M-BRANE SF: Issue #9, Fall 2009… (coming soon!)

Posted on June 27, 2009

Slowly catching up, slowly getting there. My second of three Mars-related stories will appear in M-BRANE SF around the Fall. Issue #9. This is my 2nd appearance with them. They’ve recently released print versions of issues #1 through #5, and No. #6 may already be out. They are also available via PDF subscription (very affordable!), which I highly recommend checking out. The publication features many forms of scifi, non-fiction, and analyses of the genre itself. It has a retro-60’s feel. Sort of like the pulps. They’ve featured many familiar names in the SF short fiction arena.

M-Brane SF

M-BRANE SF is not only a PDF and print publication but a regular science fiction news source, too. One of the ideas they’re juggling around right now is a ‘Shared World’ theme, which might be of interest to genre lovers.

The Martian Wave, Issue #1… (coming soon!)

Posted on June 12, 2009

It’s no secret that over the last ten years some of my earliest science fiction works first appeared in venues such as The Fifth Di… and The Martian Wave, or on the Sam’s Dot Publishing roster in general (they’re also the publisher of my debut collection, Fresh Blood). Over the years, The Martian Wave has provided a home to such prolific talents as Bruce Boston, Rick Novy, Kristine Ong Muslim, Aurelio Rico Lopez III, Justin Stanchfield, Scott Virtes, Terrie Leigh Relf, and David Lee Summers. And that’s only the tip of the list.

THE MARTIAN WAVE

Edited by J. Alan Erwine

Published by Sam’s Dot Publishing

www.samsdotpublishing.com

I’m pleased to announce that in just a few weeks from now The Martian Wave is going to finally be a print magazine focused around good, hard, interplanetary SF and space opera. I’m talking tales of other worlds and alien life — and I’ll be in their premiere issue with… Well, what else? Something about Mars! This also begins a three-story arc of Mars-related shorts I wrote due out between 2009 and 2010. So stay tuned!

I’ll provide ordering information and cover art when the time comes (love the new logo, by the way). Naturally, this magazine will be available through The Genre Mall.

PRE-ORDER HERE: http://www.genremall.com/anthologiesr.htm#freshblood

A Collection of Science Fiction & Horror: ISBN: 978-0-9819696-2-6

Sam’s Dot has come a long way in the last ten years, its authors being nominated for such awards as the Nebula, the Hugo, and the Bram Stoker. Many a famous name have made a guest appearance there. Most important, if you are a new writer, I am living proof that you can slowly work your way up the ladder and get a “book deal” or “payment” or things such as an “advance” or “publicist” for your efforts (bear with me, there’s a lot in the pipeline, and there are only twenty-four hours in a day).

I think this month’s “tuppence” column by SF award-nominated editor Tyree Campbell will be overlooked, and it’s such a terrible shame. Especially for new talent. Please, I urge you to read it and follow it with all your heart:

The Fifth Di, March 2009… (appearances)

Posted on March 6, 2009

You can now find a heavily researched, post-apocalyptic tale about plagues, the death of the human race, and an alien species trying to save what’s left of mankind in… The current issue of THE FIFTH DI. March 2009, to be exact. The narrative is first-person, and comes from the perspective of an extraterrestrial doctor/coroner. The Andromeda Strain was very much an inspiration here, but I wanted to change it up a bit and make my story otherworldly. If you like 28 Days Later, you might also like this tale. The Fifth Di is edited by J. Alan Erwine, and published by Sam’s Dot Publishing. They’ve been around for years, and I’ve appeared there on up to almost 20 other occasions.

M-BRANE SF: Issue #2, March 2009… (Now Available!)

Posted on March 2, 2009

The second issue of M-BRANE SF has just hit the Internet with a March edition to die for. It’s a fast-growing venue with a positive future ahead of it. Some decent writers have already submitted to it, like Rick Novy and Cat Rambo. I have a story in Issue #2, and not only is the magazine well-formatted and very affordable for this economy, but I believe it is available in a few formats. I recommend trying it out. The PDF is only $12.00 for a whole year! For twelve issues, how can you beat that price? Christopher Fletcher gives his personal summations, too, on who’s who and what’s what involving the genre. Not just Hard Science Fiction. Love the retro 60’s feel!

Posted on January 13, 2009

And here’s a quick appearance from over two months ago to THE RANDOM EYE: An Ezine Dedicated to Alternatives. You can find a lot of cool stuff here (from alternate history to parallel universes). SFWA member Rick Novy is also in this issue, and I believe we’ll be appearing in some other stuff together later in the year. Great writer, and an even greater fella to chat with. In the meantime, be sure to read the premiere edition; it’s only published once per year.

Surprising Stories, January 2009… (appearances)

Posted on January 5, 2009

Didn’t catch my Sci-Fi love story, A Virtual Affair, the first time around…? Well, you can always read it again before it goes into retirement. Below in the January 2009 issue of SURPRISING STORIES. Edited by John and Eric Thiel. This well-received story would be one of the final 30 hobbyist venues which will feature work of mine over the next twelve months.

SURPRISING STORIES; JANUARY 2009

Surprising Stories

READ HERE: http://surprisingstories.dcwi.com/

Featuring Work by: Steve Sneyd, David Zeldis, Lawrence Dagstine, Jamie Meyers, Herbert Jerry Baker, Gerald F. Heyder, Rose Gordy, Bob Bolin, Joanne Tolson, Albert J. Manachino, Anne M. Valley, Paul Truttman, Gary Every, and John Thiel. Reviews by Elmwood Kraemer. Art by Ramos Fumes and Peter Zenger.

My New Years Resolution was to retire from many a small venue, with 350 publishing credits as rocket fuel, and see where I can take these crazy horror stories and science fiction-cluttered thoughts of mine. And while I will still be an integral part of the Small Press, I’ve decided to take a leave of absence from the hobby press to search for a little more. As I invest over four hours per day into a new novella with “true” emotion and real, identifiable characters, make up marketing materials and get ready for the premiere of my first short story collection, and outline fresh ideas for a hopefully pro-paying anthology, I really can’t wait to see what this year off from shorter work brings. In the meantime, please, enjoy what the publication above has to offer.
