There’s is rumor going around, this may be the final issue of Action Yes.
Though only a rumor, it doesn’t help that said rumor was started by an AY editor.

People say things. Especially small press publishers who work endless hours for little or no pay. It’s well known that Tarpaulin Sky Press’s publisher has quit his job 137.5 times.
We’ll keep you posted on the fate of Action Yes. In the meantime, check out the new issue, which is — as always — a stunner.
