Roar of the Crowd Accepted

Jason | March 16, 2010

Roar of the Crowd acceptances have gone out!
This was a tough theme, to write for and select stories for. The specific nature of the theme, coupled with the dual requirements of speculative element and irreplaceable crowd interaction, proved difficult for numerous submissions.
Yet RotC officially met its target of 150,000 words! A little [...]

Curious Challenge! Antho poll comments

Jason | March 4, 2010

I realize that some of you have had difficulty accessing the SodaHead poll recently created and posted over in the right sidebar. It’s the first time I’ve created a poll via their service that came via a Wordpress plug-in I thought would be a simple way to solicit input. I myself had to recreate the [...]

State of RBE – March ‘10

Jason | March 3, 2010

Been a bit. When the situation had not changed much I was a bit despondent and not up to repeating the same old story. Things are looking up though
Demons: A Clash of Steel is still in editing…slowly moving along. Some edits, some contracts, even some payments are rendered. I’m trying to push the [...]

Thrilling new review of RotB @ IGMS

Jason | December 19, 2009

I enjoyed a fine and fun lunch at Dragon*Con ‘09 this past September with a table of exciting characters: editor Lou Anders (Editorial Director @ Pyr), author Gray Rinehart (Slushmaster General @ Baen Books), and author James Maxey and his wife. Besides being the author of the Dragon Age series (that I just happened to [...]

RotC Submission Period Change

Jason | November 17, 2009

Due to numerous reasons, only one of which is the to-date underwhelming number of submissions, I have decided to extend the submission period for Roar of the Crowd. This will of course, push the publication date further into 2010.
***RotC Submissions: August 1 – January 31, 2010***
Submissions will be read en masse throughout February 2010,
and all [...]
