Thirst Issue 1
Thirst is the love child of Big Pulp , where romance meets fantasy…and science fiction and mystery and horror. You won’t find the typical romance fiction tropes—no heaving bosoms or torn bodices, no wilting wallflowers waiting for love to complete them. Instead, you’ll meet characters driven by purpose, a need they must fill, a thirst they’ll do anything to slake.
Thirst is about desire of all kinds—for love, sex, fame, money, power, acceptance, beauty, and connection. Thirst is about passion, and obsession. It’s about hunger, jealousy, need. It’s about doing what you must to get what you want. It’s about heartache. It’s about lying and cheating, deception and betrayal, sin and redemption.
And sometimes…yes, sometimes, it’s even about Love.
In this issue, you’ll meet a dancer who can have the love of any man except the one she desires, and another who must wait for her love to blossom. You’ll uncover a murder with a man who harbors a dark secret. You’ll meet a wizard willing to do anything to forget what he’s learned about love and a girl ready to unravel its mysteries.
Indulge your thirst.

About the author
Lyn Lifshin
145 books11 followersLyn Diane Lifshin (1942) is an American poet and teacher.
Born in Barre, VT, she was raised in Middlebury, VT. She earned a bachelor's degree in English from Syracuse University and a master's degree in English from the University of Vermont (writing a thesis on Dylan Thomas). She also studied at Brandeis University, the Bread Loaf School of English and attended the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference.
Lifshin moved to Schenectady, NY in the 1970s with her then husband who worked for General Electric. She enrolled in a doctoral program in English at SUNY Albany, and began submitting her work for publication. She quickly began appearing in a variety of literary magazines. When she left SUNY, she began teaching creative writing workshops at various public venues such as libraries as well as at her home in Niskayuna, NY. Eventually, she began earning a living primarily from workshops, readings, and visiting faculty positions.
Lifshin has been called "The Queen of the Lit Mags" and "The Queen of Modern Romance Poetry". Over 120 books and chapbooks of her work have been published. She has also edited 4 anthologies (appearing in innumerable others) and was the subject of the award winning documentary film, Not Made of Glass. Her work has appeared in numerous literary magazines and cultural publications, including The American Scholar, Christian Science Monitor, Ploughshares, nthWORD, Blue Lake Review, Dunes Review, and Rolling Stone Magazine.
Bibliographers and literary critics would be hard-pressed to find a literary journal that has not published at least one Lifshin poem at one time or another. To date, however, there is no comprehensive bibliography of her publications and unpublished manuscripts.
She currently divides her time between a home in Niskayuna, NY and a residence in Virginia.

I have a story in this, so I may be a tad biased
