From the Editor’s Desk
First of all, although I have distributed an Errata for incorrectly listing
author Molly O’Donnell as Mary O’Donnell in the last issue, I would like to
apologize once more to Molly. Character Mary Russell was a major focus of her
article and somehow we transposed the names.
I am turning “From the Editor’s Desk” over to Mindy Hutchings for this
issue of PCR because both she and Amie Norris, who have been my invaluable
colleagues and more than my right hand in the editing of PCR since 2004, are
leaving us. I am grateful to both for their dedication and expertise, more than I
can say. No one could have done a better job than they did under often difficult
circumstances and for little reward. I have been blessed by their presence and
will sorely miss working with them.
All I can say is thank you a thousand times and good luck to you both with
your many future projects.

Hi, my name is Mindy Hutchings, and you know my work, even if you
don’t know my name. I’ve been helping produce Popular Culture Review since
the Winter 2004 issue. I started as the circulation manager and did some copy
editing on the side, quickly moving into the associate editor position, in addition
to the other duties (including helping out with the annual conference and project
management). However, this will be my last “From the Editor’s Desk”; indeed,
it is the last time I will be helping produce an issue of PCR. While PCR has been
a beloved, but time-consuming, part of my life, it’s time that I move on. In fact,
Amie Norris, Editorial Consultant, will be moving on as well.
During the past seven years, PCR hasn’t been the only thing in our lives.
During that time, I graduated from UNLV (Bachelors in English), took four
beloved pets (two dogs, both 14 years old, and two cats, both 18 years old) to
that Last Trip to the vet, renovated and sold my house, became engaged, and
became increasingly involved with the local science fiction fandom community,
eventually becoming co-leader of the Vegas Science Fiction Association with
three to four events each month, including a couple of road trips. At my main
