Friday News Wrap-Up

17 October 2008 6 Comments

Tainted News:
Tainted has been released, and in celebration Aaron is running a contest on his blog – you could win a free copy! Check it out: http://aaronpolson.blogspot.com/

Samhain News:
I may or may not be putting out a Samhain newsletter. I haven’t done a newsletter since I don’t remember when, due to my schedule and lack of anything really newsy to say. I may just slap up a poll and see if anyone really wants to continue on with that…or just stop by here and read the news as it happens. Or something. :)

Apex News:
Well, it’s been an amazing ride at Apex Publications for the last two years, but due to my ever-increasing work load from LBF and Lachesis (and that surprise thingy I’ve been holding out on everyone over) I’ve tendered my resignation with Jason as of this morning. I don’t think he’s very happy with me, but – I don’t feel too guilty about the slush pile, because he’s got an amazing new bunch of slushies over there that have been zipping through it like ice cream at a toddler’s b-day party. Not to mention the senior staff, who of course, remain amazing no matter.

Remember folks, Apex Digest is now a FREE monthly webzine with content from new and established writers alike, not to mention non-fic from the stunning Alethea Kontis, fabulous Lavie Tidhar and more.

If I were a sci-fi writer, I’d be slathering the submissions inbox with oozy aliens, but I’m not. So – I suspect a lot of you stopping by here ARE sci-fi writers. Apex went pro in July, folks – five cents per word. That’s a lotta cents per word. So, dust ‘em off, tighten ‘em up and get ‘em into the submissions address! They don’t bite.

Much.

Often.

Well, not hard anyway.

I have heard Jason pinches, but I’ve yet to see proof of that.

Courting Morpheus News:
And that brings me to CM. Yes, CM will go on, however I’ve decided to bring the project with me and will look for another publisher. This was a move on my part and I apologize to all who are disappointed.

Other News:
I may or may not have forgotten to take a step back during a call for volunteers for something. You may or may not be interested in it. I may or may not want to give details. Horror writers, comment here and I may or may not give you more information. ;)
