I’d like to wish all my readers, friends in the small press, friends outside of the small press, peers, family, editors and publishers, and whoever else I may have missed a very healthy, Happy New Year.
From yours truly,
Lawrence R. Dagstine
With Arkham Tales, Atomjack, and Necrography just around the corner, I would have to say that this will probably be my last story acceptance for the year 2008. I’ll have about 30 stories coming out over the next 12 months to some very fine and familiar publications. However, there’s a new magazine that will be available in print and PDF format come February. It’s a monthly. The pay isn’t big, but with subscriptions and good authors that could change. A very likable venue, too. Simple looking. It’s called M-BRANE SF. It looks very promising, and Christopher Fletcher is an extremely nice editor. He also does reviews and SF analysis, too.
M-BRANE SCIENCE FICTION
Issue # 1 and #2 Coming Soon!
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES/SF REVIEWS:
I don’t know who the first two issues consist of yet, but since I could not find a banner, I thought this public domain pic of a space shuttle entering the atmosphere would be cool. In other news…
FRESH BLOOD, my collection from Sam’s Dot Publishing, has currently surpassed the 60,000+ word mark (making it novel-length). Also, writers have been emailing me in regards to my hiatus rumors. Other than Sam’s Dot… YES, where smaller genre publications are concerned, 350 publishing credits will mark a form of retirement for me, and 2009 will not only be a year off… but a year of book promotions, outlining projects, direction, new ideas, and most important, change…
Happy Holidays everyone.

There are some good science fiction webzines out there. Then there are some fine ones. ATOMJACK is by far one of the better ones, and it’s proven rightly so with their material and lineups over the past four years. This would be my 3rd acceptance with them. Published by Susurrus Press, Atomjack is edited by Adicus Ray Garton.

Aoife’s Kiss #27 is now available (or up should I say). In both print and online format. For December 2008, I would be in their Web component with a juicy new werewolf story.

Since it’s the end of the year, and there’s the possibility of the story making it into a Sam’s Dot anthology, you can vote for your favorite tale on the same page. Enjoy.

I’ll have a zombie story coming to the April 2009 edition of NECROTIC TISSUE. They’re a free PDF download and a fairly new webzine with a liking for horror stories which explore the human condition, the Golden Age yarn, or Tales from the Crypt meets the classic morality play. They also give free T-shirts with each acceptance. How cool is that? Link below.
