Anthology Updates

I've finally gotten around to adding an Anthology page to the bibliography here on gorelets.com, and though it's still rudimentary I plan to update it with links and images and more. In the mean time, I wanted to share a few updates about recent anthology appearances, in case you missed the news from the latest issue of The Goreletter. One of the books coming out this month is Drawn to Marvel: Poems from the Comic Books from Minor Arcana Press. I'm really excited to be in this one, as it features a number of really impressive poets to write about…

Fear the Abyss…and the Scary Tiny Citybots!

Just posted the above video review of a few funky science fictional things I've been up to lately: including a teeny tiny ebook device for microfiction, a new experimental (and free!) short-short anthology (#Citybots) and the awesome Fear the Abyss anthology from Post Mortem Press.

Hazard Yet Forward — New Genre Fiction Charity Anthology

I'm proud of the alumni, students, and faculty in Seton Hill U's Writing Popular Fiction graduate program for putting this new book together, with profits going to assist Donna Munro, a great writer and fellow member of our community who shocked us all by being diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. The kindle edition of the book was just released today on amazon for just $9.99. Totally worth it, given that it's got over 700 pages of genre stories in it. I wrote one them (first appearance of my story "The Scraper") as well as the introduction. There are…

Many Genres Book Signing Friday 6/23 7-9pm at Seton Hill U.

The new instructional guide for writers that I co-edited, Many Genres, One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction will have a massive book signing at Seton Hill University -- a great opportunity for people in the area to not only buy the book, but get it signed by the many contributors in attendance. The launch will be part of a wine reception and book signing by Writing Popular Fiction alumni at the college. The event runs this Friday (6/23) from 7-9pm in the McKenna Center (look for the gymnasium) on the Seton Hill University campus on the hilltop in Greensburg,…
