Contrary to what I had promised last Friday, I will not be posting notes on "The Elephant Crusade" this week. I have steadily working on issue 12 of If - E - Zine: The Free Online Magazine of Thrilling Speculative Fiction! This August If - E - Zine celebrates its fifth birthday. It amazes me I've been working on the ezine for five full years. If you like science fiction, speculative fiction, slipstream fiction, horror, sword & sorcery and all that good, nerdy stuff, you'll probably like If - E - Zine.
So this week, in lieu of notes about "The Elephant Crusade", I instead present to you a video celebrating the first five years of If - E - Zine and some new pictures of Iffy the Ifreet, the new mascot for If - E - Zine.
Fear not dear reader! I will return next with with an all new story continuing the saga where "The Elephant Crusade" left off! Check back next week for Act 1 of "Song of Momoki"!
I was going to post the story "The Ruby Bug" today, but with publishing Issue 11 of If - E - Zine(tm) on my website on Wednesday, I found myself a bit short both on time and energy to complete today's scheduled post. In lieu of "The Ruby Bug", I've decided to post a teaser photo of an up-coming mascot for the ezine.
Coming Friday, June 13th!
This is inspired by the classic cover art from Sticky Fingers, perhaps the greatest album put out by the legendary Rolling Stones rock group. The original cover was conceived by none other than Andy Warhol.
Since I'm currently blogging the latest novel in the The Children of Gods fantasy wuxia (martial arts) series, I thought people might want access to some of the music I'm listening to as I write it and blog it.
Enjoy Wuxia Radio!
Welcome to Atomic Swan Serials. Herein I write tales and occasional rants. Currently I author If - E - Zine™: The Free Online Magazine of Thrilling Speculative Fiction!, a webzine throwback to the days of pulp science fiction. A new post will be made every Friday with the occasional bonus post in between. If no serials are currently under way something will still be posted every Friday including videos or music or thoughts of the moment in relation to science fiction, horror, monsters or speculative fiction.
