3133: that’s the final tally of unique monthly visitors to my website, www.thefictioneer.com, in August! Thanks again for putting me over the top, setting a new record for the site. It’s great to know I’m reaching so many people with my work. Please do let friends and family know about the site, and invite them to stop by, too. After all, this Friday will see the action-packed return of the classic Pot Luck Theater feature! PLT brings new fiction, poetry, or just plain random craziness to The Fictioneer site. It’s guaranteed to raise an eyebrow or at least a big, juicy raspberry or Bronx cheer. You won’t find anything quite like it anywhere else on the web, that’s for sure.
This week, I’ve also obtained the table of contents for Destination: Future, the upcoming science fiction anthology from Hadley-Rille books. My story, “One Awake in All the World,” will appear alongside work by some real greats, including the fabled Mike Resnick. Mike is a great guy and an amazing, award-winning writer, and it’s truly an honor to share a table of contents with him. The TOC for Destination: Future can be found here and here and goes like this:
