Bewildering Stories welcomes...

Gerald Budinski

Mr. Budinski joins the ranks of engineers among our contributors and, in western New York state, lives close to a hotbed of Bewildering Stories activity in Ontario. Gerald has taken up writing fiction in retirement and must be wondering: “Why didn’t I do this earlier...?” He’s published widely, and two of his stories have been nominated as Story South’s choices for the best of 2005.

“Exit from Xanadu,” in this issue, is a humorous kind of Jiggs & Maggie with a dark Walter Mitty twist. Of course we know Myra will get off when the police can’t find a body. But it may take a little while: nobody will want to come back from the real Xanadu on the other side of the tesseract...

Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Gerald. We hope to hear from you again soon and often!
