One of the best things about going to conventions for me is getting the chance to talk to people. For example, 3-years ago at Balticon, I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Gail Carriger. The unfortunate part of that was, I met her on the very last day, at lunch, just prior to leaving for home. I took that opportunity to invite Gail onto Get Published and she graciously agreed to an interview. That was episode 47 which aired December 25th, 2010. Ever since that conversation, I have watched Gail’s career with interest, hoping that our paths would cross again one day. Imagine my delight when I learned that not only will Gail and I both be at […]

I Have a Story in a Second Anthology This Month
Writing is often about luck and I know I’m VERY lucky to have stories appearing in two anthologies this month. The first story allowed me to revisit a character I’ve written about before. This time is different. It is a brand-new character in a genre I’ve enjoyed reading but had never written before (I liked the character and enjoyed writing the story enough that I think I will be doing more of the same in book-form later on). So, without further ado, let me announce that Dirty Magick: Los Angeles (from Lucky Mojo Press, edited by Charlie Brown) will be available as an eBook next Friday (November 15th) and in paperback nearer the end of the month. I think the […]
Read moreI Have a New Story Out in the Anthology: Lucky or Unlucky? 13 Stories of Fate
A few years ago I wrote my first Charlie the Apprentice Wizard story called, oddly enough, Apprentice. It appeared in the very first issue of Flagship eMagazine published by Flying Island Press. Ever since that story came out, I’ve wanted to write more Charlie stories. When I heard about the upcoming anthology, Lucky or Unlucky? 13 Stories of Fate, I knew that it was time to write the next one. So, I wrote a story titled, The 13th Spell featuring Charlie once again. I submitted it for the anthology and, I’m pleased to say, it was accepted. The anthology is now available in multiple eFormats for $0.99. As the title says, it includes 13 different stories. A bargain, if I do say […]
Read moreHelp Veterans Recover – Buy a Story
Author and veteran Ben Coleman is launching an epic campaign to help veterans in the hospital recover. Sponsor A Vet lets readers buy a story from the Carry The Colors collection of anthologies and for every purchase the author will match that with a copy sent to an American military vet in the hospital.
