The next issue of Sci Phi Journal, featuring chapters 8 and 9 of Beyond the Mist as well as some excellent other stories and articles, is in the final proofreading stage and on schedule to be ready for its release at the end of this month, so here is a little sneak peak at the cover and internal art by Cat Leonard:
For those of you who missed the event (and my minor role in it), you can catch up on it here:
For those of you unaware, I am a regular contributor over at SuperversiveSF, and this Saturday they will be holding an online roundtable of the contributors via google hangout.
The event will go live at 10.30am EST and will include myself, Jason Rennie, L. Jagi Lamplighter Wright, EJ Shumak, Joshua Young, Brian Niemeier, David Hallquist, Peter Sean Bradley and perhaps some others.
Among other topics, we will be discussing the upcoming Hugo awards and Sad Puppies Campaign, who knows what else we’ll get up to…
I am pleased to announce that my first poetry collection, consisting of 52 poems from the Zwyckyverse blog, is now available as a kindle ebook for the special introductory price of only 99 cents (depending on your territory) until next Saturday, the 4th of April:
A paperback version is also in the works, if you prefer something more tangible.
The amazon ‘look inside’ feature is not available for this book, so you’ll just have to take my word for it, but at that low price, what have you got to lose?
I am currently putting together a collection of poems that have been posted here, to be released as an ebook and eventually paperback. I hope to get things finalised this week, but in the meantime, have a look at this cover image and tell me what you think:
Issue 4 of the Sci Phi Journal, featuring chapters 6 and 7 of Beyond the Mist, is now available for purchase in ebook form at Amazon and Castalia House and in paperback form at Amazon and Createspace.
Patrick S.Baker, author of On the Ethics of Super Soldiers, The Crescent and the Hammer and many others, had this to say about it:
My reviews of this fine publication have become a bit redunant, I’ll admit. But sadly there are only so many synonyms for excellent and thought- provoking.
The continuation of Beyond the Mist by Ben Zwycky alone is worth the price.
Needless to say, upon reading his comment I was jumping about for joy like an excited three-year-old (Luckily we had one to hand for calibration purposes, all relevant parameters matched well beyond the accepted level of statistical significance)
Get your copy today and see if you think his embarrassingly high praise is justified.
I have just finished proofreading Issue 4 of Sci Phi Journal, which includes chapters 6 and 7 of Beyond the Mist. The final version should be off to the distributors in a couple of days and ready for you good people to enjoy in exchange for a small amount of your hard-earned local coinage before the end of the month. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the delightful cover artwork by the irrepressible Cat Leonard:
