Jupiter SF, October 2008… (5th acceptance)

Posted on April 23, 2008

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.

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.

Escape Velocity #3, April 2008… (appearances)

Posted on April 8, 2008

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.

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.

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!

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.

Also, other issues available:

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 Ranfurly Review, March 2008… (appearances)

Posted on March 24, 2008

Been a while since my last update, but I have been away celebrating a birthday, spending some quality time with family, chopping away at a novella, and just started outlining new and different themes for what will eventually become new and exciting short stories.

My latest appearance is a free short story, and it comes to an e-publication out of Scotland, edited by Colin Galbraith of the Scruffy Dog Review. The Ranfurly Review is a non-profit zine, offers quite a bit of overseas exposure, and they have a diverse mix of fiction and poetry. Some genre, some mainstream, and some experimental. They’re published on a quarterly basis, and I’m in their second issue. It’s a downloadable PDF, so why not check them out?

The Willows Magazine, March 2008… (acceptance)

Posted on March 2, 2008

First, I’m pleased to announce that March 2008 into April 2008 will be Feature Author month for me, and not just from The Willows Magazine, but a couple of other publications over the stretch of a month-and-a-half, too. It’s also the month of my birthday, and when I’m sure to hit the big 300 (no, not age, folks — publications; a goal I set out to do almost twelve years ago). But those will be plugs and blog entries in itself.

Meanwhile, acceptance no. 298 comes as one of the headlining authors to The Willows Magazine for their March 2008 Issue, which might be a little late at the printers, but is due in the next week or two. I’ll put up another blog when the actual issue is released. In the meantime, be sure to check out two of their previous issues. They’re only $5.00 per copy, and filled with exciting pre-World War 2 weird tales and Victorian horror stories. I can be found, once again, as Feature Author in their November 2007 issue.
