Dear Reader:
With this issue, "Return to Tomorrow" takes on a new look - it is being mimeographed, a process cheaper than Xerox, so this issue is longer than previous issues. Because I have never used a mimeograph machine until now some copies of some pages may be less than perfect. Please bear with me as my mimeo skills increase. I do not have the skill nor materials to mimeograph illustrations at this time, unfortunately, but the next issue should contain at least as many illustrations as usual.
Beginning in March, "RTT" will no longer be in this form as a bimonthly zine. Instead, it will be about 80 pages long with illustrations, and will cost 3.00. Publishing irregularly will allow me to wait until I have enough really good material to fill an issue. I am working for that issue due out in March right now. The entire issue will be devoted to a Star Trek novel written by Janice Hrubes, who has written more than several times for this fanzine already. Advance orders are being accepted now.
I think it is time again to ask you to submit anything Trek related to "Return to Tomorrow". If you have a plot in mind, but don't have time to write a full length story, send an outline to me, and I'll write the story, or let someone else do it, giving you credit for the idea.
Please don't just read this issue and put it way. Send me something for publication, or a letter to tell me what I'm doing right and wrong.
In the meantime, turn the page and enjoy this portion of the Star Trek universe.
Long Live and Prosper!
- Moon Lady, fiction by Janice K. Hrubes (2)

Issue 9
Return To Tomorrow 9 was published in November 1976 and contains 10 pages.
This is the next to the last bimonthly issue of Return to Tomorrow. As you know, beginning in March, irregularly published, longer issues will come out as often as possible, the first of these, The Song of the Nargase Witch, which I am working on now, will be available in March and costs 3.00, Please tell all your Trekker friends about the novel and encourage them to order it. You can order your copy now, and be sure of getting, it as soon as it is completed (mimeographing, stapling, etc.).
