One of my first introductions to short works of fantasy and science fiction was in the pages of the digest sized magazines that my mother also loved. I was 11 or 12 when I first started reading them. Amazing Stories! FANTASTIC! Analog. The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Those were some of my favorites. And then that new one came along: Asimov's Science Fiction. The short stories in those magazines introduced me to many of my favorite authors. And, in time, they offered me some of my first publication opportunities. I still subscribe.
The fantasy and science fiction genres have seen many magazines come and go over the decades. Sometimes I feel old when I think that one of my first commercial publications was in FANTASTIC! a magazine gone for many years now. So I am always happy to see a new magazine open its pages. This one is for French readers and writers.
Chimeres will commence publication on September 27, 2024. Victor Battaggion will be editor in chief. And I am very pleased to say that I had a very enjoyable time being interviewed, and that interview will appear in the first issue of the magazine.
