FATHERS & SONS, Book 1 in the BLACKGUARD series, out NOW

BLACKGUARD, BOOK 1: OUT here

More when I can blink. Too many to thank at once. Too tough a day to do anything but go face first in the keyboard, and bask in the black, black light.

And in my sleep, the battlefield of mind rises behind my eyes in swirls of rainbow strobes and chemical fog. In the Club Inside, several elder sets of eyes switch on at the sight of Burke's head in full riot-gear, in full black-and-white, on the cover of the paperback.

Small press or no, advance or no, I have written this thing in the basements of Hell, under the aegis of the finest men and women who ever worked a door downtown. Seeing the cover is its own reward.The filling is even more startling.

THE WORLDS OF PHILIP JOSE FARMER: LIMITED EDITION ANTHOLOGY

GET EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT

May be crashing the Locus Awards in Seattle that weekend (June 26, 2010) for Farmercon, to help promote the work... and sign books.

Phil couldn't make it. He's out on the River right now with Bill Burroughs, reading the story I sold to this anthology and snickering. The preface placed on my story was put there at Phil's own behest.

"You do not go to heaven unless you are already in it. The magic must be wrought by you and you alone. God has no fairy wand to tap the pig and turn it into a swan."
