With Volume One, Issue Eight I am doing something new with Strawberry Press Magazine. Instead of our usual collection of stories, accompanied by one or two perspective pieces, I am dedicating the entire issue to one novella. The winter months, as it turns out, have been the hardest on our press, and things have been extraordinarily busy. Right now we’re sitting on a bunch of submissions that we haven’t had the time to give proper review to, some of which, no doubt will be included in our March issue, others which will appear on the website.

The novella that appears in the February issue of Strawberry Press Magazine is a story I wrote almost four years ago now. It’s an experimental piece that plays around a little bit with the murder mystery genre. It is called Intuition. A portion of it appeared in the December issue of our magazine as a blues piece in three parts. It appears here in its entirety.

This is actually something I would like to do with the work of other writers from time to time. I think it would be nice to publish an issue maybe once or twice a year that featured one longer short work by an author. With that much said, we are now not only looking for short story submissions, but short novel submissions as well.
