David Niall Wilson has opened Macabre Ink Digital Publishing. The site will function as a market for short fiction, novels, collections, and anthologies. The main focus of the site is to give a second life to stories that have already been published and are now just sitting on hard drives wasting space. Stories can be downloaded for $1.00 each in PDF, MOBI, KINDLE, and EPUB formats. If a reader buys 12 or more stories, or spends $13.00 or more on downloads, there is a Reader’s Choice discount. The site will be expanding to include a number of new authors in the near future. Updates on what’s available at http://www.macabreink.com/macabreinkpublishing--the store is at http://www.macabreink.store. Be sure to check the “About” and “Guidelines” pages. Linda Dunn’s short story, “The Gifting of Nyla’s Son,” is now available in the paperback anthology, Sky Whales and Other Wonders, published by Norilana Press. Rhonda
Eudaly has started the year with a free, downloadable short story on her website. She
is looking forward to AggieCon and ConDFW in early February - along with the upcoming
release of The Four Redheads of the Apocalypse:
Apocalypse Now! James S. Dorr’s short story “In the
Octopus’s Garden” (originally published in 69 Flavors of Paranoia,
March-April 1999) has just come out as a reprint in The Book of Tentacles from Sam’s
Dot, while another reprint “Pets” (originally in The Darker Side: Generations of Horror, Roc, 2002)
is scheduled for the Australian electronic anthology The Tangled Bank.
In poetry, Dorr starts the new year with original work forthcoming in Star*Line,

Smith Publications, Robin’s story takes place against the background of the 1936
elections. Cover and illustrations by the
amazing Courtney Stephens. The first issue is

Please don’t read it in the dark. Kathy’s humor essay, “Menopause Barbie,” got Finalist in Humorpress.com’s October/November contest. Her two essays, “Confessions of a Husband Beater,” and “Man For All Seasons, Woman of All Fashions” received Semi-Finalist and Honorable Mention respectively in their August/September contest. Mark Tiedemann
says, “Starting off on a positive
step, I’ve made a change on the site. Not
much of a one, but it could lead to something special. “The Art page at www.marktiedemann.com has been
static for some time now. Technical issues
among other things. But I decided to move the
art to a site that can give me a little better control and offer the possibility of
expanding this part of my creative life. Take
the plunge, go for it, I say, put your stuff out there where people can see it. “So over the weekend, with a bit of help from my
webmaster, I changed the Art link to a hosting site that offers a nicer look and some
bells and whistles. You can go to my main page
and click on Art or just go to http://markimages.zenfolio.com/. “If I get enough visitors, comments, hits, etc that
it seems worthwhile, I can upgrade this site to allow people to purchase an original “Meantime, I can add more images to this page much
more easily than with the original and the display is better. I’m fairly pleased with the look. “So if you think it’s worth a look, please
spread the word. I think (he admits modestly)
I’ve done some decent photography in my time and I’ve been wanting to showcase
it to more advantage. This might be the
solution. “Thank you and enjoy the show.” Andrew Zimmerman Jones has written String Theory for Dummies as part of Wiley
Publishing’s popular “For Dummies” series, just going to show that you can
write anything simple enough if you try. Jones’ science writing can regularly be
