Nafallen University Course Catalog
I'm pleased to say that work on the catalog is continuing to move along! All accepted courses are being edited, and I am really happy with what we got! Madness Heart Press is still slated to release this in 2022, but at this time I don't have a firm timeline to share. We are working with an artist for some illustrations, and filling out some additional course content. I am very excited to get more eyes on this, and will share updates as they are available, including some of the creative folks who have contributed content.
Untitled Music Release #1
I'm working with a local musician on a joint release in the spirit of my previous post about collaborating on creative projects in 2022. So far, I think we have something pretty great in the works. Definitely look for more on this in the next month or so.
Untitled Music Release #2
There is another project I just embarked on with an unnamed but highly talented author to combine some dark ambient with spoken word. More to come on this, probably a Q2 or Q3 release.
Black Ribbon and Other Perturbed Textiles
The collection is *basically* ready! I still need to write some Notes and Acknowledgments, and I am still waiting to confirm the pieces which are out for submissions so I can give proper credit and include/exclude as needed. There may also be some illustrations (I already have one GREAT one for a poem from Mar Garcia!)
I have submitted the basic manuscript to one small publisher for review, and have some other feelers out. I am envisioning a couple of different release tactics:
An e-book release bundled with an accompanying soundtrack on Godless.com
A limited run physical release bundled with a download of an accompanying soundtrack or possibly a physical CD-R
A limited run physical edition through a small publisher with special content exclusive to that publisher (may be the soundtrack, may be special art for the cover/interior), followed by a more basic release via conventional
An entirely self-published release with a print-on-demand option
More to come on this, and still committed to this coming out in 2022.
Letters to WXXT
A series of Letters to the Program Director have been submitted for inclusion in upcoming issues of the WXXT Program Guide chapbook series. I am delighted that at least 2 of these have been given the green light, and I hope the others will also see release. Please explore subscription options here! https://wxxt-gare-occult.square.site/the-wxxt-program-guide
Other potential writing projects/collaborations
I have been starting talks with an artist on a possible writing collaboration which could be very interesting! I've also had some submissions that are outstanding which I hope to hear about in the next few months. The response so far has been extremely positive from people who have looked at them, and I hope some of these come to fruition.
Thanks for reading all of this, and thank you for the support!!
