What’s been going on with me? (A list.)
Mike Allen / Monday, November 14th, 2011 / No Comments »There’s a lot of stuff going on in my writing career right now, a lot of “let’s do this and see where it goes” sort of things.
So here’s some ketchup:
-
I’ve sent out the first batch of agent queries for my new novel, Silver City, Shadow Beast. Wonderful, knowledgeable people have been coaching me as to how one goes about this. Wish me luck!
I am going to be publishing Kindle and e-book editions of all three Clockwork Phoenix anthologies. I have Norilana’s blessing and reprint permissions from all the writers, and am now in the midst of making the e-version of the first volume.
I’m also planning a Kindle collection of my best horror stories to date, The Button Bin and Other Horrors. More on this as details coagulate.
Mythic Delirium 25 is about 80% ready to go. At this point I’m still waiting on the covers, which will be printed on special paper in celebration of, well, us having a 25th issue!
Anita is still seeking participants in her collaboration with Erzebet YellowBoy Carr of Papaveria Press on the special handmade limited edition of The Quiltmaker, sequel to my Nebula-nominated “Button Bin.” Click here for details.
Tony Smith of StarShipSofa has asked me to join his crew as a monthly columnist, gabbing about horror, in anticipation of a new feature called “Blood on the Couch” (Ouch!) Though there’s a lot I can talk about, suggestions and tips most welcome. (Click here to listen to me narrating my horror story “Her Acres of Pastoral Playground” for the SSS.)
Speaking of podcasts, my dulcet tones can be heard at Clarkesworld this month, where I’ve recorded a narration of David Klecha and Tobias S. Buckell’s thoughtful and suspenseful addition to the military sf canon, “A Militant Piece.” Click here to listen.
Last for the moment, but hardly least: Issue 4 of Fantastique Unfettered is due to appear next month, that features three new poems by me and a reprint of an sf novelette, and now, a round robin interview conducted by Alexandra Seidel with myself and novelist Hal Duncan. I won’t comment on my own answers to the role life has in art and vice versa, but Hal’s shouldn’t be missed.
