Whispering Spirits #18, April 2008… (acceptance)

Posted on April 17, 2008

The following acceptance was last minute… Whispering Spirits invited me to be Feature Author for their April 2008 edition. This would be my fourth acceptance with them in total. Edited by Diana Cacy Hawkins, the semi-annual webzine has become a talented showcase of ghost stories, dark poetry, and tales of the supernatural. My story is available as a PDF download, and this edition contains an extra ten pages worth of juicy fiction.

In other news, I’ll also be appearing in four more spec-fic anthologies between this year and next (about the first two, for now). One, which has already found a publisher is, SATIRICA: An Anthology of Satirical Speculative Fiction. When I get more details, publishing information, lineups, stuff like that, I’ll be sure to post it. Next, another SF anthology worth reserving, and edited by Darlene Oakley, would be: EISODOS STATION and Other Adventures.

The Willows Magazine, March 2008… (appearances)

Posted on April 5, 2008

A little late at the presses, but it’s finally here. The Willows Magazine, March 2008 issue. My Feature Author Issue! And I’m not the only surprise. You’ll find pre-World War Two/Victorian Horror and Dark Fantasy stories by names such as: G.D. Falksen, Paul Marlowe, Matthew Stiles, Orrin Grey, Skadi meic Beorh, and Lawrence Dagstine… Oh, and plenty more literary all stars and splendors await you, as we revolutionize today’s weird fiction.

The Willows Magazine, edited by Ben Thomas, is now published bimonthly. It’s one of the freshest and fastest growing publications to hit the Lovecraftian world since… well, since Weird Tales itself!

From The Willows Magazine homepage:

Through the work of rising authors like G. D. Falksen, Lawrence Dagstine, and Paul Marlowe, we are also pioneering the genre of “steampunk horror,” in which elements of the golden age weird tale or Gothic romance are combined with an elegant 19th-Century proto-science-fiction aesthetic, such as that embodied by Welles, Verne, and the earliest pulp writers.

We love work set in Victorian times, in the European countryside, in a twisted fairyland, in the underbelly of an enchanted city, aboard a triphibian ambulator, or in the ruins of an undiscovered civilization.

If your favorite authors are those who initiated and maintained the unique movements of weird fiction and proto-SF, and those who continue these traditions today, The Willows is the place to read tales you will enjoy, and to submit your own work! We warmly welcome new writers, but we also print pieces from established authors.

The Ashen Eye, June 2008… (acceptance)

Posted on April 1, 2008

My latest acceptance comes to The Ashen Eye, which is a fairly new webzine combined with a blog component. The sole purpose: promotion and exposure for the budding horror author. Not just a great chilling tale. The design is pretty creepy, too. I can see this one going places in time, as webzines uploaded with blogs now through Wordpress and others seem to be one of the latest things to hit horror fandom. They also plan on releasing a print version later on this year. The publication is edited by Bas de Jong.

Edited to Add: I have good news. I might be appearing in their premiere “print” issue. This will happen some time between late June and early July 2008. I will keep everyone updated.

I have a lot of acceptances to this one publication. Watch for stories of mine in their March 2008, June 2008, and December 2008 issues, too. Then, followed up by 2009. As I may have said on more than one occasion on this blog, Sam’s Dot Publishing will also be putting out my very first short story collection some time later this year.
