A drive-by blogging, that's what this is.

Posted on 2012-04-12 at 15:30 by montsamu
So. I haven't been able to get out to do much flyering, or send much PR out to the newspapers, etc. to promote THIS Sunday's NC Speculative Fiction Night. (Other than Independent Weekly, which as always is super supportive and made the event one of their picks of a busy (is there any other kind around here?) weekend.) That's right: 3 days away! Sunday Sunday Sunday!! At Durham's Sci-Fi Genre Comics and Games! From 5 to 7 pm! Be there!

No e-mail newsletter this month
Posted on 2012-03-12 at 16:35 by montsamu
Well, as it's nearly the Ides of March and I haven't sent one out, just going to call it that there won't be an e-mail newsletter this month. Finally finished closing the tax books on 2011 which has been a big time sink, and now will find time to put the final touches on issue #7 and send it to the printers. Therewill be something fun going on in April, namely an honest to goodness issue launch party, but I don't want to plan it or announce it until I have a ship date from the printers. (Too many close

Holy slush progress, Batman!
Posted on 2012-02-03 at 19:41 by montsamu
Thanks to the efforts of new associate fiction editors, a.k.a. "slushreaders", JM McDermott and Brenda Kalt, under "senior associate fiction editor" Sarah Rogers who has been pushing the boulder up the hill by herself for a good while now, there's been an amazing uptick in reading submissions. And now, even better: I finally figured out how to easily get all of the submissions slowly languishing in my old submissions inbox moved to their shared story reading inbox -- meaning, hopefully, these 100+ day old
