Mormon Steampunk call for submissions

Posted on February 7, 2018 - February 7, 2018 by Joe

Since I know a lot of authors who write things like this (and because Dave and James are awesome), I’m boosting the signal for this. This anthology will be published through Immortal Works. You can read more about the specifics over on Dave’s blog. I plan to submit a story.

Trace the Stars – January update

Posted on January 26, 2018 - January 30, 2018 by Joe

We received quite a few submissions for the Trace the Stars benefit anthology we (myself and Jaleta Clegg) are putting together. We have winnowed the first batch down to the 11 we want to use, which fills up about three-quarters of the planned available space in the anthology.

Since this is the first one we are doing, we didn’t know how quickly we would fill up, so we set the submission deadline to July 31, 2018. It looks like we may very well fill it up long before that deadline. The accepted stories are all different and will make a solid anthology.

If you want a sneak peak, please come to the anthology preview on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at 6pm in the Boardroom at the Provo Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. We will reveal the cover art and many of the authors whose stories will be included. You can see more details on the event here.

Hot & Spicy Cinnamon Oreos

Posted on January 18, 2018 - January 30, 2018 by Joe

These are totally awesome. They taste just like Oreos and the cinnamon candy hearts combined. Some of the flavored Oreos Nabisco has concocted are not very good, but these…THESE hit it out of the park. I will be bringing some for the green room at LTUE.

I have two events at LTUE!
