September was quite a month for things to do, with an immensely successful inaugural Escapist Expo, great author events with Scott Sigler, Andy Duncan, Neil Gaiman, Junot Diaz, Brent Weeks, and Steven Erikson, and the grand re-opening of Sci-Fi Genre Comics and Games under its new name and at its new Westgate Drive location as Atomic Empire. October is just about as packed, starting with Michael Chabon TONIGHT at Quail Ridge Books and continuing throughout the month. There are

Vol 2. No 6. September 3, 2012:

Welcome to September, which is so packed with speculative fiction events that I'm thinking of calling it "Spec-tember". Any objections? Before I get too far here, there are two big-name ticketed events coming up that, like the charity screening of Serenity did earlier this summer, might sell out:

• Neil Gaiman at The Varsity Theater in Chapel Hill, as part of the Unchained Tour on Thursday September 20; tickets are $20 online and at Flyleaf Books, with two events in South

No e-mail newsletter this month

Posted on 2012-03-12 at 16:35 by montsamu

Well, as it's nearly the Ides of March and I haven't sent one out, just going to call it that there won't be an e-mail newsletter this month. Finally finished closing the tax books on 2011 which has been a big time sink, and now will find time to put the final touches on issue #7 and send it to the printers. Therewill be something fun going on in April, namely an honest to goodness issue launch party, but I don't want to plan it or announce it until I have a ship date from the printers. (Too many close
