Update on the new Zine

Been promising an update on the new Davezine, (number 14).

So far, I have a mock-up, with a cover, a feature, and 3 small stand-alone excerpts from a project I was working on last summer. I've decided to go small with this one...maybe 20 to 24 pages as opposed to 40 or so that I had been doing before. In my research of zines that are out now, I've discovered that whatever I've been doing, it has been too much. And people don't really read longer works. I always wanted to provide more value, more bang for the buck, but at this point, I just don't think I need to think that way. And besides, less pages means I can put it out more cheaply.

The zine may be a place for smaller works, for personal stories to go along with my yearly novels. I am really happy with "The Rise and Fall of the Parochialist" as a feature. It is like a flashback to ten years ago. And I think people might like the random excerpts. I promise, they work outside the larger stories from where they come.

So...I'll see how this goes. I hope people are interested. I know I have a few old school fans who are looking forward to it. I hope this doesn't disappoint. I don't think it will, but then again, what do I know?

Davezine 14 will be out around March 31, 2018.

My last book was Pain Center: the Novel, and you can get it here: http://davecookson.tripod.com/PainCen...
