NEWS! "Ships Passing in the Night: Romance and Marriage between Lovers from Anti-Synchronous Worlds" is coming out in October in the Mad Scientist Journal

I just recently learned that "Ships Passing..." will be published in its real quarterly book in Autumn 2016 (October) rather than only online.  The Mad Scientist Journal bills itself as "The Academic Journal for the Misunderstood Genius" and "The World's Only Reliable Newspaper."

The “Ships Passing” title is a reference to a lines from happy romance contained within the epic poem “Tales of a Wayside Inn” by Longfellow. The lines are:

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,

Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;

So, on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,

Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
