Friday Interview Up On Black Beacon Blog; New Cover Unconcealed

This comes two days late (the word travels slowly, sometimes, to the cave computer) but my author’s MURDER AND MACHINERY interview is up now on the Black Beacon Books blog. Go to it quickly, though, and be prepared to scroll a few entries down to get to it since it’s already Sunday.

With full title MURDER AND MACHINERY: TALES OF TECHNOLOGICAL TERROR AND MECHANICAL MADNESS (cf. January 26, 4, et al.), the anthology has been graced with a new, more simplified cover as well. One that gets directly to the point. The point being, in this case (to quote from the original guidelines), suspense, technological horror, even a little sci-fi or steampunk. My own tool in this toolbox is called “Vanitas,” originally published in ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S MYSTERY MAGAZINE for January 1996, a steampunky, gothicy saga of 1850s New England and the construction of what it is hoped will be the area’s loudest church organ.

Publication of MURDER AND MACHINERY is currently set for April 3, in just under two weeks, with the book already up for pre-order on Amazon, et al. And for a preview of sorts from some of the authors, as noted above, one need merely press here (but, again, then scroll down to get to mine).
