What's up.

Sorry I have been quiet. Lethe Press has been taking so much of my time (especially as we get ready for Readercon). Plus my mood... well, it has been all over the place. Some days upbeat, others filled with self-loathing. Alas, I think it's because I am not writing and not writing well and the realization that I have turned into a publisher rather than a writer is very hard to accept.

I did release:

Alas, sales of Icarus are down. This is my 13th issue and I think only 1 has ever been reviewed. I lose money on every copy sold at this point. Few subscribe and fewer renew. I would like to think it cannot be an issue of quality as we're still publishing award-winning authors like Ginn Hale and Hal Duncan and Sandra McDonald. Maybe the economy. Maybe no one cares about gay spec fic anymore that isn't paranormal romance.

Btw, I need more reviewers for Icarus. We're down to two and when things happen, there's no leeway and I end up stuck without reviews. So if someone would like to make $25+ for reading and reviewing a book, let me know. I have several I can assign (or you can pick from). At least, while I'm still dreaming about the magazine finding readers.
