Cone Zero cover

[realthog]

And here's the cover for Des Lewis's imminently forthcoming (July) anthology Cone Zero, otherwise known as Nemonymous 8 -- it being the eighth in Des's highly distinguished Nemonymous series. It's also the first to have a story of mine, which may or may not be a good sign.


 


As a reminder, the Nemonymous principle is that, although there's a random-order list of their names on the back, the authors of individual stories aren't identified in the book, so that the work is left to speak for itself sans reader preconceptions based on the author's name and/or repute. The listing of stories-with-authors for Nemonymous 8 will be given in Nemonymous 9 and, around the time of publication of the latter, in various places online.

Thanks!

That's an interesting publishing concept.

How is it playing?

Love, C.

"How is it playing?"

Well, this is number 8 in the series . . .

[al-zorra.livejournal.com]

It works, then!

Love, C.

I'd guess so!

Congratulations!

I've been in two different Nemonymous editions, and I'd have submitted to this volume as well had it been unthemed. But I couldn't wrap my head around the "Cone Zero" concept. Maybe I just wasn't thinking in a surreal enough manner, but I couldn't come up with a story idea that matched.

If you read Des's small print, there was a caveat in there saying that the stories didn't necessarily have to have anything to do with "Cone Zero" at all.

By the way, did you get my e-mail the other day about where to send stuff for review?

[scottedelman.livejournal.com]

If there was fine print there, it was too fine for me to see it. Ah, well, it's too late now!

And as for an e-mail, I can't remember one, but here's how to submit items for review in Science Fiction Weekly.

It was actually SCI FI Magazine I was asking about, but the SF Weekly info is useful too! Thanks for it.

[scottedelman.livejournal.com]

Well, the address is the same for either, so you're set.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Intriguing concept. Intriguing cover.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

"Intriguing concept."

It is, isn't it?

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Indeed. The important thing, of course, is that you get paid.

(In my line of business, the important thing is getting published.)

"The important thing, of course, is that you get paid."

They've already paid me. *swagger*

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Which leads me to ask if you have a swagger stick?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

"Which leads me to ask if you have a swagger stick?"

No, it's just that I'm glad to see people.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

After major surgery? I'll bet!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well . . .
