More Design News

My second book design of 2011 has gone to press: Crossing and Other Plays by C.E. Gatchalian.

In process for Lethe Press’s Tincture imprint, Blame It on the Raging Hormones, a novel by Nathan Goh, coming in February.

Coming from Lethe in March, the latest title from legendary writer of homoerotic historical fiction Erastes, Mere Mortals, a Victorian novel set in the bleak landscape of the Norfolk Broads. Evocative cover art by Ben Baldwin, who also did the art for Wayne Courtois’s Tales My Body Told Me.

Also in March (finally), Lethe will issue Lee Thomas’s The German, Livia Llewellyn’s Engines of Desire, and Ed Madden’s Prodigal: Variations. The last doesn’t have a page here yet as the cover hasn’t been finalized although the interior is done. Due in February, On My Ro(a)d {retitled Coast to Coast as of 4 February} by François L’Érotique from Lethe and Slant by Timothy Wang from Tincture, but I haven’t received the MSs yet.

Arriving on my desk in the next weeks, books from two new clients, Chelsea Station Editions and Signal 8 Press. I shall have to remember to keep my design-diva outbursts to a minimum.

Meanwhile, I am trying very hard to complete a draft of at least one of three stories in progress before the end of January. And waiting patiently for submissions to BrazenHead. Hmmph.

The Author’s Prayer

M-Brane SF #24 has been released. Celebrating two years of his scrappy little ’zine, editor/publisher/impresario/maniac Chris Fletcher offers the PDF edition for free. So go get it, read my story “The Arab’s Prayer,” and then show Chris some love: a year’s subscription to M-Brane SF is only $12.00.

Happy New Year

I was pleased to learn, on the evening of the last day of the old year, that a little story I wrote last fall has been accepted for publication—another excuse to pop open the bubbly! “The Arab’s Prayer” will appear electronically in the second-anniversary issue of Christopher Fletcher’s ’zine M-Brane SF (#24), due around the third week of January, and, in print, in M-Brane SF Quarterly #2.

“The Arab’s Prayer” is near-future science fiction, set in Tel-Aviv in the year 2020, and was indirectly inspired by the video for gay Israeli singer Yehonathan’s anthemic “Waiting for you (Tel-Aviv).”


And as you recover from primal debauchery, keep in mind that the first reading period for BrazenHead, my boutique imprint at Lethe Press, opens one minute past midnight, Eastern time.
