Spirit of Christmas Future

On Christmas Eve in a scant two weeks times, I will be drawing two names from the list of Pendragon subscribers. These two lucky lucky so and so's will receive not one, not two… but every Pendragon title published next year, which equates to at least four books: gratis.
The schedule at the moment looks like this:
The long-awaited release of Gary Greenwood's Kingston to Cable, which Mr Greenwood has been waiting for as long as Hadrian to see; popCult! by David Barnett, a novel due at Eastercon; Volume One of Visions Fading Fast, the second anthology edited by Gary McMahon and features stories from Reggie Oliver, Kaaron Warren, Paul Meloy, Joel Lane and Nathan Bellingrud (Volume Two will appear later in the year); To Usher the Dead, a collection of Thomas Usher tales from that man McMahon; and, Fade-Out by Gavin Salisbury.
In addition, I will continue to slot in a number of chapbooks… so, if you want to be in a with a chance then sign up to the mailing list and wait for that e-mail over the Christmas period!
In other news, I've signed up to attend Eastercon next year along with World Horror in Austin (of which there will be a significant development…) and FantasyCon of course – but that goes without saying.
2010 it must be said has been a pretty rough year, but then just about everyone has suffered so it's not just me; in all honesty, I came very close to shutting up shop a month or so ago, but managed to secure some funding to at least help Pendragon hobble along. It also helped that dealers and customers have remained loyal which proves one that: there are readers out there, and they at least want to read the books which emerge from the Pendragon roster.
2010 also marks the tenth anniversary of being involved in the small press, though not continuously. I was hoping to at least be part-time by now, but then I have always been rather naive and rather dysfunctional when it comes to business and financial matters. I think what mostly matters is that Pendragon at least survives, just to put out great pieces of fiction to a growing number of customers. No-one is going to get rich, or employed for that matter in writing in the small press, but if what the books do make cover their expenses and royalty payments well I cannot really complain; I'll continue to chain myself to this 'ere 'puter during the day and work the night-shift.
2011 and 2012? Who knows… apart from a bloody good list of authors and stories of course.
Have fun over the festive period, and remember to keep an eye out in your inbox… it could be you, and you too.

Silversands and Feral Companions have landed!

With myself, and in Bristol with Silversands. :)
Can't believe I'm going to Brighton tomorrow… if neither myself nor Steve Upham turn up at the hotel by midnight, then we're either lost or sucked into a time-portal on the M25.
Anyone wishing to give me odds on the latter?

After due consideration and democratic consensus, the untitled double-novella collection is now called (drum roll):
Feral Companions
Also, it will appear in two states: limited hardcover and paperback. Prices, print run and pre-ordering details soon…
In other news: Triquorum will be changing… again; apologies to all authors past, present and future. Details soon.

2010: The Publishing Schedule (or The Year of the Gary)
Posted by Chris on July 8, 2009 at 20:21
Posted in: Book News
It will take a couple of weeks for the individual book pages to be produced, but for now the Return of Pendragon Press will be heralded by the following titles:
March (World Horror Brighton)
"MaginnFry" – Untitled Double-Novella Collection by Simon Maginn and Gary Fry
(illustrated by Simon Strantzas)
Easter (EasterCon)
Silversands by Gareth Powell
(illustrated by Vincent Chong)
Late Summer (FantasyCon)
To Usher the Dead by Gary McMahon
(illustrator to be confirmed)
Kingston to Cable by Gary Greenwood
(illustrated by Darius Hinks)
End of Year (Christmas BFS Open Night)
popCult! by David Barnett
(illustrated by Darius Hinks)
Depending on funds and timing, there could be another novella squeezed into the schedule but there will be at least two issues of Triquorum, so plenty of good reading material to experience.
