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!

The Random Eye, January 2009… (appearances)

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.

M-BRANE Science Fiction, February 2009… (Coming Soon!)

Posted on December 18, 2008

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.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES/SF REVIEWS:

http://mbranesf.blogspot.com/

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.

Atomjack Magazine, February 2009… (3rd acceptance)

Posted on December 8, 2008

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.

Necrotic Tissue, April 2009… (acceptances)

Posted on December 3, 2008

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.

Aoife’s Kiss #30, September 2009… (10th acceptance)

Posted on November 29, 2008

First, I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I also hope you braved the Black Friday crowds better than I did. Next, I’ll have a BRAND NEW story coming to the September 2009 issue — I know, a good ways off — of Aoife’s Kiss (Sam’s Dot Publishing). This would be my 10th print acceptance to their magazines; I’ve probably published in the area of thirty with them over the years if you include online. Actually, I’ll have a new story for you in almost every quarterly issue of Aoife’s for some time to come. Including, to my knowledge, the “special” winter issue.

You can view previous issues of Sam’s Dot magazines by clicking below:

Next, Tiptree-nominated writer-editor Tyree Campbell and Sam’s Dot will ALSO be releasing my debut collection, which has a couple of blurbs at the moment, and is going by the title FRESH BLOOD. This will be a collection of stories new and old (a lot of new) in the genres of horror and science fiction. This book has taken over a year of edits, building momentum, and to just carefully compile. At the moment, I’m clueless as to how many stories will appear in it – it should be around a minimum of 50,000+ words. But you’ll get a lot of nice variety here, including the kitchen sink.

The Random Eye, An Ezine Dedicated to Alternatives…

Posted on November 22, 2008

I’ll have a story appearing soon in a new and interesting ezine called THE RANDOM EYE. Published Annually, they seem to accept work which is dark and speculative, but borders on the alternative, parallel (like universes), and the overall bizarre. More than just “weird fiction”. Be sure to check them out.

THE RANDOM EYE

An E-Anthology Dedicated to Alternatives

http://therandomeye.says.it

From their homepage: The Random Eye is a yearly anthology of horror and speculative fiction that focuses on the possibilities of parallel universes. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Rob Zombie became president, or if the Titanic was used for space travel, or if television was invented for communicating with the dead rather than entertainment? The Random Eye takes a simple theme for each anthology and encourages authors to imagine an existence far removed from our own, where a myriad alternate universes reside and where these strange possibilities exist.

Midnight in Hell: Issue 2.2, Autumn 2008… (appearances)

Posted on September 2, 2008

Another old-schooler in the horror genre (after a few years hiatus and formerly being a print mag), story No. 300 comes to MIDNIGHT IN HELL. Entitled “Departure Flight”, this story is not for the faint of heart…lol… nah, just kidding. Seriously though, Midnight in Hell is a fantastically entertaining webzine. Some big names in the U.S. and UK have appeared there in more recent years: Rhys Hughes, Des Lewis, Willie Meikle, Paul McAvoy, and Amy Grech among others.
