I would like to thank all my readers and writers during this
turbulent time in my life. As life must
go on, so must Martinus Publishing, and I am pleased to announce that the
manuscript has been compiled for Yarr! A Space Pirate Anthology, and editing
has now commenced. I can now place the
set-in-stone release date for this anthology to be June 1, 2015 ! When
we get closer to that release date, pre-orders will commence, so keep your eyes
open for that.
The Table of Contents has now been finalized, and here for
the first time is your glimpse at the compilation's stories:

Lombardi
This would have been an 18 story anthology, but sadly 1
author got cold feet (repeatedly) and begged to be let loose from his signed
agreement. I will not give him the
dignity of repeating his name in public, for risk that it might give him any
publicity. Needless to say, the
offending writer doesn't deserve to be featured in a Martinus Publishing
anthology, and never will.
On another note, there are still a few stories I need to
approve for The Temporal Element II, We Were Heroes, and Altered Europa. If you have a story submitted and haven't
heard from me yet, do not fear. I'll get
to it by the end of the month. This is a
turbulent time for me, so please bear with me.
