Last night, some time between 8:30 pm and 6am this morning, someone broke into the Sacred Paths Center and at least one other nearby business. Keith Vorderbruggen, Vice President of the board of directors for SPC, first alerted the community to the break in on the Sacred Paths Center Facebook page.  He came to the community center at about 10am this morning and noticed that the front door was boarded up and unusable.  He then entered the building from the ally door.  The police had already been through SPC and had dusted for prints before Keith had arrived.

PNC spoke with Executive Director, Teisha Magee.  She said that little appears to have been stolen from SPC except for a small amount of cash,  “They took about $40 in coins from the cash register, but missed the donation jar.”  Property damage includes broken doors, the cahs register, and locked drawers that the burglars forced open.  Until the front door can be replaced, Sacred Paths Center is closed for business.  Teisha says they are spending the day cleaning, working with their landlord, insurance company, and the police.  As of yet, the police do not have any leads in this investigation.

They are interested in short stories which feature the Gods, Goddesses, heroes, holy days, traditions, and practitioners of every Pagan path. Any genre — from science fiction to mystery to fantasy to romance — is welcome. Stories ranging from an ancient murder mystery featuring Hermes, to a devotee of Eir working at a modern hospital, to Pagan colonists adapting to life on an alien world, to a retelling of a myth are all appropriate.

They are also interested in a *limited* number of nonfiction essays concerning Pagan literature, but ask that you query the editor before submitting an essay to make sure that it will work for this anthology.

Length: 100 to 10,000 words.
Submissions Period: 1 January 2011 through 30 June 2011.
Projected release date of August 2011, in both print and digital formats.
