Eternal Press is Great

I signed a contract for my novella Blood Soup with Eternal Press about three weeks ago, but haven’t received a return copy from EP. I’m not worried…It’s coming a long way via snail mail and I live in a location some would deem “rural.” (Others might call it “the sticks.”)

It so happens that on occasion, mail goes astray.

I sent a note off to my contact and had a response almost immediately! I think they’re going to be terrific to work with.

So Here It Is…

I’ve signed a contract with Eternal Press for my novella, Blood Soup, a dark fantasy about a king who sacrifices his twin daughter so that his twin son might live.  Technically, Blood Soup is a reprint since it won a contest in July last year, but I’m not complaining.

Eternal Press suggests that their authors create their own Web site.  I had one at www.sff.net, but nothing really speaks “professional” like buying your own domain.  So here it is.

It feels a little strange, not unlike having your name up in lights…but with some permanency. I’m certain it will feel as comfortable as a worn pair of Levis after my 50th post or so.

Do you like the layout? I hope so. I agonized over it.

The big question is: Do I port all the old stuff over or just start fresh?  Inquiring minds want to know. Or, at least, this one does. I’ll think about it.

For now, it’s a blank slate: sort of like that fresh notebook in September when you’re starting the new school year. I’ve always liked that newness…
