Many of you are aware that <em>Pantheon&#8217;s<\/em> publisher, Musa, went out of business some months ago. It was a bummer, but in the process all rights to my book (as well as all the editing work that Musa staff put into it) reverted back to me. <em>Pantheon\u00a0<\/em>was removed from online retailers, and I was left with several boxes of Musa-branded paperbacks to sell at conventions and signings.<\/p>\n<p>Between job-hunting and life in general, I&#8217;ve been trying to decide on the most prudent course of action to take with my book. Upon careful consideration, I&#8217;ve decided to self-publish under my own, newly formed imprint,\u00a0<strong>Serpent And Dove Speculative Fiction<\/strong>. The name comes from Jesus&#8217; words in \u00a0Matthew 10:16, in which He instructs his followers to be &#8220;&#8230;as wise as serpents and harmless as doves&#8221; (KJV). It&#8217;s as good a description for what I want my writing (and my life) to be about as any I can come up with. My upcoming horror anthology,\u00a0<em>Silent Screams<\/em> will also be released under this imprint. (By the way, writers, if you haven&#8217;t checked out my guidelines for\u00a0<em>Silent Screams<\/em>, please do so and consider sending something in. It&#8217;s going to be a great book.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have a cool logo to show off in the near future, and will over the next couple of weeks work on re-releasing Pantheon under the new label. Thanks to all my friends for your continued support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing and publishing are an adventure, and, like any journey, full of bumps, potholes, and \u00a0unexpected twists along the way.
