----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
It’s hard to believe another year is almost to an end. But the great
thing about an ending is the beginning it produces. And, we do celebrate
the ending of the year with our New Year’s Eve parties and the promises
we make to ourselves and others on the New Year’s Day. Beginnings and
endings create a perfect circle (despite the seeming imperfect nature of
our nature). This fine mountain morning, I think about another perfect
circle: the performer and its appreciator.
There is a fire glowing with the occasional pops and crackles that
personify a really great fire. The birds are flocking to the feeders, as
they always do when it turns chilly and bugs, seeds, and berries become
scarce. It is a silent morning, other than the nature sounds, and that
fire. And, of course, the click of my fingers tapping against the laptop
keys. I rarely pay attention to that sound, but it is a constant one in
my little log house tucked in a cove at Killian Knob. I do, however, pay
attention to Readers and how important they are, for I am only a small
arc in that circle; you all, dear Readers, are necessary to the
completion.
I’m hoping you will take the time to read in the “downtime” of your busy
lives. When is the last time you picked up a book, opened its cover, and
dived in to enter the world your favorite writer (or perhaps a new
writer you’ve never tried before) has crafted for you? Writer’s need
readers. We don’t write in a vacuum. Though writers will say, and mean
it, “I will write despite …” we all know that without you readers, our
words can echo hollow and lonely. The next time you read a book, a short
story, a poem, an essay, a magazine, think about how the writer, poet,
photographer, artist, and editorial staff has You in mind as they
crafted the work. Artists need an audience. You may not see our faces,
but there is a world of Thanks there for those who appreciate what we
give to you. We love you and want to make you happy. We want you to love
us back.
The Rose & Thorn’s fall issue is still live. If you haven’t visited and
read the poetry and prose, please stop by and do so at this link:
http://tinyurl.com/5k9zcy. Soon, our winter issue will go live; come
back and visit us in January. Our writers need you. We require you.
I wish you all good things this holiday season, and beyond.
Complete the circle.

Angie Ledbetter
----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
Now that the turkey is nothing but a carcass (great for gumbo!) and the
Christmas decorations are being hauled from the attic, it's time to make
our preliminary holiday gift shopping lists.
With all the bad news pouring from the publishing industry of late, have
you considered buying books for your favorite people this year? Our
holiday purchases can give a boost to sagging retail figures.
Bookstores, both online and brick and mortar types, are exploding with
holiday specials and great selections. Bigger stores always have sales
tables, so it's easy to grab a beautiful book of poetry, an anthology or
novel, and be on our way. I never leave empty handed when I patronize my
favorite independent book seller or big daddy chains for gift-giving
occasions. When I'm unsure of someone's reading tastes, store gift cards
are a great solution. And I dearly love the free gift wrapping some
stores offer.
Speaking of the holidays, I hope your December is full of opportunities
to curl up with a snuggly blanket, book and favorite warm beverage,
hours of quiet reading stretched before you. And if you're a writer or
poet, may the winter months provide you with leisurely hours at your
computer happily working away at your craft.
As always, we appreciate your attention to the love and care The Rose &
Thorn Literary e-zine staffers and Publisher Barbara Quinn put forth to
share the magic of good words.

THE BUZZ
---------------------------------------
POETRY COLLECTION RELEASE: ALL OF ME
Booksmyth Press is pleased to announce the release of ALL OF ME, a
collection of poems by the poet, Lea Banks. Of this startling fresh
poetic voice Alicia Ostriker has remarked: “Read Lea Banks for vitality,
read her for velocity. Dance with her if you dare, catch her if you can.
But beware—Banks is a poet of a thousand whirling metaphors. You’ll have
to move fast.” Poet and critic Carol Frost says of this remarkable
poet's first chapbook: “Carnival, whirlpool, God’s fierce whimsy,
beauty’s blackout, hot color, Devil: they all belong to Lea Banks. She
invokes the phenomenal, and from behind parted fingers her readers peek.
The poems in ALL OF ME are brave-spirited and they make all of us
braver.” This is an exceptional talent and this is her first foray into
publication with ALL OF ME. Banks explores, with a leopard's fearless
grace and glide, the many shadowed corners of the soul's jungled depths
- none who follow in her wake will fail to be inspired by the piercing
beauty of this poet's courageous clarity.

MARKETS AND CONTESTS
---------------------------------------
Readers should make sure to check sources carefully and to inquire about
references when appropriate. The Rose & Thorn cannot assume
responsibility for the sites and services mentioned below.
----------------------------------------
2RIVER
Since 1996, 2River (http://www.2river.org/) has been a site of poetry,
art, and theory, quarterly publishing The 2River View and occasionally
publishing individual authors in the 2River Chapbook Series, and, more
recently, podcasting poems and commentary from Muddy Bank, the 2River
blog. All publications first appear on-line and afterwards in print.
Before submitting to 2River, please read the guidelines. 2River is a
member of the Council of Little Magazines and Presses and is listed in
the Literary Magazine and Press Directory.
2River considers unpublished poems only. An unpublished poem is one that
has not appeared in any form of print or digital media, including
personal or public blogs. A poem from a private, online workshop,
however, would be considered, as long as the final version of the poem
does not appear in a public space. For more guidelines, click:
http://www.2river.org/office/submit.html
----------------------------------------
34th PARALLEL
34thParallel (http://www.34thparallel.net/) seeks to promote and publish
the exceptional writing of new and emerging writers rejected and or
overlooked by large commercial publishing houses and mainstream presses.
We believe that rejections are not necessarily an indication of the
merit of an author’s work.
Consequently, because we are also writers, we strive to work with
authors, nurturing their talent, always respecting individual creative
vision rather than only considering the potential for profit. With this
in mind, we hope to publish books that may not fit in mainstream
categories and that experiment with and test boundaries.
Print Magazine Specifics:
Fiction—1500 to 3500 words;
Poetry—1 poem at a time;
Artwork/Photography—500k file (in attachment)
Online Specifics:
Fiction—1500 words max;
Poetry—1 poem at a time;
Artwork/Photography—500k file (in attachment)
For guidelines, click: http://www.34thparallel.net/submit.html
----------------------------------------
XENITH
Xenith (http://www.xenith.net/) began its life as a ‘zine in 1997 as a
showcase for the writing of Generation Y. It matured as the generation
did.
Today, Xenith has grown into a creative collective that serves as a home
base for some of this generation’s most promising talent. Our recently
revived literary magazine serves as a showcase both for this community
and our talented guests.
We accept most forms and genres of writing: poetry, fiction, flash
fiction, plays, creative nonfiction, graphic novels, comics and comic
scripts, unsent letters, experimental, sci-fi, literary mainstream,
whatever. The type of writing doesn’t matter, but the quality of writing
does.
There are mild length restrictions to keep in mind, however. Your
writing can be as short as you’d like, but submitted pieces should be no
longer than 8,000 words. Those with longer pieces should query first.
For more guidelines, click: http://www.xenith.net/submissions/

The Fund supports writing that combines an engaging individual voice,
literary sensibility, imagination and intellectual rigor to bring new
perspectives and deeper meaning to the body of desert literature. All
applications will be reviewed through a peer-panel process.
Considerations in the selection process will be:
the writing sample’s artistic excellence and desert literacy,
the proposal’s strength, the biography’s ability to demonstrate a
history and future of writing and desert experience.
Deadline: December 31, 2008

DR. PAUL AUSTIN: SOMETHING FOR THE PAIN:
One Doctor’s Account of Life and Death in the ER
Interview by Kathryn Magendie
Dr. Paul Austin has been “knee-deep in emergencies” for his entire adult
life. In his twenties, he was a full-time firefighter, and since then he
has worked in emergency rooms as a nursing assistant, a medical student,
a resident physician, and most recently, as an attending physician. Dr.
Austin spent three years in residency training in emergency medicine,
and then two years as an assistant professor of emergency medicine. For
the past fourteen years, Austin worked in a group that serves a hospital
that sees fifty-eight thousand patients a year…. For the interview,

BROAD STREET
By Christine Weiser
Reviewed by Michelle Wittle
In Broad Street, Christine Weiser looks to the city of Philadelphia in
the 1990s to set the stage for her debut novel. In a time when music is
turning from the bubble gum pop sound of the ’80s and moving forward
towards the sounds of local bands who use the same three or four chords
in all their songs, Weiser’s main character, Kit, is also making a
transformation from a chick with the band to a chick in the band…

THE MOON CRACKS OPEN AND OTHER POEMS
by Marc Beaudin
Reviewed by Yu-Han Chao
In The Moon Cracks Open, Marc Beaudin writes of magpies who “talk”
endlessly and silent mountains in the morning, and how he tries to “grab
hold of something that lies between the two” (Beaudin 38). And in many
poems in this collection, he succeeds in this task, portraying vivid,
memorable images as well as expressing meaningful readings of landscape
and living beings, mostly birds…

THE DEVIL CAN WAIT: A SAM HARPER CRIME MYSTERY
By Marta Stephens
Reviewed by Kathryn Magendie
When the bodies of three teenagers wash ashore, each killed in a unique
and ritualistic way, detective Sam Harper steps on the job. As he
plunges into the mystery surrounding these murders, things aren’t always
as they first appear. Then, there is another murder, but this one seems
to be a copycat—or is it?, for while evidence can lead astray, a “dead
body never lies.” There are strange goings-on in the city of Chandler,
and the bodies will multiply if Harper doesn’t find answers. Add to the
mix lack of sleep, pressure from community leaders and colleagues, a
snarl in witnesses and the evidence, and Harper’s frustration deepens.
