Plug Yourself, the Sequel
On Friday, I asked you all to plug yourselves. You can read the results there, but here's a summation:
Craig Gidney (
ethereal_lad) has a story coming out in the Magic In the Mirrorstone anthology, which is out RIGHT NOW. I had the privilege of reading Craig's story, "Mauve's Quilt," a while back; I can tell you that it's excellent.
wheatland_press has three new titles coming out in late May: Space Magic, David D. Levine's first short fiction collection; Can't Buy Me Faded Love, Josh Rountree's first short fiction collection, and Laughin' Boy, a novel by Bradley Denton. Watch the WP website for ordering information.
tim_pratt AKA T.A. Pratt has the second book in his/her/their (pen names are so confusing) Marla Mason series, Poison Sleep, coming out on March 28. As Tim says: "It has nightmare kings and chess theory and an asylum for criminally insane sorcerers and chaos magic and floating castles." Hard to go wrong with THAT.
burger_eater, whose real name is Harry Connolly, just accepted a three-book deal from Del Rey! He also has a story coming up in Black Gate magazine.
Jeremy Tolbert AKA
the_flea_king has his story "Babe, I'm Going to Leave You" available for your perusal right now, right here, and his story from the kickass anthology All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories, "Instead of a Loving Heart," will be broadcast at Escape Pod very soon.
Caitlin Kittredge (
blackaire) has a novel coming out as well; Night Life drops on March 4th. According to Caitlin, "It's got werewolves, serial killing, black magic and shagging. What's not to love?" She's got a sample chapter up at her website, just to tease us. Buy early and often!
Pete Anderson's story "Mercy Day" is up at Ragad Magazine #5. Sez Pete: "Editor Nick Ostdick called the story 'great' and said my public reading of it at Book Cellar in Chicago 'had the crowd had the crowd riveted, from opening line to last.' If enough people hound Mr. Ostdick with requests for issue #5 (yours for the bargain price of $2) and mention me by name, perhaps he'll be shamed into paying me for publication." Dude. Writers need to get paid, 's all I'm saying. Help Pete out.
Finally, Jason Erik Lundberg (
jlundberg) reports that The Field Guide to Surreal Botany's release is impending from Two Cranes Press. (There's also a Facebook group for the book here.) Jason and his lovely wife Janet Chui AKA
marrael edited the book and run the press. Jason's got a big year ahead for his own writing too, with fiction or non-fiction forthcoming from Papaveria Press, Subterranean Magazine, Sybil's Garage, Farrago's Wainscot, Tiny Stories, and Strange Horizons. Whew.
So now you know what to look for! Thanks for playing, gang. And if anyone has stuff they want to plug but missed their chance, feel free to chime in with a comment below.

The exchange rate is good. It took me two years to rate and will only take you about two hours to read. But it's crammed with two years of juicy thinkitude.

Two titles in March: Where Angels Fear, volume 1 of Ken Rand's collected short fiction, and Ten Sigmas & Other Unlikelihoods, short fiction by Paul Melko.
In May, a novel by James C. Glass: The Viper of Portelo.
In July, The Exquisite Corpse, edited by Jay Lake & Frank Wu.
Probably 3 more book projects before the year's up!

The Tiny Stories publication will be brought out by sculptor Lisa Snellings-Clark; the link you point to appears to be something else, albeit also cool.
I won't have a story in Strange Horizons (I sadly still can't sell my fiction there), but I will have a book review there sometime in the near future, of John Burdett's Bangkok Haunts.
