But For Now We Are Young
From dream to reality, And One Day We Will Die, the Neutral Milk Hotel-inspired anthology conceived curated, edited, and now published by me has now been on sale for almost 3 weeks.
I couldn’t be happier with the response in terms of sales, reviews, and general vibes for the project. The authors involved well and truly wrote their hearts out.
And this upcoming Tuesday (February 4) there will be a charity launch event to celebrate the release of this truly special anthology.
In Athens, GA (home of Neutral Milk Hotel!), Nuçi’s Space will host an evening to celebrate the book, with all proceeds going to Nuçi’s, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention with a specific focus on musicians. It’s a fantastic cause and one that makes for a natural fit with this anthology.
If you’re anywhere near the area, please go check out the event: But For Now We Are Young (that line being the lyrical flipside to the anthology title). Not only will there be books for sale but also posters made of the brilliant cover art c/o Chris Bilheimer! And live music.
I really wish I could make it but I know the book and its celebration will be in good hands, as Athens-based Lillah Lawson (whose story “Untitled” kicks off the anthology) will be on-hand for the event.
Meanwhile in Minnesota…
I had 2 books released last month: the anthology And One Day We Will Die: Strange Stories Inspired by the Music of Neutral Milk Hotel (editing and publishing) AND my Mad Axe Media sci-fi/horror novella JK-LOL. And this month (February), I get to celebrate the release of both books in person.
On Saturday February 22, 12 to 2 pm, I will be selling and signing copies of BOTH books at Fair Trade Books in Red Wing, MN. If you’re in the area, come on out and say hi. If you know someone in the area, tell them to come out and buy some books.
Excited to meet folks, hopefully connect with new readers, and just have fun talking about these 2 very weird, very fun, very different projects.
Taking the Show on the Road…
Then, in March, I’ll be bringing both of the above-mentioned titles and copies of the rest of my books down to San Antonio for the upcoming Ghoulish Fest. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about this book fest put on by the Ghoulish team of Max Booth and Lori Michelle, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to vend at the event.
I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people. Selling books and buying books. Again, if you’re attending, pop over to my table and say “Hi!”
That’s March 14 and 15 for those interested in such things.
I’m hoping to up my in-person appearances in 2025 and Ghoulish was top of my list on new places where this might get done. If you’re around and would like to see me do more events/make appearances, then come on out and buy some books.
Bullet Point Miscellany
Check out this collage sneak-preview of the interior art from my much-talked-about talking animal/crime/cosmic horror novella The Nut House from Undertaker Books. Interior artist J.C. Amberlyn really took things to the next level and I can’t wait for you all to see the finished pieces inside the book:
- Remember: you can get a FREE copy of my new 4-story mini-collection Fairy Tales to Tell in the Dark when you sign up as a free subscriber to this very newsletter: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/hdjxuggrt4
- My Killer VHS novella Night of the Witch-Hunter is out next month from Shortwave. Got a few podcast appearances lined up for this one so be on the look out for links.
- Also a couple more appearances forthcoming for other titles. Hope y’all don’t get sick of me!
- Wrapping up edits for my debut novel Abducted for Dark Matter Ink. Really happy with how this one is shaping up. That’s currently slated for an August on-sale date. Which means…I gotta get back to revising!
