Sci-fi on the Rock

Hey All,

I'm still recovering from Sci-Fi on the Rock, this past weekend in St.Johns, Newfoundland. We signed some books and made lots of new friends, and overall had a grand time!

Also present at the convention was good friends, and Engen-Books founder Matthew LeDrew, aswell Iceberg Partner/Author Kenneth Tam. Also present was fellow authors William Meikle (Watchers Trilogy) and Louise Bohmer (The Black Act), and actors Vaugh Armstrong (Star Trek Enterprise), Peter Mayhew (Star Wars Episodes 3,4,5,6) and Christian Simpson (Star Wars Episode 1) .

We should be doing another public event soon, but more details will be annouced on that very, very soon.

Brand new look

Now that we've opened submissions to all of Canada, a complete redesign of the site was certainly in order. We've updated the look to match our new orange and blue nebula logo.

There's been a few other changes as well! With the success of our first edition, our expansion hasn't just been geographic. We're now been able to increase our payment to authors! Check out the submission guidelines for more information.

So spread the word! The deadline for submissions for the next edition is July 6th.

#1 out, #2 in progress!

Hey All,

A little NewFoundSpecFic update. We've officially launched the first book this past Saturday at MUN which was a huge success. Including 10 stories by local authors such as Matthew LeDrew, Ellen Curtis, Joshua Quinlan, Devin Drover, Jennifer Graham and Ryan Marsh, the first edition of NewFoundSpecFic has been selling like crazy. For those that still hasn't picked up the book, just head to the site http://www.newfoundspecfic.com and pick one up before we are all sold out!

Our future plans is to begin work on the next edition of NewFoundSpecFic. We've now opened up the guidelines to all Canadians, and are looking for any interesting stories with speculative elements. For those looking at submitting stories for publication, go to the site and read the guidelines before submitting.

Next off, we will be appearing at Newfoundland's Biggest Sci-Fi Gathering, Sci-Fi on the Rock in just 3 weeks time. We'll be promoting the next volume as well as selling the book for the special event price of 10$. Among the other guests for the con includes Newfoundland-born authors Kenneth Tam and Matthew LeDrew as well as a very special guest Peter Mayhew, known as Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy.
