A Tale of Two Covers: MUTE WITNESS The DSP Publications version of Mute Witness is its second incarnation. The book was originally published by MLR Press, with a different cover (by Deana C. Jamroz). The DSPP has been extensively re-edited and has gotten a whole new face, thanks to cover artist Aaron Anderson. I love the whole cover art process, but it always makes me wary because it’s so vital to the success of the book. After all, this is the first impression, the “face”, if you will, of the book! Which cover do you like better? Let me know (and with maybe a reason why) in the comments below. First we have the original, from MLR. Here’s what I …

Today J. Scott Coatsworth is visiting to tell us about his contribution to the new Autumn Themed Anthology from Mischief Corner Books; Travels Through the Scarlet Equinox. As he points out, you get a lot of bang for your buck with this anthology because each of the stories is novella length. So check out the different stories and head on over to buy the book. -AQG It started with the grain of an idea. Looking back on my illustrious story-writing career, which has now spanned almost two full years (at least, the successful part where I actually published some of them), I see that some of my favorite stories came from anthology prompts. And this one was no different. My friends at Mischief Corner Books …

It’s always a bit of a thrill to get to have guest authors who write Sci-fi/Fantasy, so I was pleased to be a part of J. J. Lore’s blog tour and to have a chance to interview her. Find out more about J. J., check out the new release and then go enter the giveaway at the end. -AQG Welcome JJ! Since this is the first time you’ve been a visitor, tell everyone a bit about yourself. Hello and thanks for having me! I’m an Ohio native, married with one child, and I tend to have a eclectic outlook on life. Dark and gritty appeals as much to me as farcical comedy. I’d rather have a cheese plate for dessert …

Here’s your chance to learn a bit more about the man behind the books. Welcome Max! Nice to finally get to have you sit down for an interview. Why don’t we begin by you start by telling everyone a bit about yourself. I’m supposed to be retired… HA! I work harder now than when I worked full time.

Many years ago (okay so like two and a half, but it seems longer) I ‘met’ Skylar Cates—on line.  This year I got to meet her in person, not once, but twice. When I got the chance to join her current blog tour, I knew I wanted to interview her again. So, with that, take a few moments to read the interview, check out the new book (and hopefully go buy it) and then enter the giveaway. An Interview With Skylar M. Cates. Welcome back Skylar.

Today I’m fortunate to have a new friend stop by the Land of Make Believe. For those who don’t know J. Scott Coatsworth (Scott to most everyone) he is the driving force behind the Hoard’s effort to take over the world. 😉 In more layman’s term, the “Hoard” is the affectionate name for the authors in the Queer Sci-Fi group that Scott created and has shepherded along for some time. I was lucky to meet Scott at Rainbow Con in July and he is every bit as energetic and visionary as he appears on line. So with that, I’m pleased to be able to present an exclusive excerpt from his latest release The Homecoming. Make sure to read through to the …
