Happy 16th Anniversary!

Welcome to the 16th Anniversary Issue of the Piker Press!

In April of 2002, four writers wanted an excuse to write on a regular basis. One of them had a website free to play with. One of them had computer technical expertise. The other two knew that they could fling words around endlessly at the drop of a hat. Ever since that, the Piker Press has been a weekly publication.

In our archives, there are nearly 7000 articles -- fiction, nonfiction, poetry, photography, artwork, cartoons, and spoofery. Serious works, and sometimes silliness, the Piker Press simply wants to give readers something to read, and encourage writers to write.

This celebratory issue is fine and fat, so our regular features of About THE ODDS and After Life will reappear next week.

There will be more to this welcome in the upcoming week, but for now, let's break out the champagne and say, "Cheers!"
