MAY 2022 NEWS AND UPDATES

 



Thanks for coming by the blog for some recent updates on creative projects!

Olde Wyathscope's Quarterly Concern Annum 1 sales have begun!! I now have all four issues back from the printer (see below) and have updated http://oldewyathscope.blogspot.com with purchase information!




Olde Wyathscope has been getting some positive attention from other readers!! Rebecca Rowland posted the following on IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6CmRwPdfu/

Christine Morgan (Trench Mouth, Lakehouse Infernal) also provided a nice write up here: https://christinemariemorgan.wordpress.com/2022/05/19/quickie-corner-may-2002/?fbclid=IwAR1T_HnaJwg8CWZo-Ect77dGwKr8RY202Gj6NLMVoe2NlwHLayvTp5cy0oA

Issue 1 will ship out in September!! Please contact me if you are interested in a review copy (PDF).

Other writing news!!

I am delighted and thrilled to announce that a microfiction piece I wrote, "The Creak of Sunrise" will be appearing in the July 2022 issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly! They are currently doing a Kickstarter that is worth backing if you are able-they've already hit their goal but can always use more! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crtyra/cosmic-horror-monthly-2022?ref=user_menu

I am also pleased as punch to be a part of Volume 4 of D&T Publishing's ABCs of Horror. "L for The Lacrimosas" is currently under drafting, and the anthology should be coming out this Autumn, all things going to plan. D&T is another of the fine small publishers out there that really value their writers, and I am sharing the TOC with some formidible talent!

Another letter (the first in a potential series of contributions) was printed in the April issue of Devil's Radio, Matthew M. Bartlett's monthly chapbook series. I always am happy for the chance to "play" in the WXXT-verse, and am hopeful you'll see what else I have submitted in the months to come. Head over to http://www.matthewmbartlett.com and purchase any and all of his wares!!

Otherwise with writing, there is still Annum 2 writing for the Concern ongoing, I would love to have Annum 2 done by Summertime, and if we get enough subscriptions I can begin to look into adding other contributors for year 2 and beyond!

The last bit of writing related news is I may be one of the author's featured in an upcoming article about writers and the pandemic by Jay Wilburn! Look for links in my social feeds when the time comes.

Music is a little bit on the backburner, but ideas are coalescing and I am aiming to get some more base tracks recorded for a collaboration I will be very excited to share more about. This will be atmospheric black metal adjacent, and (hopefully) utilizing some sounds from Africa and Asia in the mix! Once that is done, then there is a secret project that may end up seeing the light of day later this year, and perhaps another volume of the Dark Prairie Atmospheric Collective by year's end!

As always, your support and encouragement mean a lot to me. Thank you very much until next time!!
