Submissions have been closed for the Trace the Stars benefit anthology I am co-editing with Jaleta Clegg. You can read the announcement about it here or here. There will be an official release party in February 2019 at Life, the Universe, & Everything. I’ll post the details of location, date, and time as soon as I have them.
Just to refresh your memory, here’s the not-yet-final cover:
For those of you who don’t know, I’m co-editing Trace the Stars, a hard science fiction and space opera benefit anthology. We’ve added a couple new authors, and there are only (maybe) two spots left, so if you want to submit a story, please do so soon (see the call for submissions for details). The new authors have been bolded in the list below. We are already at about 92,000 words, so this is pretty close to the final roster:

I had a great first day at LTUE 2018. I was on a panel about one of my favorite artists, Wayne Barlow, which was great fun. My fellow panelists were Bobbie Berendson W., David J. West, and Devon Dorrity. We didn’t have a great turnout (about 10 people or so), but that’s not unusual for a panel like this.
I ran into quite a few friends today, and I hope to see more tomorrow and on Saturday. If you’re in the area, feel free to come out to the LTUE Benefit Anthology Preview from Hemelein Publications and LTUE Press on Saturday at 6pm in the Boardroom. The cover reveal will be awesome, and there will be awesome cookies to go with it.
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.
So, I now have a final schedule at Life, the Universe, & Everything in February.
I’ve known Bobbie for years. She’s an awesome artist and will bring a lot to this panel. David is a fun guy, a great author, and also knows his stuff. Devon is an amazing sculptor and artist. We are planning to make this panel very informative, so please come and learn about one of the best science fiction, fantasy, and horror artists around.
Come see the cover reveal and initial author announcements for the first LTUE Benefit anthology, Trace the Stars. The themes for several future anthologies will be announced. A Q&A session follows the announcements, with informal mingling and refreshments.
