As it’s relevant to what I’m doing, I thought I’d share the latest
release of my publisher’s enewsletter here:
Dear Fantastic Subscriber,
This week we have been recovering from the high octane weekend that saw
the first ever FantastiCon launched
into the stratosphere. It was a cracking success and to say thanks to everyone who made it happen would mean filling your
inbox so instead we'll simply say a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone
involved. Plans are already afoot for FantastiCon 2015 and we'd love your
input so please get in touch with your ideas by emailing; fantasticbookspublishing@gmail.com.
One of the ideas we have already locked in for next year is a cosplay competition that will net winners CASH PRIZES!
Now, it's the moment lots of you have been waiting for since we published the longlist for our short SF competition earlier this month. The final shortlist entries for the first pure science fiction Fantastic short story anthology are;
The Everything Equation by John Goh
Regen by Colin Ford
Nobel Savage by Thomas Pitts
Alice by David Styles
All in the Mind by John Hoggard
Two Reviews by Thomas Pitts
Striker Amok by Pierre Le Gue
Eternal by Shaun Gibson
Fastbreeder by Pierre Le Gue
Hope by David Styles
Indirect Harm by John Harper
Lisa Lives by Anthony M Olver
Manikin by Nici Lilley
Night Monsters by Pierre Le Gue
Private Show by David K Paterson
Starburst by Andrew Wright
The Moon a Balloon by Rose Thurlbeck
The Package by Aaron Miles
The House by John Hoggard
Three Second War by Darren Grey
If we start killing by Ulla Susimetsä

Congratulations everyone!
The judges have been wrestling with the longlist and, for the first time ever for one of our competitions, they have been unable to remove a single story from the longlist!
We will shortly start the process of editorial tennis with the authors and we hope to have the anthology released in ebook format by mid October this year.
Our next projects are building up steam and comprise a wonderful collection of poetry, prose and short stories by Boris Glikman, the third and final novel in Stuart Aken's 'A Seared Sky' series (the second book 'Partings' was officially launched as an ebook at FantastiCon and will be released very soon as a print paperback) and a debut fantasy trilogy titled 'Travels with the Red Friar' by Marty McMullen. More news of these projects will be incoming shortly.
In other news, now that our Elite: Dangerous books are all produced and out in the world, we will be starting the mammoth task of fulfilling everybody's Kickstarter pledge gifts including the production of special boxes for the books and the printing of silk screen printed faction flags for the special editions. These will be created over the coming weeks and everyone should have everything they pledged for well in time for the December holidays.
And finally, a huge thank you to all our friends and new followers who have signed up to this newsletter, followed us on Facebook and followed our Twitter feed, you are all Fantastic!
Just imagine,
