Announcing My New Mysterious Project

December 20, 2012

Astute readers may have guessed that I’m up to something a bit mysterious. And while I’m going to tell you what’s going on, that won’t end the suspense. In fact, I hope, it will only make things more thrilling.

Okay. Enough beating around the thesaurus. I am pleased to announce my new project: Plan B Mystery Magazine.

In the new year, Plan B will be posting weekly short fiction in the mystery, crime, suspense and thriller genres, free to read online. We will also be compiling the stories into quarterly anthologies which will be available as ebooks. An annual subscription to the anthologies will be available for purchase as will the individual anthologies.

As you know, I believe that quality work should be compensated, so we intend for Plan B to be a semi-pro paying market. To that end, we will be launching an IndieGoGo campaign in January 2013 to raise the funds necessary to pay our authors.

Want to be a part of it? If you’re a reader, just hang on. When I launch the campaign there will be lots of opportunities to contribute and get great goodies. If you are a writer or a visual artist, we are accepting submissions now. Go read the guidelines then send us your best mystery work.

For those of you who are more interested in my SF writing, worry not. I’m still working on plenty of speculative work. This is just another project, not a change of focus. But I am really stoked about it, so there’s a good chance I’ll talk about it a bit. That’s how it goes.

For more Plan B news, follow us on twitter, facebook or G+.

Mystery Writers and Fans Wanted

December 13, 2012

As an adjunct to last week’s post, I’m on the hunt for folks who write short fiction in the mystery, detective, crime and thriller genres. I’m also looking for readers of same.

I am working on a not secret but not yet officially announced project that I plan to launch in the New Year, and could use a little signal boost. If you know of a mystery writer or fan, please pass their name on to me or pass this post on to them. Feel free to hit me up on twitter, facebook or G+ with links to likely folks.

I thank you and I suspect they will, too.

Retaking Elysium

Mars is good place to reinvent yourself, isn’t it?

Jules Morales’s life has always been a state of contact change. When the opportunity comes up, why not take a trip to Mars to work on the platinum mining operation—and make a load of money? But what if there is more to Mars than just a payday and an adventure?

The woman now calling herself Lisa Marie has spent her whole life trapped by the struggle to make ends meet, and sometimes held hostage by her own memories. On Mars she might finally find financial security, but will she also find something to care about today, and maybe even for the future?
