E-zine Happenstance First Issue

Happenstance, life happens has a little of this and little of that. It is a digital only publication. I am looking for content ideas and for submissions. Eventually there will be advertising in the magazine, but that's down the road. I'm building my subscriber list so your input is vital. When you get the link to access the magazine, I will very much appreciate you forwarding it on to anyone who you think might be interested. I welcome constructive criticism.

What will you find in Happenstance, life happens? Artist profiles, human interest stories, food and entertaining, travel tips, book reviews, articles about what makes Las Vegas unique and much, much more. Advertising rates will be reasonable so if you are interested in advertsing, please contact fsharon@msn.com for a rate sheet.

For those of you who have not seen my Featured Author interview at yellow30.com, check it out. Thanks to Steven Fivecats and the team at the website who have been generous in the attention they have given my work. It is greatly appreciated. Steven, by the way, has a great book of poetry. You will find my review of his book at vandermeerbooks.com

Happenstance, Life Happens

Look for it. March 5 is the launch date for Happenstance, a digital publication published and largely written by me.

The first issue will feature an article entitled Preservation and Prosperity, how communities can find value by evaluating existing architectural, cultural and historical assets. This is by no means a new topic but success stories across the country suggest in these difficult economic times it is imperative to build on the bones of what already exists. The featured agency is the Las Vegas Citizens' Committee for Historic Preservation.

Look for How is Lisa Doing? A Love Story, about a family coping with cancer.

Have you ever wanted to start a journal but keep putting it off? Journal Writing in Five Easy Steps will inspire you to go from thought to page.

Happenstance Reviews look at a cleverly written book of poetry by Steven Fivecats, and a favorite magazine of the publisher, Guideposts.

There is more, but you have to wait and find out what that is. Look for Happenstance. It will be sent to subscribers to the www.vandermeerbooks.com newsletter and posted on the website.
