Transubstantiate now has an offical blog and Facebook group

hurrah!

now then, about a reading copy...
*pester*

ha...still editing, won't have even the ARCs until April at the EARLIEST - sorry, with the release scheduled for June 18, 2010 - hang in there - feel free to pick up that Vampire anthology I'm in with many other culties which is out (Eternal Nights: A Vampire Anthology) or my story "Stillness" will be out in a Cemetery Dance anthology soon, called Shivers VI, haven't made an official announcement yet on that one.

you should throw down the gauntlet with WC Baer over at The Velvet - a race to ARCs!

ha...i'm sure WCB doesn't even know i exist - can't wait for Godspeed

he will once you beat him to the punch and force feed him a winning ARC!

ha...i don't even have his mailing address - and besides, the NEXT one, Disintegration, is much more like WCB - but thanks, appreciate the support

its not about being like anyone- it's about the BEEF.

drive both of you to new highs, and get some dorkish literary-world publicity. somewhat akin to an east-coast west-coast rap war. only with written words.

lol...that's a war i don't want to fight

WHY HAVEN'T YOU JOINED MY FACEBOOK GROUP YET? Don't you love me any more? Have I said something to offend you? Come on, I'll make cookies, chocolate chip, your favorite. I have lots of DVDs, we can do a marathon - what do you want, Sopranos? Six Feet Under? Dexter? I'll rub your back. I'll write that English paper. I have ice cream?!? And bourbon. Come on. Oh I hate you, you're so superior, stupid haircut, and you're fat. No wait, I was kidding. I didn't mean any of it.

I love you. There, I said it.

i joined!

Thanks Levi, spread the word, brother.

my finger is hovering over the join button, waiting for mention of a massage...

and by finger i mean finger, but by massage i mean shady codeworded transactions.

I never join those things, but i joined this.

LOL TI

Thanks Eddy, appreciate it.

lol...thanks franc

and i'm not fingering you, TI

ewww. gross.

i was trying to squeeze a bigger hunk of preview out of ya, massage my cerebrum. it's been too long since i've read a good noiry piece.

i was also trying to fool you into it, i joined the group ages ago

also, call me berto if you like, richard.

I liked that he was calling you TI. Made me picture you as a cuban rapper.

very fitting.

i am, after all, a cuban rapper!

hahahahahahah...sorry, berto - i don't have any new stuff to really share, just that vampire story "Transmogrify" and the collection is hit and miss - did you read the sample chapter for Disintegration up at my blog? that's not too bad - let me know if you need links (or see my sig)

sorry i missed you on the group thing, sometimes i forget people's real names, or i see them in a couple of different places - thanks for joining, the group is at about 183 last time i checked, so it's a bit large to take a peek and see who is in, my bad

thanks for your support though, means a lot

peace,
richard

ps-i also have all of my online stories at my blog too, free online

i know richard

i just have this thing about harassing our local writers, and i've really dug your previous work is all. that and, you know, bumping the thread.

thanks berto, means a lot

wow. i just read the Disintergration excerpt and WOW. hurry up and finish!

thanks matthew, i really appreciate that - i got stalled because of my MFA program and other things, like editing Transubstantiate - i like it a lot too, more direct, and more straight neo-noir

i'm about 35,000 words in, halfway i think - i hope to finish it this year

peace,
richard

I joined... due to you sending me a request. But give me a break - I'm relatively new to facebook! lol

It's okay, we'll be gentle with you. No worries. and THANKS!

sorry, mate. although i have a facebook account, i don't ever go on it. i should probably delete it. is ths gonna ruin my chances at getting a kiss-signed hardcopy?

no worries, i'll be doing a lot here - did you register at http://www.otherworldpublications.com, they'll put you on the newsletter - here's a code for everyone OWPMEM that will save $2 off any one book at OWP only - as long as you go on 4.1.10 you should be fine

the fourth of january!!! oh, no, wait. yep, backwards. first of april. so it's not going to be some kind of april fools joke, is it?

no, although i've often been called a fool

So, you PROMISE it won't be all 'here, have a hardcover with some kissig inscriptions. I mean NOT! April fools mutha-licka!

Nope, all forrealz. Only concern is shipping to AUS.

...

Interesting. Sooo, didn't plan on international fame, did we?

we will be in the UK, but AUS well...that will probably just be a bit more for shipping, but i'm sure we can do it - shouldn't be that much

beautiful. i'm looking forward to this read, and i want to support you, man, so i don't mind paying a bit extra for the shipping, as long as i don't have to saw off an arm for payment it should be peachy keen, charlie sheen.

sweet
