    Some Copyright Value…

    Neil and Terry Hit It Again… Back in the late 1980s, Neil Gaiman was working on Sandman and Terry Pratchett was doing Discworld books and for some reason they decided to collaborate on a horror comedy novel called Good Omens. It was first published in 1990 in Great Britain and did really well. Both writers did their own things, many things, along the way after that and then Terry tragically died way too early in 2015. The book is co-owned by Neil and Terry’s estate. And then Amazon decided to green light Good Omens in 2019 and Neil went to work on the show writing it. This last week, through…

    Katy Perry

    Kris and I Went to Her Show Tonight… Katy Perry has had a residency at the Resorts World Hotel and Casino here in Vegas for the last two years.  It is called “Play.” And it is a whacked out version of Toy Story combined with Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse, twisted a couple dozen more times and then put on steroids. For the entire first two acts I sat with my mouth open in shock and awe at the writing and the over-the-top everything. And the background animation and the between-acts animated transitions were just stunning and clear. Sometimes the animation in the back screens I could not tell if it…

    Last 36 Hours of the Kickstarter

    And Yes, We Hit Two More Stretch Goals!!!   You can see all the details at Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2023 Kickstarter. So we have hit the third and fourth regular stretch goals and two special ones, so that means we open up Pulphouse Fiction Magazine to submissions for only the backers who help us on this subscription drive. That will be fun for me, the editor, to be honest. The magazine will never be open for general submissions. Not ever. I am too old for reading slush piles and now my eyes are too bad. But I will love reading stories from backers who believe in the magazine.…

    A Reminder About the August Regular Workshops…

    There Are Now 9 Regular Workshops… I wanted to repeat this post from a week ago for two reasons. I wanted to make sure everyone saw the regular workshops. And secondly, it is almost 3am and I am too tired to write something new. So here is the post about the regular workshops again. Very, very few are signed up for any of them. —– Not only are we keeping the normal regular workshops, but because of the new world going on with Indie Publishing, we are bringing back THE MAGIC BAKERY six week workshop. Critical to understanding how this new world and copyright is working for indie writers. We…
