"Johnny" Gets an Illo
Jim Baen's Universe has the illustration up for "Johnny Plays 'Round Saturn's Rings". It's by Maureen Starkey. Very nice.

Okay, it's not the New York Times, but Bill Housley is getting some press for his story in the Satirica anthology. He's gotten a mention in the Unita Country Herald and some love from a local radio station. It's a good thing, because his story, "Another Man's Terrorist" is a really good story.
Lawrence Dagstine blogs about it here.
Teh Satirica anthology is available everywhere online, or you can find it in your local bookstore. If the bookstore doesn't stock it, make them order it. It serves them right for not stocking it in the first place.
Since it's shown up in the preview, it appears my short story "Johnny Plays 'Round Saturn's Rings" is set for the December issue of Jim Baen's Universe in the Introducing section. If you subscribe now, you won't miss it. If you don't want to subscribe, you can buy single issues for $6.00.
The October issue of Electric Spec is out with my short story "The Quantiversal Coefficient of Fate". I actually wrote this story twice. Once as it appears in Electric Spec, and once in a longer, more upbeat version. I've always liked the darker one better. So, just in time for Halloween, go read it. You can get it in either .PDF format, or MobiPocket's .PRC.
I finally have a copy of Satirica in my hand. The cover art looks even better in real life than it does on the screen. I need to give one more shoutout to Cac for the excellent art work. Of course, you folks know what I'm talking about, because you already bought yours, right? Hmm?
By the way, it turns out that at least four of the authors are in the NYC area. We're looking into doing some kind of reading/signing/appearance in the area. If you're interested in attending something like that, let me know.
I almost forgot to mention that Electric Spec has puchased my short story "The Quantiversal Coefficient of Fate" for their next issue. The publication date is slated for October 31st. No, it's not a pro market, but they do pay, and it's a nice publication that has a taste for the darker stuff that so many markets shy away from. Check it out, it's well worth reading.
Cacodaemonia's final cover art for the Satirica anthology is just fantastic. There was a long collaborative process involved in choosing the artist and general direction for the book jacket, but in the end, it rides on Cac's talent. As far as I know, we're still looking at an availability date somewhere around late August to early September.
I've read most of the stories and virtually know many of the writers in the TOC. Here's the full line-up from the Cowboy Logic release:
Cosmos Magazine has put "For the Love of Jazz" online in their fiction section. It was originally published in the Oct/Nov '07 issue. For those of you who didn't get to read it on paper, here you go: http://www.cosmosmagazine/fiction/print/1813/for-love-jazz
The online edition, hosted at HappyHacker.org, has down for quite a while, and the e-mails have been pouring in. Problem solved! The online edition is now being hosted right here. As an extra added bonus, the viewing script has been tweaked for a better reading experience. And, as always, you can read it absolutely free.
Read the new online edition of THE HERETIC. The new layout maintains the page form better and copes well with adjusted font sizes. Overall, it should make for a much easier reading experience.
Meanwhile, we have new downloadable e-book versions in the works. First up will be an edition for the Sony Reader. If you haven't checked it out, you should. Check back to see when the new formats will be released.
