It's pimpin' time

[threemonkeys]

Next week at the Phoenix club meeting we plan to look at the year ahead including the publications to look forward to. I'm doing this bit and am structuring it in an "Amazon says...", "Dymocks say" structure with stuff taken from web sites or local book sellers. But I thought I could have a "My flist says" page. So what do you think I should tell the local sf fans about. Give me some authors/titles etc. Don't be afraid to promote your own work or the work of friends. Don't assume I already know. Make the scope as wide as you like - books, zines, webzines, comics, plays, musicals and so on. Go on, don't be shy.

Thank you, that is most helpful although you will have to expand a bit on "the Nix/etc little booklet of Aussie forthcomings".

Russell K's new BFF is in the shops now. I intend to give it some solid pimping at the meeting.

Garth and a couple of other people put together a little booklet for one of the major international cons (WFC?) of stuff to watch out for. I can't find it at the place it was originally stored on the web, but I think this might be a cached version: http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:p-QzDfpjzlYJ:members.ozemail.com.au/~garthnix/WFCUpload3.pdf+&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=au

There are at least 3 on that list that are still forthcoming. Strange to read it and discover how many books were delayed for one reason or another. I would strongly recommend Kaaron Warren's The Glas Woman. It's The Grinding House, true, but with extra stuff and the extra stuff is *good*.

Cool that works and looks very useful indeed.
