Shannon Raab Creative Director January 2013 is upon us, which means that anybody that believed in the Mayan calendar was Romaine Reeves wrong, which is a good thing. However, now I’m CFO another year older, and that is a bad thing. I had Starr Gardinier Reina another letter written for this month, but like with Executive Editor any good suspense/thriller book we got thrown a major curve ball, and that happened to everyone Terri Ann Armstrong Executive Editor outside of the pages of the book with the horrific tragedy that happened in Newtown, Connecticut. Jim Thomsen When something like this happens, questions Copy Editor start to be asked that will never be answered. We, the readers and authors of this genre, Contributors live in a world filled with violence and horror; however, those are simply the words and Donald Allen Kirch imagination of the author writing them. Mark P. Sadler We read books to get away from everyday life and the negative forces that threaten Susan Santangelo DJ Weaver to harm us. Hearing what happened in Newtown touched me deeply as a parent of four CK Webb children. It affected our family, to realize that anything can happen at any time in a blink Kiki Howell Kaye George of an eye. When we read within the pages the chase scenes of an action-adventure, or the Weldon Burge works of a brilliant detective solving a crime that we thought was not solvable, we would Ashley Wintters rather leave these types of events within the pages of a book. Scott Pearson D.P. Lyle M.D. Since 1995, there have been seventy different school shootings in America, and Claudia Mosley this does not include the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, or the shootings in countless Christopher Nadeau Kathleen Heady workplaces. While one is way too many, seventy is a number that is unconscionable. Stephen Brayton Whatever life throws at you, we as readers at least have an escape for a couple of hours to Brian Blocker leave the world behind and put ourselves into a world of intrigue and suspense. Authors Andrew MacRae Val Conrad spend countless hours on entertaining their audience by creating fictional characters and Laura Alden worlds. And 2013 promises to be another great year for readers as the writing in the genre Melissa Dalton Elliott Capon just keeps getting better. J.M. LeDuc We, the Suspense Magazine team, send our prayers to all the families affected in Holly Price Newtown and all over the United States and the world that have had to live through Kari Wainwright David Ingram a senseless tragedy that took someone we loved and cared about. Remember that we Bill Craig love books because we don’t want the real world in our pages, and vice versa. Let’s also Jodi Hanson Amy Lignor remember to respect and cherish the time we have with each other and keep our families Susan May and friends safe. J.S. McCormick While you might be thinking of a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, stop smoking, Kestrel T. Andersen Cassandra McNeil no more talking on your cell phone while driving, or simply stop holding up the checkout Jenny Hilborne line in the supermarket for a pack of gum (use the self serve line), also think about how Tanya Contois Sharon Salonen you can make a positive difference in someone’s life.

It had no head. The breath of its mouth had a foul odor; its body one rod long and one rod wide. It had no voice. Their hearts became confused through it. Then they laid themselves on their bellies. They went to the Pharaoh to report it. His Majesty ordered an examination of all which is written in the papyrus rolls of the House of Life. His Majesty was meditating upon what happened. Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of the four supports of the heavens. Powerful was the position of the fire circles. The army of the Pharaoh looked on with him in their midst. It was after supper. Thereupon, these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south. The Pharaoh caused incense to be brought to make peace on the hearth. And what happened was ordered by the Pharaoh to be written in the annals of the House of Life so that it be remembered forever.” —The FiRST historically recorded report of an “unidentified flying object.”— Egypt, 22 aD. * * * Since before man knew what they were, before the scientific theory of flight and before language was even born, there have been strange and unexplainable things flying through the skies of our planet earth. During World War II, they were called “Foo Fighters.” During the Cold War they were labeled “Flying Saucers” and SuspenseMagazine.com 3 “Unidentified Flying Objects,” “UFOs” for short. When the Air Force had been assigned to investigate these incidents of “high strangeness,” they did so under the arena of “Project Blue Book.” In thousands of catalogued case files, over seven hundred of these encounters were labeled “unexplainable” by the officers of the United States government. There is intelligent life out there in the galaxy, and they have been here before! They have been visiting us, leaving their mark upon history, society, and individual lives. With every unknown, there are an intrepid group of people who seek answers. In the field of UFOs…they are the UFOlogists. These are people who believe in the mathematical formula: n = R* fpne fl fi fc L In other words, there are so many stars in our universe that if only one in a billion is a star such as our sun with planetary bodies orbiting them, and if only one in a billion of these planets are anything CLOSE to our earth, then, by the simple language of math there are at least 2,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets capable of supporting life as we understand the term—narrowing it down—”oxygen-carbon” life. Even more simplified: Just under three million-million intelligent forms of life in our galaxy—ALONE! Of these life forms at least 10,000 intelligent civilizations exist that can either communicate or are capable of what we understand as “space flight.” No bureaucrat in Washington can ignore this simple truth. * * * Now is when this article starts to sound like an old episode of Dragnet. THE STORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS TRUE * * * The incident in question had once been a “catalogued” report registered through the UFO organization known as MUFON and NOT confidential.

  • Domino by Kathleen Jones
    Domino by Kathleen Jones Domino was an amazing phenomenon in the annals of American thoroughbred breeding. He exists in the pedigrees of perhaps half of the recent stakes winners in this country, yet that he appears in any is a miracle. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Domino was dark brown colt with a peculiar coat which appeared to change color depending on in which light it was viewed. (The coat of Equipoise, Domino's great grandson, was similar in nature.) On cloudy days, his coat was dark as coal, yet in bright sunlight, people would swear they had seen a chestnut horse. He was known by several racing nicknames including "the brown phenomenon" and "the black whirlwind". He was foaled at Major Barak Thomas' Dixiana Farm, a son of the speedy Himyar, and the stakes producing mare Mannie Gray. He was his dam's ninth foal, and she had already produced the good runners TEN STRIKE (by Ten Broeck), BANDALA (by King Ban), and the great handicap mare CORRECTION (by Himyar) for whom the present-day Correction Handicap is named. Domino was a beautiful specimen of a horse, and Thomas sent him to the Tattersall's yearling sales with high expectations. For a sale in which the average selling price was $895, Domino fetched an eye-popping $3000 (the second top price of the sale). The new owner was Foxhall Keene. Keene placed the colt in the capable hands of African-American yearling-handler Albert Cooper, who broke and trained the young horses for the Keenes. The colt worked a quarter mile at Coney Island in such fast time that Cooper was certain his watch had malfunctioned.

  • My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written By: Jerry D
    My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 20 May 2017 Article Number: 259-2017-15 The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing, better known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The three races were inaugurated in different years, the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875. These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year. The Triple Crown Trophy, commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950, is awarded to a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown Trophy Churchill Downs thoroughbred racetrack is located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually (on the first Saturday of May). This race is nicknamed, “The Run for the Roses.” The track is named for John and Henry Churchill who provided the land. It officially opened in 1875 and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 2011. Churchill Downs Front Inside Churchill Downs The Kentucky Derby Pimlico Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racetrack in Baltimore, Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness Stakes. Its name is derived from the 1660s when English settlers named the area where the facility currently stands in honor of Olde Ben Pimlico's Tavern in London. The racetrack is nicknamed "Old Hilltop" after a small rise in the infield that became a favorite gathering place for thoroughbred trainers and race enthusiasts.

  • 144º Belmont Stakes En La TV De San Isidro
    La prueba integrará el programa del sábado 9 de junio 144º Belmont Stakes en la TV de San Isidro El próximo sábado 9 de junio el Hipódromo de San Isidro transmitirá en directo y con apuestas, las alternativas del prestigioso Belmont Stakes (G1 – 2400 metros, US$ 1.000.000), tercera y última etapa de la Triple Corona de USA, donde participarán los mejores potrillos de tres años de ese país. La competencia tendrá una particularidad histórica pues entre sus participantes estará I’ll Have Another el héroe del Kentucky Derby (G1) y del Preakness Stakes (G1), las dos primeras instancias de la serie selectiva. En caso de vencer en el Belmont Stakes, el potrillo entrará en la historia mundial y se convertirá en un nuevo triplecoronado del turf de USA, hazaña que no se concreta desde 1978, temporada en la que el legendario Affirmed derrotó a Alydar en las tres carreras de grado uno. I’ll Have Another comenzó la Triple Corona con victoria en el Kentucky Derby y a las dos semanas también se quedó con el Preakness Stakes. El próximo sábado irá por el Belmont y toda la gloria… El Hipódromo de San Isidro acercará las alternativas de una competencia histórica, en directo y con apuestas, que se sumará al programa habitual. Además, el clásico estará incluido en la programación del sábado y acompañará la realización del Clásico Santiago Lawrie (G3 – 1000 metros), para todo caballo de tres años y más edad, que se disputará sobre la pista de césped, y el Clásico Manuel Anasagasti (L – 1000 metros), para productos de dos años, que se hará en el mismo trazado.
