DASH Literary Journal #16 – California State University (Fullerton – Futurist Fiction)

Posted on May 18, 2023

I’ve currently got a work of futurist fiction (spec-fic with a steampunk aesthetic tossed in for good measure), appearing in the current edition of DASH Literary Journal. No. #16, 2023. This is the official literary magazine of California State University. Out of Fullerton’s Comparative English Studies Department for Language and Linguistics. I actually studied linguistics back in the 1990s but ended up graduating in journalism and the science of publishing. I used to submit to a handful of literary magazines when I was first starting out in the fiction field. DASH No. #16 features poetry AND fiction, and the short stories in Volume #16 come from the likes of: J.M. Williams, Daniel Webre, Robert S. Gordon, Myself, Mark Silcox, Jared Livingston, James Fowler, and there is a TON of non-fiction. It’s very well put together. I will say that. Links, pics below with website info.

Cemetery Moon, Issue #9 2013… (appearances)

Posted on May 21, 2013

I have a gothic horror story appearing in the 2013 issue, No. 9, of Fortress Publishing’s Cemetery Moon. Nice looking Cthulhu cover art, perfect for this particular edition. I guess it’s themed. Features short fiction by Me, AJ Huffman, Gerald E. Sheagren, Brian Barnett, Larry Hinkle, Dr. Bill deArmond, Allen Koop, Donald C. White, William Andre Sanders, and William Amundsen. If you’d like to order it, just click on the link or pic below. Only available in print; they really should put out a digital version to this.

I had remembered appearing in this particular digest a long time ago, but I couldn’t place when. Then I remembered, I was in the premiere issue with authors Kristine Ong Muslim, Kenneth Goldman, and Barry J. House. Now that publishing is collapsing, with mass publications relying heavily on publicity expenditures and print magazines in the final stages of extinction, I’m going to miss these little pulps from yesteryear. One could step back in time and relive the days of when authors like Ray Bradbury, Fritz Lieber, John Campbell and A.E. Van Vogt were just starting out. I must confess, I’m going to miss it; oddly enough, another part of me isn’t.

Tales of the Talisman: Spring & Summer 2013 Acceptances…

Posted on August 17, 2012

Been a long while since I’ve been on here. Actually, been on hiatus for about a year-and-a-half. In that time I’ve handled some financial burdens and health matters, been to Family Court yet again (hey, what else is new), been in talks with a wonderful agent, became a freelance writer and video game reviewer, started working with a comic book artist, attended an editing workshop, and, at the moment, currently writing new fictional material in my spare time — what I call “digital exclusives” — for 2013. Exclusives that will be available for such devices as the Kindle, B&N Nook, Sony, Kobo, Stanza, Apple iPhone, and through outlets like Smashwords. Check back every so often under: “eBooks & Kindle.”

Coming Spring 2013 and Summer 2013

To Tales of the Talisman

Lawrence Dagstine returns with two new pieces

Today, however, I present two “brand new” short stories to David Lee Summers’ Tales of the Talisman. My record 5^th and 6^th Acceptances, one steampunk tale and one fantasy tale, due out in spring 2013 and summer 2013. Something I’m not used to, since I’ve been writing mostly long form — novelettes, novellas, and novels. But you won’t want to miss these two stories when they DO arrive. In other good news, I might be getting married! Ahh, wedding bells. But in the meantime, be sure to follow my story progress via this homepage, Twitter, or Facebook. Social media, since, with writing and marketing, I rarely have the time to do the blogging thing.

OG’s Speculative Fiction, Mid-Late 2010… (3rd Acceptance!)

Posted on June 28, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I grabbed my third acceptance to the long running speculative fiction/science fiction magazine on the Web — available as a free PDF Download to read and eventually purchase on LULU as a magazine for cons — The Opinion Guy (aka OG’s Speculative Fiction). This would be my second acceptance in one year to them, and they’ve featured some very talented and familiar names in the science fiction arena. Both short stories and poetry. Matter of fact, this third credit comes right after my 2nd, and bolstered me up to the 400 credit mark. Editor is Seth Crossman, and he also provides an Internet site full of informative articles.
