Today marks the beginning of the thirty day countdown to the release of my new book, Dust McAlan and the Empire of the Serpent! Coming April 21st, Empire of the Serpent is set in the vein of classic adventure, and follows treasure hunter Dust McAlan as he races across the globe on the trail of a mythical city with a fantastic secret.
Above you’ll find the announcement video, which goes over preorder information for the print version of the book as well some background info as to what we’re working on for the novel. It’s only a couple of minutes, so give it a look, and then head over to ckburch.com to preorder your copy of Empire of the Serpent. I’m really excited about this release and about getting this book out there for people to read, so reblog to spread the word!
Reblogging for those who missed it the other day: right now I’m officially accepting preorders for the print version of my next book. You can find out more (and preorder) over at ckburch.com, but long and short of it is this: all preorders will be signed and only cost $15 flat versus the $14.99 plus shipping and handling on release day. I’ll eat the cost of shipping myself for anyone who wants to preorder. Can’t beat that. If you watch the video above there’s more info, but that’s the basics! Go check it out!

Happy Hellboy Day! Twenty years of Big Red, and still going strong. My contribution? Probably the best Indiana Jones film never made. Here’s to Mike Mignola’s brilliant creation and brilliant artistic abilities. May Anung-Un-Rama reign forever more.

Don’t mind me, I’m just plugging more of Casey Burch’s artwork. This is a quickie he did in honor of Hellboy’s 20th anniversary this year, and I’ll tell you nothing makes me happier than HB.
Speaking of Casey and artwork he does, I’ll have an announcement for his latest project, Dust McAlan and the Empire of the Serpent, in just a little bit. Stay tuned.

If you ever feel bad about your own writing, just remember that one of the world’s most well-known works of classic literature is self-insert fanfiction where the author hangs out with his favorite poet and is guided on his journey of discovery by a Manic Pixie Dream Girl version of a woman he met twice.
also where all his enemies are tormented in hell
I had to repost this here, because, well. It’s Dante. It’s Inferno. And that description is really spot on.

Equinox Promo by Enethar on deviantART
This is a commissioned piece I did for the Equinox series by my brother CK Burch. Pretty special piece, this one.
If you’ve read Equinox I: Between Gods and Monsters, you deserve to not only check this out, but purchase a print. I have this hanging up on my wall. So should you.

New Blog!
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m dividing my blogs: this one is more aligned to author/writing/editing/work related stuff (including asks and submissions), but I’ve set up a new blog ENTIRELY devoted to reblogging things that are amazing that I like and oh dear I’ll get geekily giddy over. So hop on over to www.stuffckburchlikes.tumblr.com and enjoy the mountain of geek as it slides all over you.
I’m not sure that was a good analogy.

Call for submissions!
Issue #1 of Strange Altars is in the works! The theme of the first issue FOOD and the (initial/draft) deadline is April 15, 2014.
Please keep in mind that FOOD is a very broad and loose theme, and that sustenance and appetites (or lack of, or denial of) color so many things. The idea of FOOD as a big and juicy concept was perhaps prompted by a question (about “affection”) posed by sexartandpolitics, and by a piece of writing by eatdrinkdie.
We are each privately laboring, creating intimate, personal work and sharing it with strangers who we ‘know’. Strange Altars celebrates not only the act of private creation, but also the impulse to share and the craving for intimacy. Leonard Cohen said “let’s be alone together; let’s see if we’re that strong”; Strange Altars proposes the opposite side of the same coin: let’s be together, alone.
Strange Altars is a semi-anual zine that hopes to re-imagine what it can mean to experience creative work shared by others: writing that you hear, pages you want to taste, animation you can hold. Each issue will exist in three versions: digital, print, and boxed (more “object-based”?), with some content exclusive to each format, due to the physical/technological limitations of each type of media, so please do not feel obligated to think within the confines of “printable on paper” when considering material for submission. Serial/sequential/multi-issue material is also welcome.
It will take some time to figure out how to translate the work into publication. The April 15th deadline is just to get a loose idea of what the pieces of the whole will be.
Please send questions, inquiries, complete submissions, and proposals to molly@wearehermits.com. Please only submit work that you have authored/created and (in the case of previously published material) which you have permission to re-publish.
For completed work (if relevant and applicable to the media/format):
Label files with name + numeration (e.g. lastname_firstname_1.jpg)
Date the work and include title
Include a short description or statement about the work (if desired)
Attach an artist/author bio (if desired)
Include a link to your website (if desired)
Note to all the creators on my blog: keep this in sight.
