I never veer if a black cat walks in front of me. I open my umbrella before going outside. If the best path is under a ladder, then that’s my route. And thirteen is my lucky number.
Luck. Some got it good; some got it bad. Reading this issue of moonShine (which marks our thirteenth year as a publication), we could opine these folks make their own luck, mostly with disastrous results—but, oh, how fun it is to watch the disasters unfold.
Funny, what we accept in fiction can be a far cry from our notions about acceptable behavior in reality. I’d be appalled to discover my priest had sexual urges yet find it quite amusing herein. I recoil when the news reports a murder but feel a gleeful satisfaction in the demise of some of these characters.

Imagine yourself tucked in a cabin far from the noise of everyday life. In this cozy, wood-beamed den, we gather close as fireplace logs blaze against the blizzard just beyond the paneled walls. Rapt, we listen to Uncle Larry spin a yarn of other days, about people we don’t know—wonder at the truth within these tales.
We’re pleased to announce the release of moonShine review contributor Richard Allen Taylor’s latest book of poetry. Armed and Luminous offers an enigmatic and cohesive tale centered around the question, “what if angels…” Taylor entices us to expel our preconceived notions regarding angels—and some of the bigger questions of life. As always, Richard charms us with his innate talent for capturing the personal, intimate details while conveying universal messages.
