Is anyone here a librarian?

Post by JigokuBosatsu »

If you are, you should check this out. My art and flash fiction are in this book, along with a coupla folks you may have heard of like Alan Moore, Michael Moorcock, China Mievilla, Mike Mignola, John Coulthart...

Then in a week or so, even if you aren't a librarian you should check it out anyway:

I loved the last collection, and bought two copies - one to give away to a friend, one to keep - but sadly, I am not a librarian.

JigokuBosatsu: That's awesome. I'll push my library to acquire it.

I volunteer at a library while I wait for the magical day they get enough budget to hire new people. I'll mention this to them next Friday.

And in other news, with 4 days to go until released, it's already a modest bestseller on Amazon. I can see why- I just got my contributor's copies yesterday, and it's AWESOME. :)

If it's as awesome as the first lambshead book, then I'm not surprised by the bestseller list.

Out of curiosity: What kind of payment do you receive? Not financial figures but whether its royalty based, flat fee, etc...

Two contributor's copies. Which is fine... with so many people involved I wouldn't have expected more. To be in this antho with all those awesome people... and have it turn out so cool is really great exposure.
