Looking forward to next year. Should be fun!
LTUE 2025
Life, the Universe, & Everything 43 starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday evening (February 13-15). I’ll be on a panel about Hayao Miyazaki, then MC-ing the release of Dog Save the King (the seventh in the LTUE Benefit Anthologies series, co-dited with Jaleta Clegg). Following that, I’ll be overseeing a memorial gathering for my long-time friend, Melva Gifford, who passed away at the beginning of January. She was one of the founders of the Leading Edge and LTUE, and she helped with both of them for many, many years. She will definitely be missed.
Most of my time at LTUE will be at the Hemelein Publications table just outside the Boardroom at the Provo Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Come by and chat, hang out, pick up a few books, and get a chance to win a signed and numbered Kickstarter hardcover edition of The Horror at Pooh Corner, an anthology of Lovecraftian Winnie-the-Pooh stories. There are only 100 of them in total, and only three left. It’s beautifully illustrated by Leila May and Meredith Dillman and has a gorgeous dust jacket illustration by Jessica M. Douglas.
The Horror at Pooh Corner is out in general release!
The Horror at Pooh Corner general release is out! This version is slightly different than the Kickstarter release (it has a different cover design, and only one illustration per story). It features Lovecraftian Winnie-the-Pooh stories by Jonathan Maberry, Esther M. Friesner, Eric James Stone, Jody Lynn Nye, and many others.
You can see more details at the Hemelein page. Pick up yours today!
Cover reveal for The Horror at Pooh Corner
This was posted last week to all of the backers, and now we can reveal the Kickstarter edition cover for The Horror at Pooh Corner to everyone else! I think Jessica Douglas did a fantastic job with it. There will (of course) be a few tweaks to it here and there, but this is pretty close to the final version.
Thin Air cover reveal
The latest book I’m editing, Thin Air: The Cosmic Crime Fiction of Gustavo Bondoni, has just revealed its cover! Isn’t it beautiful? I’m editing this book for Hemelein Publications, and it comes out in June 2023.
This will be the first volume in their new Indizio publication series collecting science fiction and fantasy mystery, detective, and crime fiction.
I’m looking forward to reading it again once it’s printed. I love reading a good print book.
