LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

This week's issue covered the Daily Features, Best Audio, and Featured Artist. I haven't had time to work on the past two weeks issues that I was hoping for. Day job has been hell. Thankfully, my boss has given me some slack at work so I can still make money and have time to work on my writing. My apologies for this issue being lacking. Especially in the Community section. Thank you to @KayEf for being the new Patron on my Patreon. It means a lot to me. Especially during these times.
