"The Long Fall" in September's "Grantville Gazette"

Jason — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 06:38:25 -0400

My novelette THE LONG FALL is going to appear in the September edition of the Grantville Gazette. If you haven't heard, The Gazette has added a new section called "Universe Annex" for stories that aren't related to Eric Flint's 1632 universe. It sort of picks up where Jim Baen's Universe left off. It works the same way The Gazette does, all submissions go through the slush forum for comments and critique, then the editors pluck the publishable stories from there.

Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine

I just got my copy of Andromeda Spaceways Issue #42, which includes my short story "Inside Job". I have to admit, I've never held a physical copy of the magazine before. That's because I'm way too cheap to pay for shipping paper half way around the world. I buy the PDFs instead. That turns out to be a shame, because the magazine is nicely put together. It's perfect bound, with a mid-weight cover stock (40# maybe?) that's gloss-finshed on the outside, but matte on the inside. It makes for a handsome publication.

"Moon" starring Sam Rockwell

Jason — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:24:02 -0400

I'll start by saying this: Moon is a science fiction film. It's not an action-adventure movie, a horror flick, or an edge-of-your-seat thriller dressed up in science fiction trappings, as almost everything that gets called science fiction in Hollywood these days is. Don't get me wrong, some of those SF and whatever films are outstanding, but that's not the point. Structurally and aesthetically, they still tend to be the other genre first. This one isn't. It's a science fiction film, beginning, middle, and end.

The Magic of Science

Jason — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:12:45 -0500

Issue #6 of New Myths is out with my short story "The Magic of Science" in it. I tagged this with "science fiction", but I originally wrote it to be genre-indistinct. I was hoping that the genre would be dependent on the reader's own predisposition to one or the other. That makes it a science fiction/fantasy/mainstream piece.

Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine

I received a note from Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. It looks like my short story "Inside Job" will appear in the July '09 issue.

If you're not familiar with the publication, check it out. If you don't want to pay the postage from Australia, issues are available as PDFs for 4.95AUD which comes out to about $4.00 US.

"Johnny" set for December's "Jim Baen's Universe"

Jason — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 09:49:39 -0500

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.

Satirica in Hand

Jason — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:25:30 -0400

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.

Electric Spec

Jason — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:39:14 -0400

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.

SATIRICA Cover Art

Jason — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:13:37 -0400

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:
