Authortunities #34 Nov. 11—Dec. 9
❗ INUJINI cover reveal ❗ ➕ HWA Poetry Showcase X ➕ FREE Space and Time #10 from March 1971 〓 over 100 author opportunities for you!
Grab a big cup of coffee because this is a long one but there is a lot to cover including a cover reveal for my first novel INUJINI, a link to the “Brides of Bram (Stoker)” event and the HWA Poetry Showcase X details! There are also updates on some of our Space and Time alumni plus the usual free issue of Space and Time along with 100+ author opportunities for you to win at life with.
But first… the INUJINI cover reveal as promised. Cover art and design by Kyra Starr.
INUJINI dives into the heart of the WWII Battle of Okinawa through the eyes of three brave young girls, Shigeko, Kaori, and Yuki. Each girl confronts the harsh realities of war, yet finds strength and resilience with the help of their traditional guardian spirits, the shiisaas. It's a tale that balances the struggles of war with the power of friendship, cultural identity, and inner strength. A journey through resilience and hope, highlighting the rich culture of the Shimanchu people of Okinawa, readers will find a compelling read that resonates with anyone seeking inspiration and courage in challenging times.
There’s more details on my blog for anyone interested, as well as a sign up list for ARCs. This is the book I wrote following the Bram Stoker Awarded Tortured Willows. It is probably the most important thing I’ve ever published.
Sign up for an advanced reader copy and read a more detailed description of the book here!
Poll results! Last week’s question was all about writing contests that charge fees.
I personally don’t have a problem with contests that charge a moderate entry fee. I always assume that’s where their prize money is coming from, or it’s a fundraiser like the SFPA’s annual contest but 70% of you disagree. It would be interesting to hear from contest organizers from both sides to hear their take on it.
Thank you to everyone who weighed in. New poll! This week I’m thinking about cultural appreciation versus appropriation.
What do you think? I’ll share the results next week.
I was privileged to celebrate Bram Stoker’s birthday on November 7th with LindaAnn LoSchiavo and Linda D. Addison for the “Brides of Bram (Stoker)” poetry reading. The three of us came together to honor our horror godfather and toast LindaAnn’s latest poetry collection: Vampire Ventures. Reading dark poetry with friends was a perfect evening. Don’t worry if you missed it. You can watch the entire event here.
Also in celebration of Bram Stoker's birthday on November 7th the HWA POETRY SHOWCASE X is officially published. Thank you to our Horror Writers Association membership, everyone who submitted and this year’s judges Colleen Anderson, Timothy P. Flynn, Katherine Quevedo and Eugen Bacon. Maxwell I.

Space and Time Alumni
🚀From Paige E. Ewing: I've been reading your Authortunities newsletter for ages, and have a story coming out in January in Learning to Be Human anthology that I think I saw the call for submissions here. I published a story, “Flyboy,” in Space and Time #119, and I have a link to it on my site: https://paigeewing.com/free-stories/
These days, I'm writing a futuristic fantasy series, Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville. The first book, Precise Oaths came out in July and book 2, Explosive Chemistry, comes out Nov 21 officially, but the e-book version is up for pre-order on Amazon and Goodreads.
🚀From Lauren McBride: I have had one poem published in Space and Time (so far): “More Than a Feeling,” March 2020, a nonet later nominated for the Dwarf Stars.
Most recently I have had my first chapbook published. In it I showcase over 30 poetic forms with an appendix on how to write each one. Its target audience is young adults (9 -99) who are interested in reading and writing speculative poetry. A good place to start, the sci(na)ku. At only six words, it's sure to interest even the youngest readers. Aliens, Magic, and Monsters, Hiraeth Publishing, September 2023, available at Hiraeth, Amazon and elsewhere.
Thank you for the shoutout, and for keeping me on your very useful Authortuities mailing list.
🚀From Anthony Bernstein: I have a poem in S&T #194 back in '08, it's titled "Faith In... ". A rewrite of that poem also appears in the past July HWA newsletter in an article I wrote, but I retitled it "Hit and Run Veteran."
