I’ve had a busy, busy couple of weeks. So busy, in fact, that I was having trouble coming up with something to write about for my editorial this month. Eileen suggested I write about pie, but this year also marks Defenestration‘s TENTH volume. So in place of an editorial, here’s a list of ten pies:
1. Apple Pie
2. Cherry Pie
3. Blackberry Pie
4. Sweet Potato Pie
5. Banana Cream Pie
6. Key Lime Pie
7. Rhubarb Pie
8. Pecan Pie
9. Steak and Kidney Pie
10. Bacon and Honeydew Melon Pie
Anyway… this is a meaty issue. There isn’t a whole lot of actual meat in it (well, some meat), but there are fourteen contributors this time around. Some are familiar faces, and some are brand new. Enjoy! And when you’re done digesting all of it, think about submitting something. We’re once again open for short story and poetry submissions. Help us make our August 2013 issue amazing!
