Summer Reading and Cons
It is summer here in Massachusetts where Swords & Sorcery Magazine is based. The nights are short and days are warm. It’s a very good time to sit under a tree and read, especially if it’s a story that makes you shiver.
“Then Will Die Your Pain”, by Tom Crowley, is the tale of a tired mercenary and the trouble that comes from trying to forget painful memories. Crowley is new to Swords & Sorcery. This is his first published story.
“Every Midnight”, by Sandra Unerman, tells the tale of a student mage who tackles a problem that has defeated masters. Unerman’s work has appeared in Aurora Wolf and previously in Swords & Sorcery. She has a novel due out later this year.
As always I can be reached with questions or comments at editor@swordsandsorcerymagazine.com. Public comments can be made on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/SwordsAndSorceryMagazine). Swords & Sorcery also has a twitter feed, @SwordsNSorcery, where we post links to stories when they are posted. Submissions are always welcome but please see the guidelines before submitting. I’m looking for genre related reviews and critical essays as well as short fiction. I may consider occasional publication of longer fiction, as well. Please query before submitting anything not within the guidelines.
If anyone is interested in meeting me in person, I’ll be at Readercon, in Quincy Massachusetts this July 13th to 16th. I haven’t preregistered so I may only be at the con itself on Thursday evening, but I live locally so I would be happy to meet for coffee or a beer. I will also be at Gen Con, in Indianapolis, Indiana from the August 17th to the 20th. I’ll be there mostly because I’ve been an avid RPGer for decades but I’ll be found at least part of the time at the concurrent writers’ conference. I’d love to meet some of the people I have published face to face.
Until next month…
