Some local author publishing news...
Posted on 2012-04-27 at 18:33 by montsamu
A drive-by blogging, that's what this is.
- Eric Gregory's had a second novelette published by John Joseph Adams's excellent Lightspeed Magazine. Last January it was "The Harrowers". Now it's The Sympathy, accompanied by an illustration by Galen Dara, and narrated for their podcast by Heather Scott.
- Mitch Ritchmond is a new name to me, and so this is his first mention here at the Bull Spec blog. Well, he's just had a short story "Amsterdamned" published in Torn Realities from Post Mortem Press, an

NC Speculative Fiction Night this Sunday: meet hashtag #BullSpecNC
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!

Welcome to the new website and blog!
Posted on 2012-04-09 at 00:24 by montsamu
While there's still some clutter about, and not everything is here that we'd fully like to be here: welcome to Bull Spec's new Wordpress-based website. We'll no longer be updating the old blog. Stay tuned: the (very late) April newsletter is coming, with lots of news, including the arrival of Bull Spec #7 on Sunday, April 15th at 5 pm at Durham's Sci-Fi Genre Comics & Games as part of the next NC Speculative Fiction Night!

An apology to my contributors, readers, and advertisers on the lateness of issue #7.
Posted on 2012-01-16 at 19:58 by montsamu
Well, there's really no hiding it, or "smoothing" it out this time. Issue #7 is no longer the "Winter 2011-12" issue; it's the "Spring 2012" issue. I want to offer (again) my apologies to my patient readers, my forgiving advertisers, and my contributors that their works, planned for 2011, are now coming in early 2012 instead. Additionally, an apology to the "2011 year in review" editors who essentially wasted their time considering these stories for 2011, some of which I also included in my yearly Pushcart

Hugo etc. pandering, 2012 edition:
Posted on 2012-01-05 at 21:43 by montsamu
First, the holiday book guide acts as a very good stand-in for repeating a lot of the book-related suggestions -- no, seriously, go there and look at the long list of books which were published by local and regional authors this year, and see if one or more of them doesn't remind you of one of your favorite reads this year, ranging from the Best Novel category (The Rift Walker, Out of the Waters, Pilgrim of the Sky, The Lost Gate, Miserere, Never Knew Another, Briarpatch, Germline, The Sworn, on and on

It's beginning to look a lot like an issue.
Posted on 2011-12-26 at 05:07 by montsamu
Same as last year's year-end issue, it looks like a very late December (say... 30? 31?) publication date for issue #7. About two months later than I'd have liked, but it's been worth the wait. Here are the cut-and-paste mostly unformatted contents:
Cover Art
Gearaffes Angi Shearstone
Fiction
# The Gearaffe Who Didn’t Tick D. K. Thompson illustrated by Angi Shearstone
# Fish Eyes Natania Barron illustrated by Brigid Ashwood
# Complications of the Flesh Jason Erik Lundberg illustrated by Jason Strutz
# Inseperables’

Ending the radio silence with some burst broadcasts:
Posted on 2011-12-02 at 18:04 by montsamu
It's been nearly a month: no Bull Spec #7; no December newsletter; hardly anybody has gotten their Kickstarter gear in hand yet; etc. So, some bursts into the static:
- Yup, issue #7 is late. Still at least a week before it will be in a printable state. Very sorry to everyone concerned, not the least of which Candlemark & Gleam and Pyr, whose advertisements help make the issue possible, and whom I told it would be out mid last month. Still, some good news: Bull Spec has a real, legitimate designer now: Gabriel

2011 local and regional author holiday book buying guide.
Posted on 2011-11-09 at 15:14 by montsamu
As the nights get colder and you look for a book to curl up with, or for a gift for the readers (or those darned fools who should be reading!) in your life, there are hundreds and hundreds of choices. Well, here, I'll narrow this down to local and regional authors in (primarily, I promise!) science fiction and fantasy, presented along a few categories. Enjoy! (And if this isn't quite enough, there's always last year's list...)
(A brief aside for a local book-buying hint: I've largely given Goodreads links
