Escape Velocity Magazine Released

Geoff Nelder and I released the first issue of Adventure Books' hard sci-fi magazine this week. It's an A-4 size paperback with glossy covers and heavy cream paper interior. Very nice.

There are twenty short stories, two Photo Features, science articles and a film review of the newly restored version of 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars.'

Interest in the mag spiked so quickly that we had to create a website away from AB, one dedicated strictly to the magazine.

The Escape Velocity Magazine

Authors: EV is a modestly paying market and listed with Ralan and Duotrope.

New Release by Adventure Books

Well, admittedly I used my position at AB to publish another book, but sometimes there are things you just HAVE to do. I released a massive collection of my best work (decided by AB Staff, not me) called 'A Question of Balance - Selected Works 1982-2007'

This one is printed in A-4 sized (magazine size, approximately) paperback and runs 544 pages. You need a bookbag to haul the thing around. It contains three complete novels, dozens of short stories, some illustrated science and future-prediction articles from my column at Newsvine, and about 20 Mars photos in tiff format.

Then, I dropped the royalty add-ons to nearly nothing and placed it for sale onsite for a measly $16.99 plus shipping. For a book as huge as this one, that's not bad...

You can see previews, covers, etc. through the link at our website at AB on the Current Titles page.
