Paramourtal is up for sale in Kindle format and many more at Smashwords, thanks to the ceaseless efforts of editor Kevin Hosey.

The Kindle version of Paramourtal is now up at Amazon, along with the trade paperback:

Paramourtal, a paranormal romance anthology featuring my story, “Sympathy From the Devil,” is now available from CreateSpace. The Amazon listing will be up sometime in the next couple of weeks.

It’s time for me to plunge into the guts of the website and resurrect the To Appear block, for my upcoming story “Sympathy from the Devil,” to appear in Paramourtal, a paranormal romance anthology coming out this summer from Cliffhanger Books. Check out their website for more details…

Via twitter: Razib at Gene Expression digresses from gene expression to the question of religion and fantasy. He manages to dig up more Jewish fantasy writers than Michael Weingrad did for his article in the Jewish Review of Books, Why There Is No Jewish Narnia:

Via @sfwa and SFScope: Pyr has announced they’re slushing unagented fantasy doorstops—uh, novels.

Pyr is only reading unagented submissions in “the subgenres of epic fantasy, sword & sorcery, and contemporary/urban fantasy.” Their needs for horror, science fiction, and slipstream are being met by agented submissions, so they’re not opening up those subgenres to the great, unagented masses.

The editors of Fantasy Magazine bring us more steampunk links, including eye candy, an overview of steampunk, a web comic, and a forthcoming novel from Pyr.
