I thought I’d use the same title for this post as I did for my last write-up about Nowa Fantastyka. First, because I’m always late. Second, because it is indeed great fun to work with this team. The editor, Marcin Zwierzchowski, has become one of my overseas favorites. Who else would put Jeff Carlson alongside Matt Damon?
Admittedly, Matt gets a little more space on the cover than Jeff. That’s cool.
The October 2015 issue included their translation, into Polish, of my story Long Eyes.
The inestimable Charles Jane Anders released her new title this week, a techno-magical-apocalyptic-love-and-doom novel (try saying that five times in a row!). It’s called All The Birds In The Sky. Not surprisingly, Sky is stacking up positive reviews for being thoughtful yet fast-paced and unique. Check it out!!!
Here is the seriously disturbing June 2015 cover of the sci fi magazine Nowa Fantaskya, a major publication in Poland, whose editor Marcin Zwierzchowski is an individual of taste and genius. I love working with this team!!!!! The 6/15 issue includes fiction by Le Guin and Paolo Bah-cha-gah-loop-ee. (That’s my phonetic spelling; he’s better known to most people as Paolo Bacigalupi of WIND-UP GIRL and SHIPBREAKER fame).
I was excited to see my short story “Pressure” included in the line-up. I should add that this issue arrived promptly in the mail. The tardiness is mine alone. My normal state of affairs is now up-to-my-ears. 😛
As for the clown, well, you wouldn’t want to meet that dude in a dark alley…
Here’s a fun peek at the future.
My friend Adad Warda is one of the driving forces behind SKY CITY HAYA. You remember Adad as the talent who directed, filmed and produced my “mini movie” book trailer for the Plague Year trilogy…
…and keep in mind that Adad filmed and produced this trailer on a total budget consisting of $50 for music and sf/x, one tank of gas, three sandwiches, three Pepsis and a bottle of ketchup for blood. Seriously. That’s it. The tank of gas got us to the mountains. The sandwiches and drinks fed Adad, Chuck and me. Chuck has appeared in a few plays. Me, I’m not an actor at all, but somehow Adad made it work. Magic man!
Now in Prague, Adad and his crew are running a Kickstarter to create a short promo film about the mysteries behind the chief engineer of Sky City Haya, the world’s first floating city. They’ll use this promo to pitch their epic TV series to production companies.
