Both John Hemry and John C. Wright, maybe joining us for BOM. |
| 10JUN15 |
NML is now moving into high gear, with both the MWSA and Broad Universe are onboard with the project. They will extend my formal invitation to have their female members submit to the project. |
| 10JUN03 |
Back from Balticon, have invited John French (a member of the Baltimore CSI; guess what he writes) and Eric Hardenbrock (Army Veteran) to join us for DTFVI Best Laid Plans (in 2010). |
| 10APR28 |
Finished the cover for BOM, now I can get back to submissions and icon design. |
| 10xxxxx |
For the first time, we will have two new authors "flying standby" for a chance to get into the series, Mark Morgan (Army Veteran) and Mark O. Chapman (author of Scout Squad: Going Native). |
| 10APR02 |
Hospitalized with stomach flu, almost died of dehydration. |
| 10MAR29 |
Finished the Mess hand for the cover. Everything else is old-school primitives. |
| 10FEB22 |
Real world obligations (family, home and finding work) are starting to close in on me. I'll have to work hard to finish all of my current projects, with luck I'll have another few months if my health doesn't get in the way. |
| 10JAN11 |
Sales figures for the books are in, SIB (combined e-/books) was over 1,000 units, with BTH (Dark Quest addition only) at 800 plus. This is great by small press standards. Happy, happy. Joy, joy. |
| 10JAN10a |
The All'Arc MRPG is now back on the table. Instead of a MilSciFi game, we are going back to my original concepts of having a core role book. It turns out, several other authors want games based on their works. The publisher is planning on using the MRPG as the rules for all. |
| 10JAN10 |
Okay, just met with Neal of Dark Quest, we have a special addition to DTF, "No Man's Land (NML) DTF IV", this one has ALL female author's. Planned for 2011, with "Best Laid Plans (BLP) DFT V" --the one originally slotted as book IV-- planned for mid 2012 (providing the world doesn't come to an end). |
| 10JAN04 |
Andy Remic is back with "Rebecca", sounds like fun. |
| 10JANxx |
The book is starting to fill up, so I may have to down-out, but if there's room, I'm going for an All'Arc story staring the Parr Scouts, oddly enough entitled "Parr None". |
| 10JANxx |
Both Jeff Young and Danielle Ackley-McPhail, have submitted their story ideas.
|
| 09DEC24 |
New to the family is Peter Prellwitz, author of the Shards Universe, with a possible back- or side- story to said universe. |
| 09DEC23 |
The first submission to BOM is officially from Robert E. Waters (the "E" is important, for there is another Robert Waters who writes other-stuff), "Devil Dancers" was originally slated for SIB, but as does happens, was bumped to the next book. |
| 09mmmdd |
Danielle Ackley-McPhail proposed a story set within her published version of the Alliance Archives series. |
| 09mmmdd |
Jeff Young had talked to me almost a year ago, about a story he was working on (unrelated to the DTF projects) and much to his horror, I liked the idea and invited him to submit to the next book. |
