The Willows Magazine, October 2008… (5th acceptance)

I come with yet another brand new tale (going for fourth run as a Feature Author), this one spooky and rather historical — actually, the last few tales I’ve written have been somewhat either a) pre-World War or Neo-Victorian meets Post-Victorian, otherwise b) paranormal and steampunkish in storyline/plot architecture.  Still, stay tuned.  I’ll be in the October 2008 Issue of… THE WILLOWS MAGAZINE.  Edited by Ben Thomas.

Some previous Issues featuring Lawrence R. Dagstine

Steampunk Subculture in both genre and fashion is on the rise! Historical Fiction and other weird tales with a Lovecraftian feel, too.  Don’t miss a single issue!

Aoife’s Kiss #29, June 2009… (9th acceptance)

I’ll have a brand new story coming to the June 2009 Issue/Edition of AOIFE’S KISS.  Published quarterly by Sam’s Dot Publishing.  This would be my 9th print acceptance with Sam’s Dot (Aoife’s Kiss, Sounds of the Night, and Beyond Centauri).  On top of that, this will also be their 8th Anniversary Issue  – though a long way off, it’ll be a biggie, and you’ll want to pick it up.   I may also appear in the online version, come anniversary time.  Still, expect me in a couple of issues well before that.

Midnight in Hell, Autumn 2008… (coming soon!)

Fiction Story No. 300 goes live in about a month or two in a web publication that has been celebrated both online and, originally, in print; hard to believe I’m already up to 330.  MIDNIGHT IN HELL made its debut in 1990, the good old days of short fiction.  It dropped out of existence for a while.  Then, in the last two years, it returned better than ever.  Only this time with a web presence.   Over the last two decades, the authors who have appeared there have gone many places, and their work just as celebrated. 

www.midnightinhell.com

Their current issue is some kind of tribute issue (summer 2008).  It features the work of: D.F. Lewis, Rhys Hughes, Shaun Jeffrey, Willie Meikle, Paul McAvoy, Todd Mecklem & Jonathan Falk.

Past issues or editions have featured: Alexandra Ash, Eric S. Brown, David Byron, Arianrhod Darkwing, Christopher Allan Death, Bryan DiTolvo, Brandon Ford, Inanna Gabriel, Ken Goldman, Amy Grech, Rhys Hughes, Robert Holt, Sarah Jackson, Shaun Jeffrey, Dan Kopcow, D.F. Lewis, Alison littlewood, Paul McAvoy, Iain McLachlan, Rick McQuiston, Willie Meikle, Isaiyan Morrison, David Nordahl, Nik Perring, Mike Philbin, David Price, James Riser, Deon C. Sanders, Tom Smith, Jim Steel, Paula Villegas, Jon Walsh, and many MORE from the 90’s old school printing press days.

I’ve added a link to the right.  In a month or two, when it premieres, I’ll add a reminder post.

Worlds of Wonder, July-August 2008… (coming soon!)

For those wondering whatever happened to Worlds of Wonder, it’s under new editorial-publishing management.  It’s also coming soon as a print magazine.  A little bit late at the presses, but you’ll soon find me among their July-August 2008 lineup of what, for several years, was known to many writers simply as “WOWzine“. 

WORLDS OF WONDER: A Lilley Press Publication

Magazine of Speculative Fiction – July/August 2008

 

http://www.lilleypress.com/wow/

The new format looks great.  It’s been expanded upon, and has been taken over by Lilley Press.  The name and theme of my story, “The Hell Walker”, was originally based off this concept I had for a comic book character.  A priest.  One who is self-righteous and has the ability to travel through Gehenna, and do charitable deeds for demons and other creatures.

Other recent magazine additions include the June, July, and August issues of PABLO LENNIS.  More acceptances/appearances coming soon (business as usual).

And in the last two days, since my arrival home from the hospital, probably one of the best “Get Well” presents I’ve ever received… Yeah, we all collected them at one point or another.

7th Dimension Magazine #2… (Horror-Watch)

At first I wasn’t sure about this new print publication which combines the best of four or five worlds for writers of speculative fiction and horror.  I’ll admit, I was a little sketchy.  So I had sent them a reprint.  The magazine is called 7th Dimension Magazine, and they pay… Well, $7.00 for fiction.  They had advertised a few times on Shocklines.

Ordering Info: http://www.horror-watch.com/

Second Issue Fiction by: Ahmed Khan, Ken Goldman, Derek Muk, Karen L. Newman, and yours truly, Lawrence R. Dagstine.

So we know already that they’ve featured a few familiar Small Press names.

Now the other component, which consists of a marketplace, free advertising and plugs for professional authors and writers pretty much already out there or getting out there, publicity at no cost whatsoever, banner and book trades and interviews would be… HORROR WATCH!

Horror Watch Marketplace/Free Plugs for Authors:

Link: http://www.horror-watch.com/marketplace/index.html

Now I don’t know who Rufus is, mind you (see the second banner)…  But any magazine or website that gives back to the horror genre or promotes it and its authors with free exposure deserves a plug from me and much respect.  Good luck with it.  😉
