Since it’s likely that any posts in the near future will revolve around Heathen City and promotion thereof in anticipation of the (hopefully) very near-future release, here’s something unrelated, that I’ve been wanting to put down for a while, and recently found an opportunity to when a friend contacted me for my perspectives on marriage […]
Knotcast Presents: X (I’m on a podcast, yo!)
by Alex F. Vance on 24. May, 2009 in Blog, Writing
Couple weeks ago a bunch of the authors who worked on Sofawolf’s upcoming anthology X (www.kyellgold.com/x) recorded a roundtable podcast to promote the book and to generally have a good time. And now it’s been released on Knotcast!
Since then, Fuzzwolf has spent considerable time and effort engineering together the various sources, recorded across […]

X: “I am the Lord thy God”

Sometimes you hear about a project that’s just so damn juicy, so damn succulent, that it’sutterly irresistible. You find yourself watering at the mouth for it even before it starts. That’s how I felt when Kyell Gold from Sofawolf Press approached me about contributing a story to a little project he was cooking up, named […]

Nominated for Ursa Major Awards! Fuck yeah!
by Alex F. Vance on 16. Mar, 2009 in Blog, Heathen City
Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m surprisingly proud to announce that Heathen City has been nominated for the Ursa Major Awards, in the category Best Comic Book. While the Ursa Majors aren’t in the same league as the Huga or Nebula in sci-fi or the Eisners and Angoulêmes for comics — it’s still pretty fucking cool.
Not […]
Merry Fucking Christmas!

Happy Holidays is the more politically correct way to well-wish your fellows, I’m sure, but seriously, fuck that.
Two out of three Abrahamic faiths acknowledge this season, and two out of three ain’t bad. Merry Christmas, and happy Hannukkah. And there’s Pancha Ganapati for the Hindus, which, really, is pretty close. Buddhists got nothing special […]

Even though I no longer participate in the National Novel Writing Month, I still luvs it to bits. Tonight, at the gong of midnight, gaggles of writers across the globe will pour themselves a fresh cuppa and get down to the business of writing 50 000 words over the course of November.
There’s a few folks […]
NO on 8: We interrupt your porn for a public service announcement.">NO on 8: We interrupt your porn for a public service announcement.

Proposition 8 is a proposal to eliminate gay marriage in the state of California. Same-sex couples can already legally get married in that state, but if Prop 8 is accepted, the constitution will be amended to define ‘marriage’ as a union between a man and a woman.
The No on 8 movement is a group opposed to […]
Can’t stop the signal
by Alex F. Vance on 19. Jun, 2008 in Heathen City
So, you know how international distribution is this complex process of haggling and negotiation?
Apparently not when you’re swinging a big juicy book like Heathen City around. I contacted United Publications in the UK to ask whether they’d be interested in distributing Heathen City on their isles, and what I expected to be a long-drawn-out period […]
