Glossy Print and/or Digital download Dec 18, 2011 update: Publication has resumed.

Both magazines were temporarily suspended in Fall 2011 while I developed an new venue and a new shape for the magazines. 2012
signals the return of both magazines.
The Birch Clump Villager first issue of 2012 became available as of Dec. 18, 2012. That is issue "V.1 BC Villager Digest. It is the
first issue in the new 8.5 x 5.5 inch digest format. The Birch Clump Chronicle will likewise be in the new digest
size and format. Both magazines have a traditional glossy print paper edition, and a digital download version.
Birch Clump Villager is a literary and arts magazine reflecting and promoting north country living. Most short stories
are set in the Northern Great Lakes region. Most issues feature local north country artists or local businesses.
The Birch Clump Chronicle is a ministry magazine aimed at promoting Indigenous cultures and pastoral inculturation
concerns.
Both magazine will now be published at random, though I plan on having two or more issues published per year. Page number will
vary from eight to twenty pages. I suspect most BC Chronicles will be in the 8-12 page range. Most BC Villagers will probably be in the 12-20 page
range. I will continjue to offer a digital and a print version.
Art and Manuscript submissions welcomed. Details will be posted soon. Mean while feel free to contact me if you have a story, poem are item of art
you would like featured in this magazine. North country business, retail, tourism, eateries, unique shops or industries can be featured and promoted free
of charge.

Maya Calendar (BC Chronicle, 2012 V1)
Birch Clump Chronicle's special feature on the Maya Calendar is written by a Maya. No, the Maya did not predict
an end of the world. I hope to have it published between now and December 22, 2011.
Cultural traditions surrounding the Maya Calendar is shared by Gladys V. Rojas de Avila, Maya K'iche-Mam. The calendar does not predict and
end to the world. This is a neat, concise insight to the calendar that has recieved increased interest in late years.

Digital orders: Digital orders are generaly far lower in price (no paper, no ink no shipping and handling, no inventory in storage). Digital magazines
can be read on a wide variety of readers: lap tops, PC, Mac, iPad, Nook and more. I charge from $1 to $1.25 per digital download. I reduce that to "FREE"
once the issue has been up a few months.
I archieve old magazines after several months ofr after a year. These are still available, but I want to
keep current collections and issues easy to find.
