Hi!
Great news on the front of the Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of Steampunk Kickstarter! We’re currently over $3000, tripling the minimum goal! Let’s keep it going!
To promote the Kickstarter, L.S. Reinholt and I did an interview which you can read here. We talk a little about our story and about our process writing together while living in Denmark and Belgium respectively. Enjoy!
Great news: the Kickstarter for Sherlock Holmes: Adventures in the Realms of Steampunk has launched! This will contain The Adventure of the Purloined Piston Valve, a story by L.S. Reinholt and me.
The anthology consists of two volumes: Tales of a Retro Future and Mechanical Men and Otherworldly Endeavours. Our story will be found in the latter.
I really look forward to reading all these stories that mix the atmosphere of a classic Holmes mystery with futuristic inventions, grinding gears, puffs of steam, rebellious robots and astute automatons.
However, we’ll need your help to make it happen! Please check out the Kickstarter page here for more info and to support the project. Spreading the word is also greatly appreciated!
I can also announce another acceptance, again for a story co-written with L.S. Reinholt! It will be part of Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove from Atthis Arts, a collection of short stories and flash fiction. Every story shows us five minutes of the events taking place at Hotel Stormcove, at any point of time, and in any genre. You can preorder this book here, including the limited hardcover edition! Release is expected in May 2019.
Darkling’s Beasts and Brews: Poetry with a Drink on the Side has a cover! And an awesome one too, in my opinion.
A larger version and the Table of Contents of this horror poetry anthology can be found on LVP Publications’ Facebook page. The book contains my Frankenspider and Haiku, and the great L.S. Reinholt, with whom I’ve written a science fiction novel which we’re currently editing, also has two poems in it. Every poem will be paired with a drinks recipe (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and I can’t wait to see those combinations! Release date to be announced later.
I’d also like to remind you that there’s only 10 days left in the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter! Go take a look if you think you might enjoy an LGBTQA underwater anthology (short stories). We can use your support!
You can find my interview for the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter campaign here! I’m talking about my story, Summoned; about what I would ask of a water demon and about gardening. And the gorgeous moodboard the Love & Bubbles team made for my story is visible there too! 😀
To make sure this book will get published, you can still back the Love & Bubbles Kickstarter here. Thank you so much if you consider doing this and/or if you’re spreading the word about this project! ❤
I’ve also got news about my debut novella, The Dragon of Ynys: I can officially announce its release date! It will be out on May 16, 2018, with LT3 Press. More news on this will follow!
The Kickstarter for Love & Bubbles has been launched!
Love & Bubbles is a collection of short stories of underwater romance. The characters range from classics like mermaids and selkies, to creative interpretations on the theme that take you to the Amazon river basin, alien water planets, and an ice-crusted lake.
We put out a call for love stories of all gender pairings and styles, and were surprised to discover the bulk of our submissions featured lesbian couples. Of the eleven base stories featured, eight feature relationships between queer women. We considered going ahead and focusing this anthology solely on queer women, but… I think you’ll agree the three stories featuring queer men and straight couples are well worth the uneven distribution of pairings!
This anthology contains my short story, Summoned, about a grumpy old merman who’s trying to express his feelings to the water demon living next door. There’s a pet catfish, much love for tea, and an aggressive plant.
Please check out this link for more information, and thank you so much if you consider supporting this project! You can help to make this awesome publication happen!
