He began it in Spring/Summer 1993 under the title Harsh Mistress, but that name, meant to evoke Robert A. Heinlein's novel The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (If, December 1965–April 1966), sounded like a bondage magazine to distributors, and the magazine was retitled (its numbering resuming with #1) with its third issue, Fall/Winter 1994.
