Open Doors at Independence Brewing

And last but not least, INDEPENDENCE BREWING CO. holds open doors at their brewery every first Saturday of the month. Thank you Amy & Rob.

Visit Independence Brewing for more information:

I will not be there in September because I’m having a birthday, and I will be messing around in the Llano river at my friends’ place drinking lots of beer–you guessed which one–and trying to catch some catfish for a big catfish fry on Sunday!

However, NBP will be there for the first weekend of October. Hope you will too.

Looking For Science Fiction Novel

For 2009, I am looking for a Science Fiction Novel. Please, don’t find yourself limited by this classification. I consider William S. Burroughs to be SF much of the time, and you’ll find his work in General Fiction. I’m looking for a stand-alone novel. Nothing that ends in a cliffhanger. The style and genre are up to the author. However, just so you know, I enjoy fast-paced stories. Punk, post-punk, highly speculative, funny, sarcastic, satirical, Armageddon is coming type of prophesizing stuff that invents the future before we get there, and where all hell is breaking lose. Sex is cool. Harlequin romance is not. Great ideas & idealism or the lack thereof are great. Tales banging me over the head with so called morality are not.

DO NOT SEND ME A MANUSCRIPT without first contacting me via a query letter. I prefer to work with local authors, because I like the face to face sit down several times a month, however biased I am, if you rock the world, then I am open to listen to you wherever you are.

Please SNAIL MAIL me the query letter. Thanks!

Robin Blackburn Coming To NBP

Robin Blackburn! You all know her as the editor of Maxine’s NEUROTICA, as an award winning journalist, among so many other accomplishments!! And now, to top it all, she is joining NBP as its third author. Her collection of poetry, so far untitled, will be our next book, and we are looking at a release party either at the end of 2008, or the beginning of 2009.

We’re so freaking excited! Robin has been an important member of the Central Texas poetry scene for more than 10 years. She kicks ass!

Go say hello to Robin here.

Matter fact, we have several writers currently working on potential publications for 2009 and 2010. Which means that we need money to grow. We are going forward fast, and we need investors. Please contact me for more information.
