Read an excerpt: Moral Turpitude, Fella by John Edward Lawson
Words are slippery things and though we have bridled them with grammar, feel at ease in the presence of a common turn of phrase, they have not been completely tamed. And there are still writers who are both brave and foolhardy enough to let words out of their cages, feed them despite the signs that clearly state not to and prod them with sticks to see what they might do.
The Red King Black Rook chapbook is a steampunk fable for the modern age. It tells the story of a king's court and what happens when a crafty avian advisor, the Rook, gains the king's ear.
Written and illustrated by Steven Archer it includes more than 30 ink drawings. (Although Archer previously illustrated a children's book this is intended for adults only).
The Deluxe Limited Edition is now sold out!
The Limited Edition comes signed and numbered and includes a Hopeful Machines CD soundtrack to the story (numbered 26-75)
The Standard Edition comes unsigned and unumbered, does not include a CD and has no limit

The sheer energy and passion and intensity, the linguistic virtuosity of Eric Miles Williamson’s latest novel, Welcome to Oakland, will leave readers breathless.
Read an excerpt.
"Fuse the brains of Henry Miller and Louis-Ferdinand Celine, place within the skull of a contemporary American novelist, and set this person to work. The result would be Eric Miles Williamson’s Welcome to Oakland. Oakland, Williamson’s Oakland, anyway, is sordid and awful, but also honorable and real. Similarly, the characters in his huge cast are both splendidly oversized and entirely human and sympathetic. A roller coaster of a book that leaves you standing on life’s solid ground."
—Jake Fuchs
"There’s books you can’t put down, sure, but every great once in a while there’s a book like this, a book that grabs you by the face and makes you stare deeper into it than you really want, so that you never forget. Get ready to be intimidated, insulted, and amazed, sometimes all in the same sentence."
—Stephen Graham Jones
Jodi Lee interviewed Jeremy Shipp about his recent success and advice for authors that included this useful nugget—"Rejection slips are an important part of a writer's breakfast, and supply the body with fiber and omega-3 fatty acids."

Over at Dogmatika Tom Bradley discusses bizarro lit, the muse that drives him and his immune system with Mikael Covey. "The only demand I acknowledge is metabolic. I must breathe occasionally, eat whole grains with legumes, and write. Not necessarily in that order."
Michael Greenwell continues his "Unprofessional Interviews" series talking to Mickey Z. about politics in 'god's country'.
