Shorts - Markets - And Some Artwork

I have a little bit of everything for you today. It's rather nice to have a mixture of links once in a while. You never know what will catch someone's eye.

Over at the Blackgate site there is a double interview with James Enge and Howard Andrew Jones where they discuss their serial characters which were created through short stories and how they moved on to writing these characters into novel form. http://www.blackgate.com/2010/10/04/writing-serial-characters-and-the-book-deal/

I found this link at Charles Tan's blog. I knew Frank Frazetta as the artist of the Conan paintings, so I was rather suprised to find these wonderful black and white drawings that could have graced the covers of those fifties paperbacks. I'm sure you gentlemen will especially enjoy these http://goldenagecomicbookstories.blogspot.com/2010/09/frank-frazetta-midwood-illustrations.html

A new issue of The Gumshoe Review is up http://www.gumshoereview.com Don't forget that this market also posts shorts stories up to 1000 words with a pro payment of 5cents a word. They're also looking for non-fiction articles at the same pay and they could use a few more reviewers.

Raven Electrick has posted a call for a new Halloween anthology with a spec fiction slant. They will open for submissions on October 11, not before. They're looking for flash, poetry, and shorts to 2500 words and reprints to 3500 words. Pay for new work is 3cents a word, reprints 1cent a word and poetry a flat rate of $5. A deadline will be set when they're nearly filled. You can find all the details at http://ravenelectrick.com/Jackospec.html
