Updates

 

We have a lot of things going on behind the scenes here at RLP right now, so here’s a quick mid-week roundup.

STUPEFYING STORIES #21 has reached end-of-contract-life and goes out of print on Monday, November 1. If you haven’t looked at this issue yet, this is your big—and last—chance. For the next five days we are giving away the Kindle edition FREE, for the cost of a click. But act now, because come next Monday, it’s gone forever.

C’mon, you can take a risk on a free ebook, can’t you?

Eric Dontigney has just turned in the first finished draft of his new space adventure, RINN’S RUN, and we’re looking for beta readers to give it a quick read and tell us what they think of it. What works, what doesn’t, what runs too long, what could afford to run longer; all that sort of high-level stuff. We’re not looking for fine-detail proofreading at this time. We have a pretty good core group of beta readers lined up already, but we’d like to add a few more, just in case anyone needs to drop out. If you have some time free in November, and wouldn’t mind getting some free books in the bargain…

THE LOST PLANET is now out in hardcover! I know everyone thinks their baby is the cutest one in the world, but this is our newest baby, and it’s a beaut! If you want to read the sci-fi action/adventure that reviewers have compared to the great YA (but adults love ‘em too!) novels of Andre Norton, Poul Anderson, Gordon Dickson, and of course, Robert Heinlein, check it out! And now that it’s out in hardcover, I have to add: 

MAKES A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

THE PETE WOOD CHALLENGE resumes next week. I don’t mind saying that the medical crisis of the past four months has been hellish and has thrown a whole toolbox full of monkey wrenches into our plans here, but in the meantime, Pete has been off in PeteSpace, busy putting together a full month’s worth of new flash fic, drabbles, short stories… And a podcast?

Stay tuned for more details! And while you’re waiting, if you’re wondering just what exactly The Pete Wood Challenge is, here’s a quick roundup of what we’ve done so far. Enjoy!

READ A LOT OF GREAT STORIES! ►

Cheers!
