffman, Jon Konrath, R. Lee, Erin O'Brien, John Sheppard, Joseph Suglia, Todd Taylor, and Richard K. Weems. It also includes very kick-ass artwork by Matthew Pazzol.

It's isbn 978-0-6151-6314-7, 236 pages, color glossy cover, and it's $14.95 MSRP.

Order now at http://www.lulu.com/content/1151437 or wait a few weeks or years until it shows up on Amazon and other finer online bookstores.

Go read it, enjoy it, and all I ask is that if you like it, tell your friends and add some links to the site from your blog. (If you really, really like it, you can still buy a print copy, too.)

Air in the Paragraph line is now located at http://ParagraphLine.com. There's a new, redesigned web site that doesn't look like ass. (Well, compared to the last one.)

Anyway, go check it out, and any links to the site are appreciated, as are any comments about how something looks strange in your browser.

I am thinking about getting some stickers, bookmarks, shirts, or other junk printed, now that the URL doesn't look as stupid. Any suggestions are welcome!
