A very good day to you all, seekers of Paradise. It just doesn't seem like a month since the last missive does it? To be fair, that's largely because it isn't. Submissions for the Paradise newsletter come thick and fast these days and there's no let up in the quality so like the early Christian church we're getting the Word out there as fresh out of the Prophet's mouth as we can muster.
As soon as one newsletter is published, work begins on the next and we keep the printing press constantly on standby. That's why we can bring you the reviews, the interviews and analysis of everything from Hunter S Thompson's views on gambling to how to make crazy loot on reality TV. And from today we have reopened the doors of the Newsletter forum where you can discuss any of the articles with the authors. Just click the link at the bottom of the piece and post away.
Our name be Paradise and we love you long time.
Regards
Jamdog

A big thank-you to our contributors: Doctor of Danger, Grasshopper, Odds Against, Ian Davies, Saint Paulo and R Hills is God.
