Spectra Magazine – Issue 1
Feels like we’ve been working on Spectra Magazine for ever (longer, even) but the launch issue has finally been sent off for approval and publication on iPad, Kindle and the iBook Store. So we thought you might like a sneak preview of the front cover, and more details on what’s inside issue 1. Without further ado, welcome to Spectra Magazine:
Issue 1 of Spectra Magazine is expected to land on September 1st (regrettably we can’t be more accurate, as we’re at the mercy of the e-book store operators), with artwork by Matt Bateman inspired by our lead fantasy story from Hugo Award winning author Kristine Kathryn Rusch. We’ll also have news, reviews, competitions and the best in science fiction, horror and fantasy stories from the talented pens of Kim Falconer, Brian Dolton and S. Boyd Taylor.
Over the next few days we’ll feed you sneak previews from Spectra’s launch issue stories, but for now, feast your eyes on the epic content we’ve prepared for all you fiction loving e-readers.
