Belfire & Needfire News

I understand that Belfire and Needfire have had some nominations at the P&E awards via Critters.org. Unfortunately, the site seems to be down, so we’re left wondering. Although most folks think the P&E awards are just fluff, I like ‘em. They’re fun. Good luck to any and all nominees!

From Zoe Whitten – Another push for Zombie Punter:
“I realize it will be harder to sell a book than to give one away, but one isn’t going to pay any bills. So, people who’ve read Zombie Punter, please, let me ask you once again to consider going to Smashwords and buying a copy for 0.99. One, because it’s something like a tip for the story you read. And two, because if you buy a copy you can also leave a rating or a review.”

Wonderful review for Louise Bohmer’s The Black Act:

“What truly makes this a gem—aside from creating an entirely believable and fantastical world, unique and rich—is Bohmer’s powerful voice and delivery. All of this coalesces into a tale that haunts you long after finishing it. The Black Act heralds the presence of a formidable story-teller.” –Bed Eads, writer and reviewer

Open Fiction Markets

1) Necrotic Tissue is currently open for submissions!

And you know, sometimes dark just isn’t enough…

2) For The Girls – Explicit Site for Women

Seeking flash, short fiction, confessions and non-fiction submissions. I believe I spotlighted For The Guys some time ago, which is a site geared for the men, linked from For The Girls.

3) Patchwork Path Books (Anthologies)

Haven’t seen this bunch before, but their past releases look interesting, and the themes for the upcoming openings are even more so.

Books, Books and More Books!

 

Expectations by Liz Borino depicts the struggle between what we desire for ourselves and our familial obligations. The struggle is personified by Chris and Matt Taylor, identical twins, who are trying to win their overbearing father’s approval and acquire their trust funds. Love, money, and desire collide as Matt and Chris decide what’s really important to them.

On Blanket of White by Amy Grech, Michael Knost had this to say: “Many times I read story collections from authors and find that all the stories are basically the same. Not here. Amy does a great job at diversifying her tales, keeping the reader interested in what he or she will find in the next story.”

Donald Patterson travels to Samhane in pursuit of a sadistic murderer and rapist. Unless Donald reaches Orchard House by midnight, his fiancee will be the star of the next torturous broadcast….

But as events take a more sinister turn, Brian wonders about the true reason they are there…. Blood and carnage. Pain and suffering. Desire and sweet chaos. Welcome to Samhane.
