Last episode I mentioned a new project I’m working on with Jeffrey Hite. We are co-editing an Anthology I’ve referred to as the Mad Scientist Handbook. Well, the big news is, Five Rivers Publishing has agreed to take the project on. I believe this is going to be their first non-Canadian project. Jeff and I have renamed the book to A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil. Submissions are open and you can find more information at madscientistanthology.wordpress.com.

World Fantasy Convention – I met lots of great new people that meant more interview guests, publishing opportunities and yes, more and better friendships with previously virtual friends. Facebook – […]

Now that Flying Island Press has two issues of their new e-magazine “Flagship” completed and available for purchase, I wanted to talk with Zach Ricks and Scott Roche about how things went. What worked? What didn’t? How could things be better and just how did the writing community do with their submissions?
