August Update

• What inspired Heraclius's amazing military victories?
  
• What was Nero doing as Rome burned?
  
• And what exactly happened at the bloody Battle of Red Cliffs?

These are the subjects of three stories that we have accepted into our anthology this month.

Our apologize for the lateness of this update. Unfortunately, we received very few submissions over the past couple months, and at the moment, Matters Most Extroardinary has 9 accepted pieces out of the 15-20 that we're aiming for before online publication. We're still hoping for 2010 publication, but we may have to push the date to early 2011 if we don't receive enough submissions in the coming months.
