Aoife’s Kiss #25, June 2008… (appearances)

First, I’d like to thank my readers and author friends who have emailed recently to see how I am doing in the health department.  I’ve received an overwhelming amount of letters (a couple of hundred, so it may take time to get back to everybody) — and I thank you.  You don’t know how much I really appreciate the support.  The people from  the  messageboards, everyone from the magazine and independent publishing circuits.   Family, friends, and fans… You guys are what makes the Small Press and Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror such a great place. 

Second, for those interested, I have a science fiction reprint in the 7th Anniversary Issue of AOIFE’S KISS.  June 2008, No. #25.  Published by Sam’s Dot Publishing (www.samsdotpublishing.com), who’ll also be releasing a collection of mine down the road.

Pablo Lennis, May 2008… (appearances)

Been a long month in the writing department (so many short stories to churn out for so many places), but my latest acceptance is actually a last-minute reprint, and it comes to one of the longest running zines of science fiction and fantasy literature.  PABLO LENNIS.  Issue No. #246.

PABLO LENNIS #246; May 2008

Like last month’s issue, its contents are rather abstract in form.  It’s also the first issue in quite some time to feature a thin, semi-gloss cover.

This issue features works by: Lawrence Dagstine, Paul Truttman, Steve Sneyd, Albert Manachino, Gerald Heyder, John Binns, Herbert Jerry Baker, Peter Layton, Rose Gordy, Gary Every, and Joanne Tolson.

Also, now up from Whispers of Wickedness, and archived at the bottom of the ‘READINGS & REVIEWS’ section, my review for one of the newest and most popular counterculture literary journals to hit the UK.  They have featured such names as Jeff VanderMeer, Rhys Hughes, and Steve Redwood.  I’ll be in their fourth issue myself, with a gay fiction piece.  Polluto also marks my first literary journal acceptance.  😉

Jupiter SF, October 2008… (5th acceptance)

My latest acceptance for the month of April 2008 is actually my 5th over the last two-three years to editor Ian Redman’s ‘JUPITER SF’.  It’s one of the UK-Small Press’s most widely read hard science fiction publications, and probably just behind Interzone.  Published quarterly, they are now in their fifth year of existence.  In today’s marketplace not too many small magazines last that long but, due to its popularity, JUPITER has defied those odds.

Escape Velocity #3, April 2008… (appearances)

Well, various  Web-based messageboard communities almost collapsed a second time yesterday because certain folks just weren’t sure whether or not Lawrence Dagstine was going to appear in ESCAPE VELOCITY, Issue #3.  Check the Table of Contents, I’m there.  I had mistakenly been left out due to a ‘substitute story email being missed’ or crossed somehow.  It seems Escape Velocity has changed its word lengths, too, and they now prefer much SHORTER works.  My original story for them was just too long, and somehow no communication came of this.  But, thanks to Robert Blevins, editor for the magazine, the problem has been solved. 

ESCAPE VELOCITY; April 2008, Issue #3

The Magazine of Science Fact and Fiction

Featuring work by: Sheila Crosby, Dean Grondo, Kevin Gordon, Michael Penncavage, Branden Johnson, Barbara Krasnoff, Michael Anderson, Ivan Pavlov, Ben Cheetham, Shaun A. Saunders, Lawrence Dagstine, Magdalena Ball, and MORE. 

Escape Velocity #3 also contains lots of juicy non-fiction, such as an article on the The Mars Statue, a special tribute to Science Fiction legend Arthur C. Clarke (which, with its stunning full color pictures, makes the issue worth every nickel), and full coverage of the Northwestern Science Fiction Convention… NORWESCON 31. 

A review of Escape Velocity #1 at THE FIX (according to the editor, mine was one of the best stories; scroll down): http://thefix-online.com/reviews/escape-velocity-1/

In other news, I have a LOAD of acceptances and great news coming your way.  Queries for roughly two more short story collections, a possible novella deal, I’m working with an agent (wouldn’t you like to know who he or she is)… And if you missed my last entry, well, guess what? Here it is again.  I’m Feature Author for THE WILLOWS for their March 2008 issue!

Pablo Lennis #245, April 2008… (appearances)

Been a long month, but my latest acceptance/appearance is number… Oh, just kidding, no need to count anymore.  But seriously, my latest comes to one of the longest running zines of science fiction and fantasy.  PABLO LENNIS.  Issue No. #245; I’m actually anticipating their 250th anniversary issue in five months from now.  Not many publications other than perhaps a few pros last 250 issues.  They’re edited monthly by John Thiel, and put out by VacHume Press, Oort Cloud Publications…

PABLO LENNIS #245; April 2008

pablo_lennisapril2008.jpg
