As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, this is a much down-sized, and very late version of my zine.  The on-line magazine is usually a scaled-down version of the magazine I put in POD, the alternate history Amateur Press Association magazine.  To be honest, my contribution to July POD wasn't worth putting on-line. It was thrown together starting about two days before the deadline, and it showed.   Life has been pushing in on my writing time for the last several issues, and this time it managed to completely shut me down for nearly two months. 

I decided to wait until I had something worth putting on-line.  Unfortunately, that took a lot longer than I expected it to.  This is a labor of love though, and I don't have to sacrifice quality to meet a dead-line.   I do try to impose a deadline on myself in order to maintain my self-discipline, but if getting an issue up on time means putting up junk, I try to avoid that..   

In any case, this is not a bad issue now.  It continues the time-line where Hitler doesn't declare war on the US after Pearl Harbor.  It reviews a very good book of Pacific War what-ifs.  It also explores a couple of rather off-the-wall what-ifs.  Sometimes I like to just take an idea and have fun with it.  The "Artemus Quiggley" and "Flintstones" time-lines are just me having fun.
