Alas, I must start with sad news about Justin E. A. Busch:
Hi George,
This is Erin, Justin’s partner. Sadly, he has been in a state of decline since his cancer came back, and he is not currenty capable of writing. In all likelihood, there won’t be any other Fanfaronades.
There’s some more here: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/justin.busch
Please feel free to forward the news. I am checking his email periodically and people can also contact me directly if need be
Sorry to be the bearer of sad news,
Erin

More fanzines to share, enjoy!

From  R-Laurraine Tutihasi in Arizona, PurrMew86

is always an enjoyable read. First thing I look for is the critter cam pictures and of course, Mike’s astronomy shots. This issue of Purrmews has a photo of his observatory dome.

From the 3NF, N3FReview202106

N3FReview202106

George Phillies writes:

Under modern conditions, it should not be surprising that mundane-world politics rears its ugly head in fandom. For this issue, we have a reasonably solid policy. Political opinions of reviewers are off-limits here, not to be discussed. Political opinions seen within books, because there is politics within books, are fair game, but comparisons with real-world politics are in general not suitable. The review discusses the book, not the author, so discussions of the author’s politics ‘You should dislike this book because the author is not a monarchist’ are not suitable for publication here. The last rule must be somewhat flexible; note the recent review of a book by Rebecca Roanhorse, in which the book and aspects of the author’s life were inseparable.

And remember, opinions of characters may not be opinions of the author. The hero of the book may be the last High Priest of Huitzilopochtli, thrust by magic into the 21st century and desperately trying to stage an authentic god-feeding ceremony before the sun goes out, but that does not mean that the author is plotting to cut out your heart.
