The March 2009 issue of Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show (#11) is now available.
Contents of this issue include:

There’s also “The Man in the Tree: A Mithermage Story”, which is an excerpt from Orson Scott Card’s upcoming novel The Lost Gate. It’s presented in both text and audio versions (the latter read by the author), along with a Q&A with Card.
In addition, Editor Edmund R. Schubert’s “Letter from the Editor” announces that, effective immediately, the magazine is moving from quarterly to bi-monthly publication, with issues appearing in January, March, May, July, September, and November. Along with the change in schedule, they’ll be changing the number of stories published each issue, from seven to five. And Card will now be offering an audio file for each issue, either a new story, an old one, or an excerpt from a novel, since “he was having a hard time keeping up with” his commitment to write a new story for each issue.
