Worlds of Wonder, July-August 2008… (coming soon!)

For those wondering whatever happened to Worlds of Wonder, it’s under new editorial-publishing management.  It’s also coming soon as a print magazine.  A little bit late at the presses, but you’ll soon find me among their July-August 2008 lineup of what, for several years, was known to many writers simply as “WOWzine“. 

WORLDS OF WONDER: A Lilley Press Publication

Magazine of Speculative Fiction – July/August 2008

 

http://www.lilleypress.com/wow/

The new format looks great.  It’s been expanded upon, and has been taken over by Lilley Press.  The name and theme of my story, “The Hell Walker”, was originally based off this concept I had for a comic book character.  A priest.  One who is self-righteous and has the ability to travel through Gehenna, and do charitable deeds for demons and other creatures.

Other recent magazine additions include the June, July, and August issues of PABLO LENNIS.  More acceptances/appearances coming soon (business as usual).

And in the last two days, since my arrival home from the hospital, probably one of the best “Get Well” presents I’ve ever received… Yeah, we all collected them at one point or another.

TheWillowsNYTimesWebAD.jpg picture by DoctorLarry_photo

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 Wells, Verne, and the earliest pulp writers.

It’s been a year, but I’m back – back in Rachel Kendall’s SEIN UND WERDEN.  Popular among short story enthusiasts and poets in the UK, Sein Und Werden is published quarterly and themed.  However, its basic scope is on works of speculative or weird fiction with a literary feel, surrealism, existentialism, miserablist fiction, and lots more.  Over the years it’s featured some of Britain’s finest short story writers.  This particular issue would be the MAPS Edition… Being and Becoming…

Sein Und Werden, Summer 2008… (2nd acceptance)

Today’s acceptance is to Rachel Kendall’s very popular existentialist and surreal literature publication, Sein Und Werden.  Available in the UK.  They not only feature experimental prose, but artwork and poetry in their print version(s), too.  Each issue has featured renowned names in the British short story arena, and has its own unique theme.  Next issue’s theme is a “mathematical-meets-speculative” one, if I’m not mistaken (or ologies). The current issue is themed: Clandestine Encounters.

This would be my 2nd upcoming appearance…

Silverthought Press, May 2008… (acceptance)

My most recent acceptance comes to the May update of Silverthought Press Online, and it should last straight through the end of June.  In total, this would be my 59th acceptance with them — yes, that would be correct, fifty-nine — over the past three years.  Silverthought is not only an online webzine and peer review/writing discussion forum, but ALSO an independent publisher of high quality novels and anthologies.  They’re well known for breeding talent in the short story arena.  And they’re now a paying press, too. 

Silverthought Online; May 2008

May 2008’s update features fiction by: Kimberly Raiser, Gayla Chaney, Lawrence R. Dagstine, Thomas Henry Dylan, Isaiyan Morrison, Justin Oldham, Mike Philbin, Pavelle Wesser, and excerpts of David S. Grant’s new books and an exclusive interview with the author.

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.
