Bull Spec's holiday shopping guide...
Posted on 2010-11-28 at 22:23 by montsamu
If you've got somebody on your list who loves genre fiction, there's been a locally written book published either this year or late last year which is perfect for them. While gift certificates are great (Check IndieBound for bookstores near you good Quail Ridge, The Regulator, Flyleaf, and more!) sometimes a great gift comes from putting the right book in the right hands.

Hey, thanks Durham Magazine!

Durham Magazine's Matt Dees blogs about Bull Spec, the issue #3 launch party at Flyleaf Books this Saturday afternoon, and next Thursday's NC Speculative Fiction Night and says: "Pick up a copy if you want to be on the cutting edge of the literary scene." Thanks, Matt!
Matt was very encouraging when I asked him for magazine advice way, way back in January. I've tried to "Dare not to suck!" as best I can, and I'm grateful for the shout-out.

A sneak peek at issue #4's editorial...
Posted on 2010-09-12 at 19:15 by montsamu
Hey all; while I haven't even put together issue #3's yet, I have something already burning its way out of my mind and into draft for issue #4: the important SF/F books of 2010.
There's still a few months left, but here is a sneak peek at what and why:
- The SHINE anthology edited by Jetse de Vries (Solaris). Optimistic SF is hard and important; if we as speculative fiction writers cannot see our way convincingly to something optimistic from where we are, perhaps that is as good an argument as any that we're in

Going to be temporarily closing soon to non-local submissions.

I'm way, way, way, waaaaay behind in reading. And it's not fair to the authors who have trusted me with their words. And besides, now I'm pretty much booked on the short end of stories for non-local authors for the next few issues. (I hope I get to announce some of that soon! But there are I's to dot and T's to cross, first.)
But I hate to do that unannounced. So I'm going to give folks until Memorial Day (31 May) to get something in. I don't think I'll be re-opening until 1 July at the earliest, so that's a

There will be snacks!

As I mentioned over on BULL SPEC's Facebook page there will be a serious array of desserts at the launch party, thanks to the lovely and talented (and infinitely patient) Mrs. BULL SPEC. She saw a blog post on Will Gwaltny's Writing for Sanity which hoped "wishfully" that there would be food, and decided to make it so, to the tune of: brownies, lemon bars, rice krispy treats, cupcakes, sugar cookies, and, for the health-conscious among such a prodigious proliferation of pastries, a fruit salad.
So don't miss
