Innovate e-magazine issue 2

INNOVATE is a new literary and artistic e-magazine, devoted to bringing original and thought-provoking features from established and up-and-coming authors, artists and performers, as well as to pioneer new frontiers with enhanced media. We are proud to keep up our tradition of author interviews with Brien Foerster, archaeologist, pre-historian and writer on Peru, S America and the Pacific. Introuding the Artist Interview, we have Tamala Baldwin, talented young American singer and performer. Our Art Feature this month is Art Zeal, a fascinating new home for artists on the web. Guest Feature is Ingrid Hall, on the Highs and Lows of being an Independent Author. We have short stories by Elizabeth Audrey Mills, KD Rose and Mark Fleming as well as a short thriller from Eric J Gates and naval alternate history by Aaron Sargon. Serialised stories continue with Grey Wolf's alternate history The Library and Swaroop Acharjee's Beyond Nemesis, will Sherlock Holmes save the Titanic! Biting political satire is provided by the sharp and witty mind of Alec Hawkes, whilst in contrast the Poets' Corner examines the theme of Hopeless Love. We introduce the monthly Art Gallery with works from artists including Derek Roberts, Louise Fletcher and Hilary Bryanston. Rebekah Pierce provides a thoughtful note with her article on the Edutainment Value of Historical Fiction.
