And the Links Just Keep Coming

I've been finding myself spending a lot of time over at Book Spot Central because there's so much good stuff available there. Besides talking about books, they post about TV, movies, comic books, mystery, sci-fi, and fantasy. It's just an unbelievable site, no matter what your tastes are. And here's a sample of what they're serving up today.

Doc Savage fans will love this post with pictures of Doc from the DC comics and links to everything Doc Savage. http://www.bookspotcentral.com/2009/05/dc-getting-pulpy-with-doc-savage/

For lovers of sci-fi/fantasy there's free fiction today. There's a link in this post to a free copy of the e-book, "The Stealer of Souls" by Michael Moorcock. http://www.bookspotcentral.com/2009/05/free-fiction-moorcocks-elric-the-stealer-of-souls/

And another Conversations with the Bookless featuring Andy Henion. http://www.bookspotcentral.com/2009/05/conversations-with-the-bookless-andy-henion/

Courtesy of BV Lawson, a link she posted to the SMFS list about making May short story month. I'll go along with that one! http://www.pw.org/content/making_the_case_for_national_short_story_month

From that link I found this one which goes to a blog called The Story Prize with contains information about short story anthologies, awards, issues, and writing tips. http://thestoryprize.blogspot.com/
and this informative site called Emerging Writers Network http://emergingwriters.typepad.com/emerging_writers_network/

And of course, from there my fingers clicked their way to Five Star Literary Stories. Now this is where you ezine editors need to sit up and take notice. Editors are asked to submit a story from their zine along with a plug for the zine, the story is passed off to a reviewer who reviews the story and gets some attention for their review work. This is a win-win situation for everyone and a big Snoopy Dance goes out to TJ Forrester who put the whole thing together about a year ago. I wish I'd found it sooner. And for you writer folks there's links to all the zines that have submitted stories for review. http://fivestarliterarystories.blogspot.com/

So, what are you waiting for? Point and click!

Thank you for these links, Sandra. I've been overwhelmed of late at the day job and am just getting caught up with my favourite blogs.
