Trace the Stars available for preorder

Posted on January 28, 2019 - January 30, 2019 by Joe

The ebook for Trace the Stars, the benefit anthology I co-edited with Jaleta Clegg, is now available for pre-order in multiple locations: Amazon (Kindle), Apple Books, Barnes & Noble (Nook), and and Kobo. Go pre-order your copy today!

If your library uses Overdrive, you can request it be ordered so you can borrow it. If you are outside the States, the ebook is available at all Amazon stores and other ebook stores that are served by Tolino (mostly in Europe, I believe). It should be available shortly through Scribd, 24Symbols, and Playster, too.

The print version will be available soon on Amazon, and shortly after that at any bookstore that can order through Ingram. I’ll post more here once I have the final details.

EDIT: The print version is now available for order!.

Call for submissions closed for A Dragon and Her Girl

You can read more about it over on the Hemelein Publications site. Now, to buckle down and read all of the submissions with Jaleta Clegg. We have to have decisions made by the end of January 2019. Wish us luck! I think it’s going to be hard based on the caliber of those who submitted stories.

FanX 2018

Posted on August 31, 2018 - August 31, 2018 by Joe

FanX 2018 is next week, September 6-8, 2018 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. I’ll be helping out at the Bard’s Tower booth along with authors such as my good friend D.J. Butler. We’ll be at booth 401, which can be found in the red booths near the bottom left corner of this PDF map.

I’ll have a limited supply of bookmarks featuring amazing art by Kevin Wasden used as the cover art on the upcoming Trace the Stars benefit anthology. Come by on Friday or Saturday (September 7-8) and ask for one. Once they are gone, they are gone!

Hope to see you there!
