Fading Light: An Anthology of the Monstrous
Getting there now. Just wanted to take a moment to once again thank Tim Marquitz and Angelic Knight Press for this fantastic opportunity. Check out that cover!
“Born of darkness, the creatures of myth, legend, and nightmare have long called the shadows home. Now, with the cruel touch of the sun fading into memory, they’ve returned to claim their rightful place amidst humanity; as its masters.
Fading Light collects 30 monstrous stories by authors new and experienced, in the genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, each bringing their own interpretation of what lurks in the dark.
Contributors: Mark Lawrence, Gene O’Neill, William Meikle, David Dalglish, Gord Rollo, Nick Cato, Adam Millard, Stephen McQuiggan, Gary W Olson, Tom Olbert, Mark Pantoja, Malon Edwards, Carl Barker, Jake Elliot, Lee Mather, Georgina Kamsika, Dorian Dawes, Timothy Baker, DL Seymour, Wayne Ligon, TSP Sweeney, Stacey Turner, Gef Fox, Edward M Erdelac, Henry P Gravelle, & Ryan Lawler, with bonus stories from CM Saunders, Regan Campbell, Jonathan Pine, Peter Welmerink, & Alex Marshall.

New Fan F(r)iction blog entry on Giant Bomb!
Just a quick update – I have put up a new blog entry in my Fan F(r)iction series over on the Giant Bomb forums about writing, Black Library, and my soon-to-be-published story.

Enjoy, and as always feedback is welcomed.

Coming Up Next
I keep meaning to actually use this blog as a blog, but I’m forever getting sidetracked.
Anyway, as I stated in the intro of Honour Paid, my two submissions to the Black Library last year got rejected, which was a major bummer. It’s a funny feeling, as I honestly thought (and still think) that both Honour Paid and the other story were worth publishing, even if that makes me sound as though I’m rolling around in a big, steaming pile of hubris.
Astute readers of the last sentence may have noticed that I cunningly referred to the other, non-Honour Paid story as the “other story.” The reason there is simple: unlike Honour Paid, which is veritably steeped in existing 40K lore, the other story was about a faction and setting that was more…unique. I quickly realised that I could, with a bit of effort, adapt this story into something else. It may not resemble the original piece much in the end, but I like the idea of using it for something else, as it’s an idea I worked on for years, and is near and dear to my heart…
Speaking of Honour Paid, it’s been doing the circuit on the various forums I visit – specifically the Black Library Bolthole and the Bolter and Chainsword, where it has gone over really well (always nice to get that ego rub). I have had a couple of requests to post up my synopsis and summary from my submission, which I will probably do in the next couple of days, time permitting. I’ll be curious to see the reaction, as it was my first attempt writing both.
Finally, the next chapter of Heresy Ad Infinitum is coming along slowly – unlike the others, I hadn’t typed up my original, hand-scrawled writing for this part, so it isn’t a matter of a quick edit and post away. I also have another short story set within the 40K universe I have been working on which is quite…experimental. I should hopefully be done with that in the next couple of weeks.
Besides that, it’s work on my fantasy novel, wish I could get enough coherent ideas together to work on my spy novel, and continue plugging away at my various BL submissions for the May window this year.
Back to photoshopping these wedding invitations!
