The anthology Out of Control, of which you are a part of, was originally scheduled for release this month. Unfortunately, S***** Press is on hiatus for the near future. They are planning to start printing projects next year, on an as possible schedule. Out of Control is about fifth in the line-up. It doesn’t look good.

While I’m waiting for any news from S***** I am actively looking for another publisher for this project. I have high hopes that I can sell it somewhere else!

You might ask: G___, you’re a publisher, why don’t you publish it? S.T. Press is scheduled deep into 2006/07, and we only do so many erotic titles (and anthologies) per year. I don’t see a way to jiggle (right now, anyway) a spot for it.

I’ll keep you posted.

xxx, G___

This was indeed a bummer. But that's the way things work in publishing. It's not like it's going to delay this great amount of money. The main part of the joy of publishing with these guys is the recognition, not the tiny $100 that each author receives.

One of the things it does mean, however, is that I'm going to have to start getting some of the pieces that I have already written to other sources, notably magazines like Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine and Harrington Gay Men's Fiction Quarterly. Time to turn some more of these gems into money!

I've also got a reading on Friday, and I've only just begun to write the first page. I've got a lot of the story in my head, or at least the basis, but I really have to sit down and do some intense writing in order to pump it out and make it a viable and entertaining story.

If anyone is interested, we're at Pride Factory in Fort Lauderdale at 1:00 until 3:00. The event is hosted by Pride Factory and Lavender Writes, and for the first time, we've got popular local gay icon, Marc Hansen, to MC! Be sure to come by.
