Although S.M. Stirling’s apparently calling these books (Island in the Sea of Time, Against the Tide of Years, and On the Oceans of Eternity) the Island series. Basic concept: something sends the island of Nantucket back to the Bronze Age. Adventures ensue.
Anyway: I recently replaced my copies of the last two books in the series (they somehow managed to fall into a washing machine), so now I’m rereading them. Good, alt-history/time travel fun.
I like the look of ALTER EGO (or THE DARING DOUBLE LIFE OF ACE ADAMS). Pretty much literally: it’s a cheerfully retro superhero comic, complete with a 1950s aesthetic and style. It’s funded, but every little bit helps, right?
Anyway, two days to go!
‘Going in the Record’ is even worse than you think. It didn’t just grab everything you’ve ever posted. Oh, no. It also grabbed everything you wrote, but then deleted before hitting ‘Send.’
Continue reading ‘Going in the Record.’Money’s come in, so it’s time to start constructing SKUs and setting up the Backerkit store and the rest of it. I also should be getting chapters soon, and once that happens things start to move along. We’re well on track to fulfilling TINSEL RAIN early, but if I want that to stay on track then I had better get cracking, right?
I’ll put up links when they’re ready. In the meantime, there’s my Amazon page.
Mostly spent getting my barony’s newsletter in final shape, emailing people about stuff involving the book, and general fiddling with stuff. But at least everything I had to do today, got done. That’s not nothing.
Hopefully the coming days will be more conventionally creative, though.
Dunno if this is going anywhere: I had the thought this evening, and wanted to get the beginning down before I forgot it.
Continue reading Snippet: MOUTH.I don’t want to just abandon THE STARS ARE WRONG: it’s a fun Cthulhu Mythos story where I was trying to switch things up a little. I don’t think it deserves to just end up as an academic footnote somewhere. So I’m putting up the link again, in the hopes it’ll get more play this time. Or, you know, any play at all.
Because you strike when the iron is hot, that’s why. If everybody else is calling a special day, just for them – then why shouldn’t I?
