Steve’s Update 3/30/2015

Hello gang, not too much to say today. I’m coming down from a pretty busy time, recovering, and finishing undone chores.

First of all, I’m doing an Undead Generator over at Seventh Sanctum, so stay tuned.

Working on some new writing plans for MuseHack.  I’m focusing on culture for awhile -and I HAVE to revive Civic Geek somehow.

I AM now planning my next books, so stay tuned.

I’m also probably going to do more here – but turn the newsletter into a blog feed to make it easier.

Respectfully,

– Steven Savage

Look For AlternaTEAS!

Hey Gang, just heard that someone is looking for writers – for something rather unusual!

AlternaTEAS is a Steampunk/Urban Fantasy anthology published by Sky Warrior Books. The reading period is from March 1, 2015 to July 31st, 2015.

The anthology will include stories (from between 5,000-7,500 words — please query me if outside the boundaries of those already stated). Stories will be of intrigue, assignations and assassinations plotted (or committed) over a cup of tea . You are not limited to specific people or set in Victorian England. Japan, India and even the US have fine tea traditions. The more out of the ordinary a story is, the more I’m likely to keep it. Humor is not out of order.

Submission Guidelines:

  1. No story is considered complete if it does not have a ~100 word autobiography. I do not read incomplete stories. Period.
  2. Stories should be in standard accepted ms. format and submitted as an attachment in Word97, Open Office or .RTF
  3. Submission letters should have “AlternaTEAS submission” in the Subject line and be sent to ANTHOLOGIES@SKYWARRIORBOOKS..COM or LACEGILLIGAN@GMAIL.COM
  4. If you have a question, PLEASE contact me at Alterna_TEAS on FB or in email at the address given below.
  5. Your ms. should have contact information: Name, mailing address phone number and email address. If we can’t contact you, we can’t buy your story.
  6. Payment is author share divided equally among the authors. We pay twice a year.
  7. No simultaneous Submissions. We prefer no reprints.
  8. Further information about Sky Warrior Books can be found on their website at: www.skywarriorbooks.com

Steve’s Update 3/23/2015

Hello everyone and I hope you’re doing well!  Busy here as always, but I’m hoping for some sanity.

I started a new job so that’s kept me busy, though as it’s a contract it’s not going to involve as much overtime.  I’m just adjusting to a somewhat different schedule.

As for what I’m doing next, I’m getting my plans in order after the last few crazy weeks.  More cooking, writing at Muse Hack and Seventh Sanctum, and hopefully new generators!

I also want to try to do more writing.  At Muse Hack I’m also going to explore some social issues of geeks to branch out a bit.

Also I really need to update CivicGeek – it’s been awhile.

So let’s see how the weeks to come go!
Respectfully,
