Laura Stamps, an accomplished poet who ably weaves visual images into her written tapestry, has joined the Hawkwind family of writers. Her first collection, Everyday Esctasy and Other Poems, is now posted.
We have received many submissions from new and previously published writers and are working on them now.
Scott Malby will have several new poems added to his collection in the next few days.
Harry Buschman continues to add to his impressive collection of short stories. Three new stories will be posted soon.
We ask that you keep my daughter Jorah Long, our co-publisher/editor, in your prayers as she undergoes treatment for cancer. As many of you know, Jorah has created many of the great page layouts on our site and was solely responsible for the creation and presentation of our Words on the Wind collection that deals with the attacks on America on Sept. 11, 2001.

Tina Hess has published her first collection of poetry entitled "Litter Eight." The collection is now available for download online at this Web address: http://www.sunnypub.com/littereightinfo.shtml. This is the electronic version, with paperback and CD formats to be available later this fall.
Tina was one of the first authors to participate in Hawkwind and we have always been impressed with her insightful writing. Please check out her new book. Congratulations Tina!
Hawkwind is pleased to announce that Allen Itz, a most wonderful and expressive poet, is the recipient of our second Hawkwind Featured Writer honor.
Allen was one of the first contributors to Hawkwind and we knew from the onset that he was a writer of special talent. He is indeed a craftsman who can tell a deep and lasting story in just a few words.
His most recent collection entitled Random Acts of Middle Age Reflection is spellbinding. It is a collection one will be compelled to read from start to finish.
Harry Buschman has been given the ShadowKeep Zine Award for 2001 in recognition "For unequalled writing wisdom and advice." Congratulations Harry from all your friends and fans at Hawkwind.
We also wish to call you attention to Harry's new story about Christmas called The Last Believer. It is certainly one you won't want to miss.
Marie Eyre has added three poems to her collection and will soon submit a children's Christmas story. She says it's a 'rather different' Christmas fantasy entitled "Christmas Comes To Cherubia" and takes place on a planet of angels.
Marie's work can also be found on the following sites: Mentress Moon - poetry and art; Nectarzine - poetry; and Cenotaph Pocket Edition - flash fiction.
Terry Lowenstein recently found out that she has work (5 different poems) in three upcoming anthologies. Two of the three books are books put together because of the events of September 11 and will be available at Barnes and Noble. She reported she also heard again from Storyhouse (this is a company that prints poetry and articles on the labels for their coffee). Her work was accepted and the coffee with her poetry on it will be available after Nov. 14th. The Pedestal Magazine accepted as well the poetry she wrote because of the events of September 11. They are part of their issue online now.
From time to time the parenting magazines that publish her articles also publish them online on their web pages. You can read an article that has been printed in Northwest Baby and Child. The article is "My Mother's Gift."
Hawkwind is pleased to announce that Harry Buschman, a very prolific and accomplished short story writer, is the recipient of our first Hawkwind Featured Writer honor.
Harry has been a strong supporter of Hawkwind since our inception and has honored us with several of his short story selections. Please check out Harry's new page for an ever growing list of his stories. Congratulations Harry.
Many of our readers have commented on our special Words on the Wind section, which was conceived as a tribute to the thousands of victims lost on September 11, 2001 by the attack on America in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
This special presentation was conceived, planned and brought to completion by the untiring efforts of our Co-Publisher/ Editor Jorah Long. Jorah's artistic representations are found throughout Hawkwind and have helped mold our image into one in which we all take great pride.
Jorah's writings are also found in Hawkwind.
Co-Publisher Barbara Burrow started her column "Words from Windsong" a couple of months ago and will be adding to it from time to time as events merit. Barbara also has some of her poetry in Hawkwind. Please check out her column and write her if there is something you would like included.
