Orion’s Child Magazine

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

(May-June 1984, signed first issue of Orion’s Child Magazine)

Orion’s Child Magazine holds a special place in my writing career.  My first short story, ‘Gnomus’ was published in August 2008 and later came ‘The Ringmaster’ in October 2009.  Since ‘Gnomus’ was first published, Gabriel Cole, editor at OC, and I have become good friends.  In fact, he was gracious enough to send me the above magazine yesterday to add to my collection.  It looks awesome and I can’t wait to launch into it.

If you’ve never checked out OC, take a gander at my stories above and then head over and read the February Issue.

In Gord We Trust

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

I am constantly amazed by the number of people who still haven’t read Gord Rollo’s body of work.  My first encounter, as many people, was his Leisure release in 2008 of The Jigsaw Man.  I actually wrote a book review for Withersin Magazine back in April of this year on that very same book.  I was then able to meet and hang out with him for the first time at Context 22 earlier this year, as well.

Not only is his work bloody exciting and well written, but he’s a hell of a nice guy to boot.  Since Context we’ve become friends and when he told me he was knee-deep writing his next Leisure release, I not only became excited to eventually read something new by him, but also knew that more people need to start reading his previous work now to get excited with the next book that’s coming out soon.

You can check out Gord’s site here.  Believe me, you’ll have a bloody good time!

As you are probably aware, I met quite a few authors at Hypericon 5.  Besides getting to spend quite a bit of time hanging out with Brian Keene, I got to meet the following authors:  Maurice Broaddus, PS Gifford and Steven (Shrews) Shrewsbury.  I got to meet several others, as well, but these were the ones I spent the most time with.  All these guys were kind as can be and a joy to be around.

Their websites have also been added to Links on the right hand side of the page.

I highly suggest checking out their sites and work.
