Coming Together

[impressive]

Over on the Author's Hangout, we've an anthology project underway -- a serial publication (publish-on-demand) containing erotic stories, poems, and illustrations selected by those participating. Juried, so to speak. There will be roughly 10 stories per volume with a poem before each -- ostensibly one with the same tone/gist as the story it preceeds (or otherwise connected in some ethereal way).

Anyway, just thought y'all might be interested in playing. The link's in my sig. First volume is full and layout is almost finished. Second volume is filling fast.

We hope to have the first volume ready for launch by mid-June. Second shortly after. Subsequent volumes as they're filled. Proceeds go to charity (a free speech organization, to be determined).

Thank you, neo & Tristesse -- your poems will appear in volume 2.

Thank you, neo & Tristesse -- your poems will appear in volume 2.

That's fabulous!

Thanks for the invite to be part of an AH collaboration and I can't wait to pick up a copy of each volume.

Volume 3 is filling up quickly -- with stories. No poems have yet been vetted for that issue.

Volume 1 is ready except for finalizing the illustrations, cover art, and Foreward/Preface.

Volume 2 will be released in August. Its poets include:

It's never too late to get involved -- and all are welcome. This serial will be published as long as enough material is submitted (and vetted). See "details" link in my sig for ... well, details.

Questions.
I remember donating a poem, which I now see on the list. How do I find out if I sent you a bio and what in the world I wrote in it. lol
Will we be able to buy the book on the phaze site? Do you know how much?
End of questions... for now.

In the Erotic Anthology site, it says "WickedEve is a stunning, southern creature who is tragically afflicted with poetry trances. She credits all her work to automatic writing. She believes her hand is guided by some brilliant poet – long dead and quite possibly sexy – and she loves her hot red car, Fifi." It sounds like you.

Oh. I was worried that I said something silly. But that bio is just fine and dandy.

The Bios can all be viewed on the Coming Together blog at:

Yes, the book will be for sale on the Phaze site the last week of October. Initially, it will be an eBook release. Later, print. Price (I'm guessing based on other Phaze works of similar length) will be $6 for eBook, $12 for print.

It should also be for sale on Fictionwise.com at that time, too.



An aside: For those of you with eBooks of poetry published between 10/1/2005 and 9/30/2006 (including self-/vanity published), EPPIE nominations are being accepted now ... and they're short on poetry nominees:
