Just one update this week.
My ghost story 'The Men Who Go Under The Ground' has been accepted by Arkham Tales for their October 2010 issue.
My thoughts about writing, books, and perhaps other stuff. Occasional reviews and commentary on things of interest to speculative fiction writers.

The Silence on COSMOS
The Silence is now posted on the Cosmos web site.
It's right here. http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/fiction/3722/the-silence
Once more, I love their art...whoever selects the pictures that go with their stories has quite the knack. The site is also worth checking out for its popular science.
So, there's today's offering. Enjoy!

Mea culpa
I am a bad blogger.
I am a very bad blogger.
I do have some excuses...busy, dealing with noisy construction work. Sold my second story to Cosmos Online this week, too. Submitting like crazy. Wrote a short story last week, aiming for two this week (got the first one drafted, second one is slated for likely Thursday). WILL finish another novel soon, if I can get a breather between the short story CFSs. Is that the correct plural.
I know I promised something special, but I don't have it ready yet. It will come. And I'm going to try and make myself post at least once a week.

Chuffed...
My writer's ego likes this:
http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/reviews/genrefiction/885927-280/sffantasy.html.csp
Third paragraph from the bottom, with a superb review of Warrior Wisewoman 3...
in which I'm referred to as a 'contemporary short story author. That just feels good.
I'm tempted to celebrate by posting something interesting here...watch this space.

Zombist on Amazon!
The print version is now up and can be ordered.
They also fixed the ebook version to the correct tagline.
Again, this is a four hundred page book with 29 stories, hence the high price for a trade paperback. Its well under a dollar a tale. I'm hoping to get my copy next week...and can't wait to have it in my hands.

Zombist for Kindle!
If you have a Kindle...or the iPhone app, or a Kindle app for your computer...you can now infect it with zombies.
The Zombist - Undead Western Stories
is now available in the Kindle store. (Not entirely sure why its 'Stories' not 'Tales' but it really is the same book. Amazon can be weird).

Inception
Went to see it last night. I would put this in the category of 'good, but not great'.
I also would not compare it to the Matrix so much as to Dark City...a lot of similarities in the feel and the visual tone. The ending is rather predictable, but the overall production values are good.
Unbelievably, they used almost no CGI. I can't say any more without spoilers...but its worth the theater price of admission.
