Submissions for this special issue should be marked for the attention of Sean O'Reilly and posted to PO Box 6016, Dublin 8 to arrive on or before Friday, 14 March 2008.
I feel interest rising already. I wonder how sales will be affected by the subject matter?

Wentworth Miller...oh my lord, I need to go and have a lie down!
If interest doesn't, er, rise after looking at that photo, there's something very wrong!
Oo, I know. I was torn between Wentworth and George (Clooney) I'm just waiting for an appropriate blog for Mr Clooney now...
P.S. I imagine competition will be stiff! (sorreee)
From the editor:
We had intended that this summer's issue (vol 2, no.10) would be the erotic issue, but we have held off on this as it has or may have become a separate entity, to be published in paperback form perhaps somewhere down the line. I'm sorry that I can't say when this will be but or if it will happen at all, but we will be sending out rejection notices soon, and I have sent some out already. So the longer you don't hear anything on this the better, however, nothing can be guaranteed.
