Yes, it will, eventually. I have the material, the outlets to sell and lots of interest accumulated over the last few months.

I've also got a new job which means I have less spare time on my hands. This is not as bad as it sounds... One of the guys I work with is a whizz at graphic design and knows InDesign inside out - he has kindly offered to help me with the mag which is great news. I'm determined to have a go, even if its just for one issue!
