OK, I'll put the caveat emptors right up front.  I've published in the magazine.  The critical point is why I have published there.I'm primarily a novelist (8 sci-fi thrillers and counting).  The short story is not my common medium for spinning a yarn, but I have written many.  With the advent of the eBook, I immediately decided to go the eBook route with my novels.  I also immediately thought that how nice would it be if an eZine would appear that features new (and old) talent, from poems to short stories to serialized novellas and novels.eFiction Magazine is that eZine.  Generally speaking, every issue has a theme.  Sure, some of the content is better than the average in an issue, but that average is pretty high.  In spite of receiving one rejection...sigh...I think the editorial board does an excellent job.  And Doug, the mastermind editor behind the whole thing, always seems to have new and refreshing ideas.For all readers out there, you can squeeze in one of these stories on a coffee break or at a meeting when your boss practices his verbosity.  They're generally uncomplicated tales in the O. Henry and Edgar Allan Poe tradition.  There is a lot of entertainment packed in this easily downloadable package.In fact, I would have subscribed even if they didn't publish my work.  It was exactly what I was looking for.  For all readers interested in quality writing, welcome to the 21st century.  Welcome to eFiction!Note: the eFiction website has groups for readers, writers, and contributors. You can also share your work and have it critiqued, although that's probably a tit-for-tat process.  Take a look...you might like the eFiction family you'll find there.
