Veering uncomfortably close to the realm of self-promotion, I present to you the Spring, 2012 edition of The Red Penny Papers. RPP is the place to go for amazing speculative fiction, presented for your convenience in HTML and e-book formats.
True, I’m a little invested. The cover story, “The Black Hole,” is mine. You’ll enjoy it if you like sepia-hued, steampunk-flavored adventure, wherein the finest minds of Victoria’s empire must fight to stop a magic spell from devouring the world. And all my thanks (and awe) to artist S.A. van Muijden for translating my scribbles into the breathtaking cover art seen above.
But as I say to the mirror each morning, It’s Not All About Me. This issue, like every RPP, is chock full of damned good reading; you’ll do yourself a solid by reading it all. Also, read anything/everything you can get your hands on by the incomparable K.V. Taylor, RPP editor and chief manuscript massuese.
Thanks again to K.V., S.A. (omg!) and all RPP writers, wranglers and staff. And thank you, dear reader, for not only putting up with my gushing but also for clicking all those links so you can see exactly what I’m gushing about.
