For those of you who don’t know, I am co-editing an anthology (titled A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil) with Jeffrey Hite. This is a project that we conceived more than a year ago over Twitter. We decided it would be fun to try our hands at creating an anthology and started the process of doing it ourselves, all the while looking for a publisher. We didn’t have to look long before Lorina Stephens and Five Rivers Publishing decided to take on the project with us. It has been both an adventure and a LOT of work to gather stories, edit them, place them into the anthology and now proof the Galley. But we are almost […]

Read moreThe Start of Something Great
May 28 – 30th was the Memorial Day weekend in the United States. That means Balticon was in full swing. Last year I was fortunate enough to attend, but, alas, funds to go this year were simply not available. So, for me, and others like me, the weekend was just that, a weekend much like any other. Except, early last week, a few people started talking about Balticant on Twitter. We moaned a little about not being able to visit New Media’s Mecca. We talked about staging a Tweet campaign to “try” and capture some of the spirit of Balticon but we didn’t do much else. And then, Friday came, and a few of us decided to have our own, […]
