Letter from the Previous Editor

by Charles Templeton

Did you catch that? Previous. Yes, my wife, Sandra, and I are stepping down from our roles as Art editor and Acquisitions editor of one of the best literary magazines currently online, eMerge. Can you tell that I am extremely proud of what we have been able to accomplish? The last five years have been remarkably rewarding for my family, Cat, Sandra, and me. Cat will stay on as the Coding Guru for eMerge as we welcome the Colony’s newest member and current editor of eMerge, Joy Clark on board. It has been both a pleasure and honor for us to be able to encourage and nurture the writers and supporters of the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow by providing a platform where their voices can be heard, and their humanity shared.

We will provide Joy with our unwavering support in her new role at the Colony and we wish her only the best as she grows and enhances eMerge. It is our sincere desire that you welcome her to our family of creative writers and insightful readers. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your humanity with us over the past few years. You have truly been a blessing to us. So, keep in touch and keep writing. And if you need a place to write ... I know of a wonderful little Colony in the Ozarks!

As the Sun sets in the West,
I Remain,
Just another old cattle rustling Zororastafarian trying to figure out why he is getting older and wider instead of older and wiser ...
