NEWS and NOTES: April 4, 2011

Greetings Fellow Readers.

Welcome to another edition of NEWS and NOTES.

NEWS:

- I finally got the new Arcana Magi Title page drawn. After a few more tweaks, I will have it post up in the 'Arcana Magi Universe' Fictionaut Page this Friday at 4:00 P.M. EST.

- The Short Story 'Artemis Neo' will be undergoing it's second draft this week. It will undergo a Submission Run after final tweakings.

- 'The Geolyth Equation' Short Story is currently in delay mode. This is due to the struggle to write it without being cliche or a ripoff of Lovecraft. But it's getting there.

- There are no status changes on the Submission Run of my short story 'Feral'.

- 'Arcana Magi Zero Vol. 1' is on a Special Submission Run. It was sent off after NEWS and NOTES was posted last week. I shortened the title to just 'Arcana Magi Zero'. Like I said it's a special run so after this, there won't be another attempt. For now there is no status change.

- Now I mentioned that this Summer I will be making Fictionaut Short Story postings, since this Spring I want to concentrate on getting Stories Published. I am happy to announce that the upcoming Summer Short Stories will be inspired by two of my favorite old television programs, The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. I have the title but I won't announce it just yet. Depending on time and length, due to New Arcana Magi stories coming in the Fall, I will try to get more that one story up and running on Fictionaut. As soon as I get them written, I will make the formal announcements and dates.

- Speaking of Titles, I would like to formally announce the new 'Arcana Magi Novelettes', 'Arcana Magi Cross' and 'Arcana Magi Pure'. These two will be the new additions to the 'Arcana Magi Novelette' line joining 'Arcana Magi Memorial' and it's upcoming sequel Volume 2. I already have the plots outlined for all three, it's just of a matter of settling on characters, magic, settings, and so on. I look forward to expanding the 'Arcana Magi Universe' this Fall.

- I still haven't forgotten my 'Arcana Magi' Short Story. I just haven't settled on the title yet. Plus I have a feeling this may not come out until January of 2012. I'll keep you posted on any changes, but I definitely am intending to post it on Fictionaut.

- Some time this month, I will create my Facebook page, linking up to Fictionaut's Facebook page. I still have yet to decide on what to title my Facebook Account. I'll keep everything posted and up to date regarding this.

NOTES:

I will posting NEWS and NOTES this Friday to mark the unveiling of the new Arcana Magi Title Page at 4:00 P.M. EST.

That's all for NEWS and NOTES today.

Until next time,
See ya.
