Speaking of Saturn — Hyperion and Theia Contract Arrives; Pre-Halloween Barnes and Noble Discounts for Tombs
A time of revelry and reversal, Saturnalia represents the breakdown of what has been deemed the natural order. HYPERION AND THEIA’s inaugural volume wants stories and poetry that runs the gamut of genres and turns expectations on their heads. Submit a fantastical murder-mystery set in the biggest carnival in Atlantis. Wow us with a sweeping romance in space where gods and goddesses serve their creations after a bloody war. . . .
Such had been the call some months ago and, last December, came the acceptance (cf. December 9 2016). My “epic” poem DREAMING SATURN, originally published in the anthology DARK DESTINY (White Wolf, 1994) would not only be in the inaugural volume, but tentatively would be set as the opening item. A contract would follow.
So you know how it is. Life intrudes, delays happen. But then, yesterday: Sorry for the long wait! I have attached the final contract for you to sign. I will contact you again on the 27th of October with the cover and other promotional material. Suffice to say, the signed contract went back in the email this afternoon.
In other news, a run through the e-bookstores this morning unearthed a 33-percent discount for TOMBS: A CHRONICLE OF LATTER-DAY TIMES OF EARTH on Barnes and Noble, at $9.99 — and that’s just the “official” price, with individual sellers’ new copies as inexpensive as $8.98. There’s no indication how long these prices may last, so best take advantage soon! Amazon, also, while listing the full price of $14.95 on its site, also has several individual listings in the $10 to $11 range. If interested, check out Barnes and Noble by pressing here; while Amazon can continue to be found, including several substantive reviews, by clicking TOMBS’ picture in the center column.
