Don't Open Till Doomsday and New Music Available Now
PunksWritePoemsPress has recently released their sci-fi anthology
Don't Open Till Doomsday
, which features my short story, "Mira." The anthology was originally supposed to feature both sci-fi and fantasy stories, but they trimmed back the scope just a bit during the editorial process. My story is more in the fantasy realm, but it has a distinctly apocalyptic flavor that easily fits the anthology's theme. You can pick up a physical copy today from Amazon by clicking the cover below:
In other news, I've recently started up a new ambient electronic music project called Morana's Breath (more on that name in a moment). What started out as an experiment has quickly morphed into a more ambitious undertaking, resulting in two full length albums: In the Sky and bones of the earth. More music will be coming by the end of the year, so be sure to follow @moranasbreath on twitter for the latest updates. I've released both albums digitally on Bandcamp, where you can download the whole album or pick and choose from individual tracks. Simply click on the album covers below to check them out:
So, the name.
Yes, I know it's similar to the title of my upcoming book, Mirona's Law. In fact, you might even recognize that "Mirona's breath" is a frequent curse used by characters in The Walls of Dalgorod . Truth be told, Mirona, the Rostogovian goddess of death and winter, is closely based upon Morana, a pagan Slavic goddess associated with (you guessed it) death and winter. When I adapted numerous Slavic deities for Rostogov's pantheon, I changed the spellings slightly just to give them a different flavor and set them slightly apart from their historical basis. When I was trying to think of a name for this music project, my wife suggested "Mirona's Breath." Since the albums really aren't specifically aimed at people familiar with my writing, I thought it best to change the spelling back to one of the accepted transliterations (of which there are several) to avoid any confusion.
In other news, I've learned that Mirona's Law, the upcoming sequel to The Walls of Dalgorod , is tentatively scheduled for release in April of 2017. And don't forget to mark July 28 on your calendar for the release of the Curiosity Quills steampunk anthology Under a Brass Moon, which features my short story "The Iron Face of God." There are a couple more anthologies in the pipeline, so I'll be sure to provide details as they become available.
