Yup, BTD's been carbonated, folks. How come? Well, the July issue has an exclusive extract from Heidi James' new novel Carbon, due out later this year on BLATT. We also have Lee Rourke's interview with Heidi, which he did specially for this issue. And the sparkle dun't end there, cos we've got new writing from Karl Koweski, Mather Schneider, Joe Nikita, Mathias Nelson, Zach King-Smith, Trevor Mitchell and A D Winans. To read, head beer. And if that little lot dun't pop your cork, well grab yourself a box of tissues and beat a hasty retreat here... ha ha, suckers... every time! Oh and the August issue is gonna be open to all writers too. It has a theme - Love & Hate. Yeah, I know, I said I wouldn't do another themed edition - so sue me! Submission deadline 31st July 09.
