Silver Moon, Bloody Bullets… (Werewolf Anthology!)
It appears I’ve not only been shortlisted but accepted by a half-dozen or more print anthologies by various presses with themes over the next twelve months. Some of these themes range from werewolves and vampires to dark speculative fiction and the Apocalypse. One of these anthologies, and it’s a pretty thick one at that, is by the fairly new Pill Hill Press (www.pillhillpress.com). I’m not quite sure, but I think I’m headlining a 25-author anthology of tales about these furry, fanged beasts who come out whenever there is a full moon. I even recognize a few names, like Rob Rosen, Scott Sandridge, and Matthew Dent. Still, this is a MUST HAVE Collection!

In other news, certain Sam’s Dot Magazines will not only be available in print on their regularly released basis, but they too will eventually go into PDF format where you can download the publications to your readers (such as Cover of Darkness). I’ll be in a decent number of their pubs this year, so stay tuned for that. Also, I’ve had a lot of luck in the anthology department as of late. Anthologies, which can be found in the Books & Anthos section of this homepage, will now be released under “New Anthology” or “New Antho.” Also, expect “New Releases” and a Dagstine application and imprint. Once again, whatever can be purchased in print will be attainable for reading devices. Nothing overnight, but stay tuned.

The Random Eye, Volume #2; 2010… (coming soon!)
For the second year in a row, I’ll be appearing in the annual eZine, The Random Eye. The Random Eye is about parallel universes, alternate history, alternative fiction, and stories which break the boundaries of communication. Edited by Melissa Jones, the Random Eye is also The Random Radio. My second acceptance is coming in early 2010, Volume #2. It can best be described as a weird tale with a dash of steampunk, a dash of the historical, part fairy tale and part science fiction. Oh yeah, and the 2010 theme is… TEA!
By the way, they’re still actively seeking fiction until January 2010.

Cover of Darkness, May 2010… (2nd acceptance)
I’ll be coming your way as a feature author in Sam’s Dot Publishing’s print, and soon-to-be e-publication too, Cover of Darkness. This would be my second acceptance to the bi-annual anthology magazine. Edited by Tyree Campbell. It’s a big old novelette, one filled with nurses and hospitals and monsters and the truth about humanity. It is also an historical tale. Atmospherically, it takes place during the height of The Great Depression. The year 1930, to be exact.

Cover of Darkness, November 2009… (Now Available!)
This is probably one of my favorite covers to anything I’ve ever been in. You can find an almost novelette-length story of mine in the very popular COVER OF DARKNESS, November 2009. Published twice a year, it’s a magazine-anthology of lengthy horror, urban fantasy, speculative fiction and other dark tales in-between. Edited by Tyree Campbell and published by Sam’s Dot. For this issue, an entire town is destroyed… Dagstine-style. And that officially ends the Fall 2009 year on Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies. This magazine’s a thick one.

Shelter of Daylight, April 2010… (acceptances)
I don’t know whether to consider this a magazine credit or anthology credit, so mark them as both for now, I suppose. I’ll have a SF and Fantasy-mixed tale coming to a fairly new bi-annual trade paperback anthology-magazine called Shelter of Daylight by Sam’s Dot Publishing. They’re published every April and October, with a dash of poetry and art. Edited by Tyree Campbell. And yes, this officially puts me on the road to 400 publishing credits sometime in 2010.

Lawrence Dagstine: “FRESH BLOOD Aftermath…”
Or… The BEST WEEKEND EVAH! Thank you sooo much to everyone who stopped by my booth and picked up copies of my books, pulp magazines, and other wares. Many of you told me you’ve never read genre before, many of you took my card, and a couple of you even stood in line and actually waited. You don’t know how good that made me feel. Thank you again. Here I thought folks don’t read anymore (well, that was before this weekend, assuming I now have new readers – I really hope you enjoy the tales and stay tuned to this spot).
ISBN: 978-0-9819696-2-6
Good news: I’ll be back next weekend. Some marketing, diversifying, and injecting the right pitches clearly doesn’t hurt, I see.
Bad news: If you’re new here, I’m temporarily sold out of Fresh Blood. I only have five copies left, and at the moment I need to mail out to review venues. I will, however, still have a few copies of other books and pulps on hand. But these will be sparse.
Oh yeah, and I’m planning a contest too!

It was a great few days. My count may be off, but I pushed somewhere well over 130 mixed Dagstine titles: hardcovers, softcovers, magazines, etc.
With that said, I’m off to eat in my favorite sushi restaurant. I feel like a kid living his dream. Once again, thank you!

SATIRICA: An Anthology of Satirical Speculative Fiction
Published by Cowboy Logic Press; Edited by Dudgeon
Last I looked, the book was riding at around 900,000 on Amazon; I’d like to see that number drop below the 100,000 mark again. I’d especially like to congratulate one of the book’s authors who helped get SATIRICA carried in the state of Wyoming and has been interviewed on radio. Major thanks go out to Bill Housley, who can be friended at: http://www.myspace.com/sfandf
Other promotion efforts include the Midwest, Canada (British Columbia & Winnipeg), Great Britain, and NYC locals Jason K. Chapman and Myself. But Bill, nobody’s done a better job so far than you. Thank you!
