    About this ebook

    Waylines is a magazine of science-fiction, fantasy, and horror. Our goal is to capture the "bang" in speculative fiction - that mindbending, wow factor.

    Issue 2 features interviews with authors Minister Faust and Marly Youmans and film maker John Williams and the the following three stories:

    1 KC Ball takes us inside a joke, and makes us re-examine the boundaries of the reality we think we inhabit in, Stop Me if you’ve Heard This One.

    2 Sean Eads takes us into a dark wasteland where a boy discovers the secrets of his society and world in, The Seer.

    3 Eric Del Carlo brings us to the edge of a world destroyed by pollution and prejudice in, The Air That I Breath

    Waylines Media

    Waylines is a magazine of science-fiction, fantasy, and horror. Our goal is to capture the "bang" in speculative fiction - that mindbending, wow factor. So we aren't limiting ourselves to a specific style of story or even media format. In every issue we publish fiction and poetry, stream short speculative films and are aiming to run short comics. Prepare to be blown away.

      Issue 2, just like Issue 1, was a pleasure to put together. We had a lot of fun finding our latest batch of stories and films, working with all the writers and film makers, and getting all these wonderful interviews (a whopping nine!). So have as much fun as we had, welcome to Waylines – Issue 2!

      Issue 2 would also not have been possible without the help of our newly acquired team of First Readers. These dedicated souls have handled the submissions that keep pouring in to us (1100 so far) with the utmost devotion and care. If you are interested in meeting them, their bios can be found on the About page.

      And now that we are up on our feet thanks to all those Kickstarters, all those First Readers, all those writers & film makers, and all you readers, Issue 2 seems like a good place for us to announce some of the goals we have for Waylines Magazine for the near and not so near future.

      1) We want to become a Science Fiction Writer’s of America (SFWA) eligible market. This would mean that our authors would be a step closer to membership of SFWA if they were published in Waylines.

      2) We would like to fund the magazine through subscriptions and advertising. Kickstarter campaigns are great, and we got our initial start this way, but for sustainability, we need to look at other options. So we will eventually be making the Digital Download edition available as a subscription purchase, but for now is set up as a Pay What You Want format (which includes FREE at the moment).

      3) We would like to move to publishing four stories per issue (possibly one exclusive to our Digital Download Edition), and also explore the possibility of publishing flash fiction, and longer works.

      And we have lots of other ideas brewing in our alchemy lab, but are waiting to see if we can get all the right ‘ingredients’ in order first. For now, we hope the goals that we’ve mentioned will give you a little glimpse at Waylines’ future direction (and also give an idea of how we could be helped).

      But let’s get back to the issue at hand – Issue 2. As always, we have three short stories and three short films, all of which we are very excited about. We also have a feature with the critically acclaimed, Kindred award winning novelist, Minister Faust, and our regular Writer’s Room feature, where Alisa caught up with the always charming, Marly Youmans. Now on to the stories!

      K. C. Ball takes us inside a joke, and makes us re-examine the boundaries of the reality we think we inhabit in, Stop Me if you’ve Heard This One.

      Sean Eads takes us into a dark wasteland where a boy discovers the secrets of his society and world in, The Seer.

      And…

      Eric Del Carlo brings us to the edge of a world destroyed by pollution and prejudice in, The Air That I Breath.

      For our films this issue, we have:

      Pixels, the amazingly fun video game invasion by Patrick Jean .

      The Gate, a creepy, powerful (and soon to be a feature) film about an outbreak of mutants in the city by Matt Westrup

      And finally...

      The touching tale of a boy and his robot in John William’s Paraphernalia.

      We hope you enjoy the stories, the films and the interviews with all of their creators.

      If you want to send us a message, you can do so on our site, and we can also be found at Facebook and Twitter.

      Also, Waylines is gearing up for Year Two and will be running our fund raising campaign from January 10-February 10, 2014. If you like the magazine, think about heading over to our Kickstarter campaign then. There are pledge rewards like posters, bookmarks, and our Zero Issue - an issue made just for our supporters. Help make Year Two a reality.

      For now, enjoy Issue 2! Safe Journeys!

      Sincerely,

      D & D

      Our featured author for issue 2 is Minister Faust, a Kindred award winning author, who is about to release Volume 2 of his War and Mir series this year. He is also busy at work on putting out new editions of his earlier work, and getting involved in graphic novels and even the movies.

      He has been described as Samuel Delany, Harlan Ellison and Ishmael Reed all rolled into one, and he’s also been a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award.

      We caught up with him and asked him about his thoughts on everything from indie publishing to family life to other writers.

      We hear that you’re updating many of your works. Can you tell us a little about what this means for you? Also, what new fiction can we expect to see from Minister Faust this year?

      Updating my work is not quite on the level of George Lucas adding new effects to the original trilogy, but is more like using updated technology to remove blue screen phantoms from the finished prints. In my case, I’m dedicated to the idea of making my fiction prose invisible as possible in most circumstances. Yes, sometimes I aim for beautiful prose, but much
