Thank you to all who entered the Wild Strawberries "One Black Cat, One Chicken" contest, a search for the best flash fiction story or prose poem about animals left behind and living in New Orleans after the flood. Congratulations to contest winner Dawn Shepler Shimp! Her winning entry, Feral, will appear in issue four of Wild Strawberries. Updated July 14, 2006 _______ Dear Wild Strawberries subscribers, contributors and potential contributors, Wild Berries Press, based in New Orleans, was effected by Hurricane Katrina. We are slowed down, but not stopped! We are printing more copies of Wild Strawberries issue three and sending them out to contributors and subscribers who have not received them yet. To order a copy or to subscribe, please click on the "order" link above. Issue four will be next in production, but will be released later than expected. N.O.L.A. Spleen will continue on a variable publication schedule. Issues already filled will be produced and distributed, but later than expected. The dachshund chapbook anthology is still in the works, but will also be further delayed. If you have sent a hard copy submission by postal mail to Wild Berries Press in New Orleans and have not yet received a response, you are welcome to resend. (Some hard copy submissions were damaged by flood water.) ***Update: Please do not send anything by postal mail to New Orleans. The mail is not being forwarded consistently. I will post a new p.o. box address here soon. Thank you.*** If you have sent an electronic submission, you DO NOT need to resend it. Please be patient; I will try to respond as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and support, and for your interest in Wild Strawberries. A big thank you, also, to my wonderful writer and editor colleagues who have helped me get Wild Berries Press going again. Your donations and encouragement are much appreciated.
