News, reviews and birthday blues…

Posted on July 27, 2012July 27, 2012 by Richard

Lots to catch up on. Firstly, a bittersweet day this past Wednesday. This site turned one year old and I tried to think of a fitting way to celebrate. Unfortunately, the day job intervened and I didn't have time, which is more or less the story of my life for the past eight months. Ho hum. So happy birthday, website and I'm sorry the best I could come up with was a balloon image. You've done pretty well over the last year, and I hope you last for many more. (more…)

An incredible week!

Posted on July 21, 2012July 21, 2012 by Richard

So World's Collider was published on July 10th and sold pretty well out of the gate, but then something happened on Thursday morning (July 19th) that changed everything. This e-mail was sent to everyone in the UK who had previously bought one of Aaron Rosenberg's books from Amazon. So basically, Amazon UK saw that World's Collider featured Aaron, assumed this was his latest book (which it only sort of is) and publicized it to all his previous customers. Now Aaron has sold quite a lot o...

Steven Savile Interview and news roundup

Posted on July 13, 2012July 14, 2012 by Richard

First up, we have a brand new World's Collider interview on the site today! Steven Savile, one of the biggest names in the anthology, talks to Elise Hattersley. Well worth checking out. So World's Collider was published a few days ago and it's been a mixed week overall. Sales have been pretty good out of the gate and we're getting lots of positive buzz. The launch was marred somewhat by the attack on the book's Amazon page by some lowlife who we know has not even read the book, but this w...

World’s Collider – Delivered!

Posted on June 3, 2012June 6, 2012 by Richard

I am proud and somewhat relieved to have delivered the complete manuscript for World's Collider to Nightscape Press. In the end it took an extraordinary amount of effort, and not just on my part. Pity Steven Savile who had agreed to write the final story. Steven was given a detailed brief explaining how to wrap up all the various plot threads, but given the time crunch towards the end I was still tinkering with the storyline while the final story was being written. Steven was ready to kill me,...

Why World’s Collider Quit Open Casket Press

Posted on May 15, 2012May 17, 2012 by Richard

So it's all over the internet, there isn't much need to be diplomatic any more. I don't go out of my way to badmouth anyone, but in this case I think it's important that everyone who has had negative dealings with a certain publisher needs to speak out. The more of us come out of the closet on this, the less new writers will fall into the same trap. I'm talking of course about Open Casket Press, one-time publishers-to-be of World's Collider. This small press is a one-man show, run by Anthony ...
