It’s official, my next novel will be published this year in September by Crossing Chaos enigmatic ink! The book is called MARVELLOUS HAIRY, and here’s the blurb:

So hair is sprouting in unspeakable places and you can no longer carry a tune, but if you’re a surrealistic artiste with an addiction to Freudian mythology and guilt-free sex, turning into a monkey has its upsides.

Nick Motbot may be evolving as a novelist, but his friends aren’t too sure about his DNA — at least, not since Gargantuan Enterprises started experimenting with it. And once they figure out what’s happening to him, they decide to set things right. MARVELLOUS HAIRY is a satirical novel about a group of friends sticking it to the man the only way they know how, with equal parts grain alcohol and applied Chaos Theory.

As you can see from the dates, there wasn’t a lot of news to report in 2008, though I was working.

In May, the Romanian print magazine, Sci-Fi Magazin published a translation of my short story “Under the Blue Curve“, originally published in Abyss & Apex. I don’t think it had anything to do with publishing my story, but unfortunately Sci-Fi Magazin ceased publication shortly thereafter.

And coming this February or March, Yareah, a Spanish Arts Magazine will be publishing a reprint of “The Monkey’s Tail, as Told by Marcel Duchamp the Day After Charles Lindbergh Landed at Le Bourget Field“.
