From the Editor's Laptop:Welcome back to another delicious issue of your favorite e-zine which features writers from countries such as Canada, Australia, Norway, and Texas. We have a cast of regulars including Sigge's foray into pet store erotica and Johnny Hughes with a tale about cowboys and Indians. This issue also marks the return of two former Truckin' scribes with Katitude's road story about motorcycles and pie, and Australian playboy Johnny Vincent's tale about booze and hermits. Tenzin McGrupp makes another cameo with a short story. And I penned a bit of fiction.
The scribes write at Truckin' for free, so please do us huge favor and help spread the word about your favorite stories. Tell your legions of friends on Facebook about us. Tweet your favorite story. We all appreciate the help and your generosity will improve your karma.
If anyone is interested in being added to the mailing list or writing for a future issue, then please to contact us.
As always, I can never thank the writers enough for sharing their blood work. They all take a blind leap of faith with me every month and I'm eternally grateful. They inspire me and keep this little e-zine humming along month after month.
And lastly, thanks to all of the readers for their unwavering support. That's you. If you're reading this... you rock.
Be good,
McG
