You can now find my 400th publishing credit in the webzine/free PDF Download/Lulu Magazine… OG’s Speculative Fiction, edited on a monthly to bimonthly basis by Seth Crossman. Issue #25. It wasn’t that long ago that I graced the pages of Issue #23. This issue has wonderful artwork, a supernova or planet burning up, I believe. You can download the issue in PDF format direct to your computers. Other fiction and poetry in this issue includes a story by Desmond Warzel. This is my third time at the long-running “Opinion Guy.”

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.

This is a reminder post for what is clearly one of the best designed Horror Digests on the market. I believe it’s available in a few bookstores in the lit. journal section, so there’s distribution to my knowledge. It might be available at The Horror Mall, too. Or you can just order direct from their homepage. But at close to 300 pages, you get not one, not two, but THREE ISSUES in ONE! I have a piece in the most recently released edition: Withersin – Arsenic. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. If you’re a fan of horror, you’re missing out. Their interviews, reviews, and non-fiction articles get five stars automatically. Their artwork is award-winning. Get your copy today.

And remember, each thick-filled issue is actually THREE issues in one!

Many of you have probably been wondering where the heck I’ve been, blogging two, three times per month. Well, lately I’m going through a very hectic divorce. Yes, I’ve split up and moved away from my now ex-significant other. We shared four wonderful years together as a couple, gave birth to a scifi nut for a toddler, but with a 70% divorce rate in the United States, hey, sometimes these things are not meant to last. On June 10th (and maybe beyond), it’s all about who gets the custody and visitation and when and where (I’ll probably get the kid on the weekends). But New York Court can be a dragging process when it comes to this. I’d like to thank all of my friends I grew up with in Manhattan, my friends in Brooklyn, all of my very supportive friends–all 2,500 of you–on Facebook, for cheering me up, for being there for me. Even though there is more legal stuff ahead, a lot of you took the teary moments and depression away. I’d like to also thank you for your privacy concerning all these family matters at this time. Sometimes love is not meant forever. What this does mean, however, is I need to get my ass writing more when all this is over. I have a roof over my head. It’s a room… cozy… $500 a month with utilities (I know peeps), and for a Native New Yorker and Bohemian like myself it will suit me just fine. I feel as if I’ll get more work done now. Perhaps better work, as I’ll be able to concentrate. Oddly enough though, the way the visitation proceedings are playing out—minus the paranormal elements, of course—they’re roughly 70% similar to my first Amazon Kindle title: Visitation Rights.

In other news, certain Sam’s Dot Magazines will not only be available in print on their regularly released basis, but they too will eventually go into PDF format where you can download the publications to your readers (such as Cover of Darkness). I’ll be in a decent number of their pubs this year, so stay tuned for that. Also, I’ve had a lot of luck in the anthology department as of late. Anthologies, which can be found in the Books & Anthos section of this homepage, will now be released under “New Anthology” or “New Antho.” Also, expect “New Releases” and a Dagstine application and imprint. Once again, whatever can be purchased in print will be attainable for reading devices. Nothing overnight, but stay tuned.

It’s my 11th story appearance within the folds of Sam’s Dot Publishing’s magazine, Aoife’s Kiss. This would be the December 2009 issue, a pretty funky cover. This issue also features Ken Goldman. No. 31. Interesting fact about the magazine: the title comes from Irish. After all these years, I didn’t even know that. However, if you love science fiction and adventure stories, you definitely can’t go wrong with a copy.

I’m pleased to announce that the 24th issue of NOVA SF is now available. Ten years publishing! This would mark my fifth appearance with the Hard SF and Christian SF publication. I’ll have another story with them sometime in late spring 2010. According to the recent Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market, the circulation has gone up a little. Let’s see if we can increase that again this year. You can also subscribe via Paypal. Published semi-annually, NOVA SF is edited by Wesley Kawato. It also appears he’ll have a dealer’s table at a very famous Doctor Who Convention in Los Angeles, CA in February. GALLIFREY 2010/Gallifrey One: http://www.gallifreyone.com/

This is probably one of my favorite covers to anything I’ve ever been in. You can find an almost novelette-length story of mine in the very popular COVER OF DARKNESS, November 2009. Published twice a year, it’s a magazine-anthology of lengthy horror, urban fantasy, speculative fiction and other dark tales in-between. Edited by Tyree Campbell and published by Sam’s Dot. For this issue, an entire town is destroyed… Dagstine-style. And that officially ends the Fall 2009 year on Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies. This magazine’s a thick one.

I don’t know whether to consider this a magazine credit or anthology credit, so mark them as both for now, I suppose. I’ll have a SF and Fantasy-mixed tale coming to a fairly new bi-annual trade paperback anthology-magazine called Shelter of Daylight by Sam’s Dot Publishing. They’re published every April and October, with a dash of poetry and art. Edited by Tyree Campbell. And yes, this officially puts me on the road to 400 publishing credits sometime in 2010.
