Paper & Ink: Best of the First Ten Years...

Considering the top drawer work found in issue after issue of the small press gem, I’m sure narrowing down this best of the first decade issue was tough rowing, so I am really pleased to have a piece make the cut. To my eye, Scumbag Press and DrunkSkull Books share quite a bit in terms of intention, only they’re far more active and consistent that the monkeys running my ship! I’m always jazzed to hustle a piece their way, and to share the pages with one of the best stables of writers around.

And rumor has it you can order a T-SHIRT to go with yours, so long are you get it in during the pre-sale, so why not let everyone out there know that you support the folks out here doing their thang, making stuff, and keeping those artistic fires burning!

Seems there’s been a little trouble finding the SMOL FAIR freebies. That’s a crying shame! We love what they’re doing with the SMOL FAIR, and want everyone else to love it too — so I’m re-link to the freebies here:

The Eagle has landed! Starting today, DrunkSkull Books is proud to take part, once again, in the SMOL FAIR — a truly independent, free-to-all book fair that puts small presses on display for all to discover. The are so many places, reading, and events to check out, that you probably can’t see them all — but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying all you can!

To celebrate, here at the HQ we’re doing a couple things:

1) As you may have seen from that annoying pop-up (I know, I know, but hear me out!) we’re giving away free digital stuff. And it ain’t nothing to slouch at either! You can get a free copy of the CICADA ebook (over at Smashwords) or you can get a free download code for the A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO (at Author’s Direct). That’s just for stopping by (while the digital supplies last)!

2) We’re offering a sale here at our own store. Just enter the code 20SMOL$AVINGS at checkout to receive 20% off your order. So it’s a great time to Cath up on any titles you might be missing (some of which are very near selling out).

3) Lastly, we’re hosting a DRUNK POEM ANIMATION WATCH PARTY to wrap up the SMOL festivities, on (DATE!). We’ll look at our most recent animation from start to finish (that’s storyboards to finished claymation), talk a bit about the DrunkSkull Philosophy of making stuff in the hopes that others might be inspired too, and close with as many animations as we can squeeze in between chats and questions. It should be a quick half-hour, and we’d love to see you there if your schedule allows.
