Today I sent Chris Fletcher at M-Brane SF the copy-edited stories for the 2020 Visions anthology. Aside from one minor rewrite request, everything is done on my end. Now, we wait while the publisher takes a turn. Chris is trying to get the book released by November. That’s a pretty… Continue reading
I am plowing through the copy edits for 2020 Visions. I have around 11,000 words remaining, then I need to write the introductions for all the stories. I hope to have that finished before I allow myself to go to Coppercon this weekend. I have seen the cover art, and… Continue reading
The cover art for the 2020 Visions anthology is in progress right now. The artist we are working with is Jonathon M Fowler. I met Jonathon at the 2010 Phoenix ComiCon and we had a nice long discussion about writing and art, and about the anthology. Jonathon had with him… Continue reading

I met Spencer Ellsworth in 2005 when we were classmates at Orson Scott Card’s Literary Boot Camp. His fiction is gripping and compelling. Spencer is the winner of the 2009 PARSEC contest. He worked for a literary agent long enough to know he did not want to become one. He… Continue reading
With a story that can easily be taken as symbolic of some events in today’s world, David Boop represents the #11 spot in the table of contents of 2020 Visions with a story called Organ Cloning While You Wait. I have known David for a number of years, mainly just… Continue reading
Jack Mangan is mainly known for his Deadpan podcast, a regular show composed of humor, fiction, and music. Give the show a try, it’s a lot of fun. I’ve known Jack for a number of years and he lives local to me. Of the writers appearing in 2020 Visions, he… Continue reading
