    Reading Stories

    Not Doing Much Writing Yet… Typical slow start to my year. Only years I didn’t have a slow start were years I ramped up for two weeks in December. No idea why. Always seems logical at the time. But I am getting a lot of reading of Pulphouse stories done. I want to have them all done before this HEARTS COLLIDE Kickstarter finishes because I hope we hit a few stretch goals and I have more stories to read for Pulphouse. (see stretch goals in the campaign) And yes, I am finding some stories to buy from the reading. Here is how my enjoyment levels and frustration go with the…

    Still Working Out the Kinks…

    New Issue of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Published… With the wrong cover. Oops… In the holiday issue, #24, I really wanted to feature Annie Reed’s fantastic new holiday story. We do that feature by using big header on the cover. (see the correct cover below) But the first cover without that feature got put on instead and sent out. And even loaded up to our store. Now understand, we just went monthly and then a few weeks into that, I broke my shoulder and couldn’t be of much help. But the October, November, and now the December issue made it out. And January issue is on time. So going monthly is…

    Published Today!!! Great stories as normal and #23 features a brand new Spade Paladin Conundrum novelette by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. You can grab a copy on the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine store. The store also has all the back issues and also all the Pulphouse anthologies and some really cool merchandise.

Grab the new issue A good one, but I would say that because as editor I like them all.

    Pulphouse Has Returned Again…

    My Introduction to Issue 22 Issue #22 of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine is publishing today, right on time. It is now monthly. And wow does it feel great to have it back. Here is my introduction to this new issue, explaining some of what happened to make us have to take a break and then restart today. We’re Back! Again!! For the third, and final time, and this time to stay, Pulphouse Fiction Magazine returns. The first time we returned was after twenty-one years or so shut down. The first incarnation lasted from 1991 to 1996 and produced 20 issues plus an issue zero. The first incarnation was owned by Pulphouse…

    Having Too Much Fun…

    I Had No Idea How Cool Products Can Be… Today, I got a Pulphouse Fiction Magazine mug in the mail. It is even better than I had hoped. You can get one and a subscription on the Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Kickstarter 2023 Subscription Drive. Or you can just add on one to a workshop or something. And after the Kickstarter is over we are planning a Pulphouse Shopify Store Grand Opening Sale. Stay tuned for details on that. It will have even more merchandise. But at the same time we got the mug, WMG Publishing sent me a wonderful picture of Stephanie Writt, who is working full time for us…

    Reminder!!

    We Are Doing a Kickstarter!! I just wanted to remind everyone that we launched a Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2023 Kickstarter last week. We are well on our way to the third stretch goal! It’s on the third stretch goal that we open up Pulphouse Fiction Magazine to submissions for only the backers who help us on this subscription drive. That will be fun for me, the editor, to be honest. And I wanted to remind you that the magazine is going monthly now as well. I know that seems a big jump from six issues a year. And since the last subscription campaign, we only got out three…
