As the Story Editor of Troubadour 21, I have had the immense pleasure lately of reading many wonderful short stories and discovering some excellent authors. I have only been the story editor here for a few short weeks, but I have been involved with T21 since it was a mere gleam in our much esteemed executive editor’s eye. Carlton Smith III had the amazing idea of bringing together artists of all kinds, not just in the Detroit metro area, but from places both far and near.
