Novel Getting Published and Other News

It’s been a while. Despite all my best intentions to get back on the blogging train, I keep getting distracted…probably by shiny objects. Still, there are things happening. First, the big news that you already know if you follow me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ericdontigneywriter/).

My novel, The Midnight Ground, got picked up by Rampant Loon Press for publication later this year. It’s tentatively scheduled for release in July, but that’s subject to change.

Right now, it’s all the background stuff that the general public never sees. We settled on a general style for the cover art, so now they’re looking for an artist to actually do the cover. Later there will be copyedits and proofreading. All of which is very exciting to me, but doesn’t translate into interesting things for me to show you here, on Twitter, or on Facebook.

Rest assured, though, that updates will be forthcoming as time goes by.

I also have a short story, titled Lenses, getting published in the next issue of Stupefying Stories. Assuming life doesn’t intervene, which is always a possibility, it’ll probably be out sometime in April.

If you click on the little tab above that says, Other Places to Read Me, you’ll find some new links to some Op-Eds I’ve been writing for the Stupefying Stories website. Some are about the craft of writing and some aren’t.

I’ve also taken on some responsibility for managing the Stupefying Stories Facebook page and some ancillary social media duties. You can find links to hardcore science content, interviews with authors in science fiction and fantasy, and a lot of other geeky content. If it sounds like your kind of thing, check out the Stupefying Stories page here.

As for new fiction writing…yep, that’s still happening. I’m chipping away at 4 or 5 books right now. If I think of it later, I’ll try to put up some status bars so you guys can stalk my progress.

Okay, that’s it for now!
