Transformation of Martin Lake Student Movie

Sion Dalais and co-conspirators are doing a movie of my Ambergris novella “The Transformation of Martin Lake” as a student film project. After they’re graded on it, it might well make its way onto YouTube. Here’s the intro for it. Jeff

Ambergris Novel and Story Collection Sales

I’m happy to report that, through my agent, I have sold my novel Finch to editor Victoria Blake at Underland Press in a very, very sweet deal. Other authors to be published by Blake’s new venture (she’s a former editor at Dark Horse) include Brian Evenson. I have also sold Finding Sonoria & Other Stories […]

Wired.com Geek Dad Feature–and Free Download

Okay–here’s an experiment, folks. Wired.com/Geek Dad ran an interview with me and Ann. Along with the interview, they’re offering a free download of “The Situation,” my book from PS Publishing. This is a first for me and for PS, in terms of offering an electronic copy of a book coming out in the same month. […]

The Church Completes Work on Shriek Music

In addition to various author receptions, brunches, etc., we’ll be on a panel on SF with Jay Lake and I’ll be doing my Ambergris multi-media presentation. Jay will be doing a reading as well. If you’re in Columbia, drop by and say […]

New Weird Contest Winners!

Well, eighty-plus entries later, we have a some winners and honorable mentions in our New Weird contest. (You can order the antho here.) We had to make a few very difficult decisions because so many people submitted so many cool stories. Our admittedly unscientific process was for Ann to read them and narrow it down, […]

Here it be, art by Stephen Youll. I’m really excited about it. This is a little darker as a jpeg than the cover actually is, just FYI.
