From the Editorial
After many delays, I am pleased that SONNETS & ROSES is finally complete and In your hands. It has taken much longer than I had ever intended to assemble the material here, and I hope you feel that it was worth the effort and the wait. Many of you sent SASE's requesting Information on SONNETS & ROSES before I had even received the first submission. This is also my first attempt at editing a zine and hereafter, I will have only the utmost respect for any zine ed who undertakes such a project.
It is frustrating, and thoroughly enjoyable, all at the same time. It has been an interesting experience and I have discovered that: there are definite difficulties in writing for an ongoing and developing series. In the wink of an eye, or the hour of an episode, a short story that has been in the works for weeks or months is suddenly out of line with the "facts" established by the series writers. Still, most of the stories here hold up remarkably well in light of those facts, even though some were written a year or more ago.
I would like to express my thanks to all of you who have supported and encouraged this project with your letters and your interest. And a special thank you to the poets out there who are still brave enough to attempt a sonnet when a zine ed begs. They put the Sonnet in SONNETS & ROSES. I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone who's [sic] letter I have been unable to answer. I was corresponding with quite a few BATB fans when I announced my intention to do a zine (way back when). The zine work, coupled with the birth of our third child, meant there was little time left for personal letters. I miss talking with all of you and hope, now, to be able to catch up a bit, and perhaps, get back to my own writing as well
