From the Editor... This is the first issue devoted to a particular subject area of glbt literature. While there are reviews of film and books on other subjects and genres in this issue, John Charles (one of our editors) has done a survey of transgender literature , both fiction and non-fiction. The survey is not exhaustive by any means; and another writer undoubtedly would have come up with a different list of books for the survey; but perhaps this survey will foster additional interest in this often neglected subject.  We
regret that Jak Klinikowski will not be contributing an episode of The Adventures of Ineeda
Willingbottom this issue; but Ineeda is getting ready for her
wedding —and we all know how long it takes a drag queen to get
ready
for anything. So we will hold our breaths until next issue...As usual, we have book and film reviews from regular contributors, along with a new short short from Jay Mandal and a new story from Larry Hamilton.  Patricia
Nell Warren has provided another invaluable article—The Ultimate
Update—which points writers, small presses, and
self-publishers to
resources they need to market their work.
