My latest acceptance for the month of April 2008 is actually my 5th over the last two-three years to editor Ian Redman’s ‘JUPITER SF’.  It’s one of the UK-Small Press’s most widely read hard science fiction publications, and probably just behind Interzone.  Published quarterly, they are now in their fifth year of existence.  In today’s marketplace not too many small magazines last that [...]

On April 16th 2008, I took the day off and headed into the city – the Village, to be exact — to see horror masters Jack Ketchum and P.D. Cacek perform live readings of their works.  KGB Bar is a pretty renowned institution when it comes to live performances by writers and poets.  It has that dimlighted, hip, semi-beatnik kind of [...]

Well, various  Web-based messageboard communities almost collapsed a second time yesterday because certain folks just weren’t sure whether or not Lawrence Dagstine was going to appear in ESCAPE VELOCITY, Issue #3.  Check the Table of Contents, I’m there.  I had mistakenly been left out due to a ’substitute story email being missed’ or crossed somehow.  It seems Escape Velocity has changed its word [...]

My latest acceptance comes to The Ashen Eye, which is a fairly new webzine combined with a blog component.  The sole purpose: promotion and exposure for the budding horror author.   Not just a great chilling tale.  The design is pretty creepy, too.  I can see this one going places in time, as webzines uploaded with blogs now through WordPress and others seem to be one of the latest things [...]
