Rock N’ Roll is Dead Anthology

rock_good_inches

Let’s be honest with ourselves; many of us do not expect great things from small press publishers. (Many of us don’t expect great things from big box publishers, but that’s an altogether different rant.) But just because we may not expect great things does not mean there’s not a ton of very talented people working [...]

Octopus

(Or, Why don’t we just put the Writer’s Market down for a bit and relax?) I collect old college Literature textbooks. It’s a wretched habit, because it means there’s now 70 copies of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” in my house—but, then again, none of my habits are particularly healthy. Still, this week, I stumbled [...]

predator

(Or, why won’t my inner voices just shut up?) I’ve got a book coming out. It’s small press, and its only loosely horrific so I’m not plugging it here, but suffice it to say the experience has taught me quite a lot about publishing novels. (I’m working out all my industry naiveté before my Great [...]
