Yesterday the Mailman Loved me - Contributors Copies & Cover Art
I had intended to say something about writing today, and I may yet do that, but first, I wanted to celebrate a very good mail day. Part of that good day arrived Priority Mail at home: 2 copies of ENNUI & OTHER STATES OF MADNESS - my new collection from Dark Regions Press. You can buy this in it’s trade paperback form now. It’s a thick book, good sized print you can actually read, well designed with wrap-around art by Don Paresi.
There are 365 pages of fiction here, and 100 pages of this (the last 100) is the novella “The Preacher’s Marsh,” which has never before seen print. Also included are several stories previously appearing in obscure, or poorly circulated markets, and one that was here in my journal once, long ago, but that I do not believe counts as published, since it was majorly revised after that…click the cover to find out details about ordering!
The other bit of good news I got was in my e-mail box. For whatever reason, Five Star / Gale missed the artwork that was originally submitted along with my novel Vintage Soul - and at first I was upset. Then I found out they assigned the book to artist Alan M. Clark, and I relaxed. Alan and I spoke about the piece on the phone, and he went to work. Yesterday he sent me the approved cover art for the Five Star / Trade HC edition of Vintage Soul, and I could NOT be happier. I now have two kick-ass covers - one for the limited/signed edition, and now THIS for the trade. You can find info on ordering this at a discount by clicking on the cover art.
Onward!

I love the cover of the raven snagging a geocache from under the grave. That’s classy.

You are WAY to obsessed with the geocaching my friend. Still, it’s an interesting thought.
You’ll have to read the book to find out what he REALLY wants out of there…
