Aliens - The Truth is Out There

[Stephen Palmer]

Echoing everything said by everybody here.

Lucky I have a stache of short stories...

 

[The Judge]

A great cover! Good luck with it.

 

[ralphkern]

Great cover. Once I send Houston across (and hopefully accepted), ill set to work on this one.

Sigh your getting in the way of my magnum opera with all these story requests though

 

[Mr Orange]

Great idea for an anthology Gary and great cover.

Another anthology to distract me from the other anthology which is distracting me from the other anthology which is distracting me from... hmmm... something....

What was I talking about?

 

[Gary Compton]

Thank you for the great response, as always, it's very humbling!

I think you can see from the covers that we mean business. Malevolence is shaping up nicely, I have had several submissions for SPACE already, and can't wait for stories for this one.

Remember, we need a good story, interesting characters, with tension, drama and building up to a great finish. A twist is always good as well!

Happy writing!

Best of luck with it, Gary.

Just like to announce the third anthology from Tickety Boo Press Ltd

The theme this time is Aliens.

Artwork has been done by SJ Swainger - aka - Leisha here on Chrons.

I think you'll agree it is an amazing cover. Editor will be the legendary Jeff Scott Marryat (Boneman)

Submission Guidelines

That is awesome Gary! And a third part of a trilogy too. That is so cool. I love the theme!

Great cover ! Boneman editor, wow!

If I didn't live so far away, I'd love to be a part of your anthology (I always wanted to do something like that myself, plus include my own artwork).

Congratulations on the other two books! God bless you on your project.

Starbeast, other writers from around the globe are writing for various iterations of Gary's anthos - there's no reason you can't, just because you live abroad.

 

[Gary Compton]

Thanks, Leisha.

Yes Starbeast, I have had a few American submissions already so get your pen ready. Payments will be made by cheque in the UK and Paypal in the US, unless aternative agreements are made.

Good luck!

PS: It's 3 separate anthologies with their own theme, not a trilogy

 

[ralphkern]

Still polishing my last one, so to speak, but looking forwards to getting stuck into the next submission.

Just a quick one, i've had a look and can't find a deadline for this anthology?

 

[Gary Compton]

From what I have seen in critiques - it's looking good.

Prob March for deadline but I will prob tweak that a little later.

 

[ralphkern]

Why thankyou Mr Compton. It's just a pity i'm not spookily minded or i'd try out three for three.

Don't limit yourself, Ralph!

How about Alien ghosts who outgrew the need for a body and became spiritual entities. Just need malevolence or beyond the veil - preferably both.

 

[ralphkern]

and have a serious problem with Houston?

hmmm that would be the height of efficiency! one story three anthologies... although your readers might feel done over

Haha!

Yes that would be efficient but then I would probably have to kill you for making Jeff edit it 3 times

 

[ralphkern]

Yeah as much as we all suffer for our art... i'm not so up for the killing me part :/

 

[ACFantasy]

I might be able to get something together. What is payment for this anthology?

 

[ratsy]

Gary, do you have a lot of submissions on this one already?

 

[Gary Compton]

Yes it has been steady. More of Facebook than here but I know there are several Chronners sharpening their pencils.

With Malevolence it was/is open for 4 months so it quickly fills up.

 

[thaddeus6th]

Hoping to send something in later this month. E-mail to the same address as Malevolence, right?
