Dear reader
and writer,
Attached you will find a PDF file with the November, 2010 Issue of Novelty - Stories & Perspectives.
Have you perchance detected an apologetic trend flowing through our contemporary culture? I am thinking about the urge to apologize big time; like on "reality TV" or rolling over backwards because of some war crimes or tribal confusion that happened centuries ago. Sincere apologies may have some value under the right circumstances, especially when conveyed in the relative dignity offered in private. Public apologies? Here I have to be more skeptical, as I would note a tendency for such things to be staged and hypocritical.
Excuse My Apologetic Tendencies, the feature story in this issue, was written out of such concerns. Here's a young man who has really devoted himself to apologizing, it has become a strong urge. Roman Trend's story is also available as an audiobook (MP3 file), which conveys the playful big city setting rather well, I think. You can listen to the audiobook at Noveltycast - The Literary Showcase, www.audioselect.org/podcast.
“No Means No” – A Kimberly Bennett story – Reviewed by Website Examiner is the first article in the Perspectives section. It is my pleasure to welcome this exciting new author on board! The full short story is available for your reading pleasure at our website, www.audioselect.org/novelty.
There you will also find a link to the online version of Website Examiner's review: A click on the book cover image will bring you to Ms. Bennett's personal website; a click on the link at the bottom of the review will bring you directly to her online store, where the book and e-book are available for purchase.
The Perspectives section finishes with Fiction Factory's article entitled Protecting Your Copyright. The online version has gained a steady audience and some inbound links; certainly, it is practical advice worthwhile thinking about and maybe even acting upon.
I do hope that is enough for ya'll. If not, please send me an email.
