Mount Zion Town Cryer

Several weeks ago I was invited to represent MZSFR on Inside Anderson County, a local cable show that runs each week on Wednesday.  Inside Anderson County is hosted by Joseph McCulley and airs on channel 12 if your one of the few hundreds that can get it.  I was given one hour to speak and take phone calls.  In addition to the magazine and our future goals, I used this opportunity to plug about every writer I could remember.  After speaking to the producer, I was invited back a second time.  Our next appearance should accompany the release of vol. 2 issue 1.  Unfortunatly, I only got a days notice so I was unable to let many people know; this should not be a problem next time and I will post it on the blog prior to the broadcast.

Of course, for most of our readers and contributors, this is moot.  I will try to get a video to post on the blog as well.

It had to start somewhere. 

Mike and I decided we'd have a blog devoted to Mount Zion and the divers parts thereof.  Right now the biggest part is Mount Zion Speculative Fiction Review (henceforth MZSFR).  In the future we will be adding posts according to how Mount Zion Press grows. 

Why The Cryer?

 If you've read the "About Mount Zion" page on the website you know that we named the Journal after a fictional town in East Tennessee.  We have each written a couple of stories tied to Mount Zion (although none have yet been published).  Ideally we want to create a shared setting for what Jason Sizemore calls "Hillbilly Horror." 

 In coming weeks we are goin to post some information about Mount Zion, Tennessee.  Feel free to use it in stories.  Submit them to us or others.  Only add to the Mount Zion Mythos, if you are willing to share your characters with others.  This kind of thing is best done if we don't step on each others toes.  If you like a character in someone else's story, email them and ask if you can use it. 

A note on Aesthetics 

I am very unhappy about the look of The Cryer and plan to change it as soon as I can. 

Yrs.,

Ryan
