Enjoy Your Sci-fi and Fantasy How and Where You Want

Beginning July 4th, science fiction and fantasy fans will be given a
new place where they can discover authors and stories they’ll be able
to enjoy wherever they go.  Flagship, the new e-zine by publisher
Flying Island Press, will soon be releasing short stories every other
month in formats for the Kindle, the iPad and iPhone, and other
electronic readers.

Flying Island Press also recognizes the increasing popularity of
podcasts and other forms of audio fiction.  So, in addition to the
e-zine, an audio version will be available to listen to on any MP3
player.  Stories they release will be available both in text and in
audio, allowing the consumer to choose their preferred version.

Zach Ricks, managing editor for Flagship, had this to say.  “I wanted
to hearken back to what some have called the Golden Age of Science
Fiction.”  It’s his hope that “FlagShip will be a place for
optimistic, entertaining fiction.”

Each issue will cost $1.99 for the text version or the audio version
or get both for just $2.99.

Issues will be available starting July 4th, 2010 at

The Man’s Guide To Love #120 from themansguidetolove on Vimeo.

On June 18th, 2010, I will collect all of the responses, assign each a number, and then use a random number generator to select the winners. The first number selected gets the first prize, the second number selected gets second prize, and so on.

Her husband wanted Allison to give up all rightful claims to a fair split in the divorce, and he was incensed to find out that his eviction did not drive her to submit to his demands. He ambushed her with legal proceedings, surprise hearings, and most recently, abuse charges. He was outraged when a judge agreed with Allison, and required him to pay child support. Since that time, he has consistently refused to pay child support, leaving him over five-thousand dollars behind.

For years we have been fighting to keep this child in a safe environment with her mother. Her husband argues that spanking a child at all is abuse, despite the fact that he used to spank her before the split. If you are here, you know us. You know we would never abuse a child. He is doing everything in his power to manipulate the courts into taking Allison’s child away, so that he can force her to capitulate to his demands.

We will fight. We must fight. But the fight is taking it’s toll. We are now thousands of dollars into debt, and the recent abuse charges are going to require new costs for therapists, more legal help, and lots of long-distance travelling. We desperately need help.

I know this is a bad time for the tribe. The recent loss of Natalie Morris is fresh in our minds, as is the horrific disaster in Haiti. But we cannot hold off for a better time. We cannot stop fighting, and we desperately need your help.

There isn’t much I can offer in return. We can offer our heartfelt thanks to all who assist, and you will know that you have made a difference in the life of this wonderful little girl.

Thank you.

What’s less well known is that his wife, Jeanne, has been battling cancer for some time, and it has nearly broken them financially.

I met this guy once at a convention. And while everyone there worshipped him like a pagan god, he and his wife still had time to sit and chat with shlubs like me. I’m honored to say that I’ve given him a pun (read the Callahan Chronicles to understand how cool that is).

These are good people. Noble, wise, and kind people. They deserve our help, and here’s my way of giving it to them.

For the next few days, from now until December 31st, 50% of every sale from the Cthulhu store will be donated directly to the Robinsons.

So help out people who deserve it, and get yourself a little plush madness in the meantime.

Special thanks to Sergeant Jarvis White, who tells us, “Cthulhu says this, ‘I’m having a hard time swallowing he souls of all these soldiers out here.’ Our reply was, ‘Yeah, Iraq does that to you after a while.’”

“I’m the co-host of a sweet podcast called The H.P.Lovecraft Literary Podcast. It’s informative, funny and cool. Each week we go over a different story of HPL’s and talk about it’s content, background and what is says about the man. You can check it out at www.hppodcraft.com or just subscribe through iTunes.”

Thanks Chris!

there is a grand CONSPIRACY afoot.  you have been taught to believe that you are UNIQUE, one of a kind. THIS IS NOT TRUE. long ago, a cabal of scientists created technologies to ensure that ANYONE’S MIND AND BODY can be duplicated.

human cloning isn’t NEAR. it’s already HERE. discover the truth at http://JCHutchins.net

you are being DECEIVED. break free from the cogs, flee the hive, become A PROPHET OF THE TRUTH!

which, you’ve got to admit, is pretty cool. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of Cthulhu stuff, but nothing like that.
