My Writing Site is Coming Soon

I hope!

I've been pretty busy with projects both fiction and otherwise, but I'm hoping to get my new writing site up very soon, hopefully by Dragon*Con. You can see the place holder page by visiting www.jamesmpalmer.com.

I don't use my middle initial in my byline, but jamespalmer.com belongs to a real estate agent in Orlando. Oh well.

Nightmare Cafe

Back in the mid nineties there was this great and sadly short lived show that aired on NBC called The Nightmare Cafe. Produced by Wes Craven, it starred Robert Englund (Blackie), Jack Coleman (Frank) and Lindsay Frost (Faye), and combined the feel of an anthology series like the Twilight Zone with a drama's fixed cast.

It only lasted 5 or 6 episodes, thanks to a late Friday night timeslot, but you can watch the first episode on YouTube.

In this download, the poster didn't get the first few seconds of Robert Englund's intro, which is "Touch that remote and you die."

Good stuff.

Just Arrived

My copies of the reprint of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Warlord of Mars, containing my introduction, arrived yesterday, and they look great. Grab yours here. You can get each book in trade paperback or all three in a single hardcover.

Hey, gang. Check out my White Rocket Books' own --and fellow Airship 27 cohort--Van Allen Plexico's latest. This is a book of trivia compiled from his years of hosting Marvel/DC Jeopardy at Dragon*Con. Grab a copy and stump your friends.

Warlord of Mars Reprint Now Out

A cool reprint of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Warlord of Mars, the third book in the John Carter of Mars trilogy, is now out from White Rocket Books.

Each paperback in the series contains original 1914-era artwork, and Warlord includes an introduction by me!

The books are just $7.95, and you can order one or all of them from here.

I'm on the Guest List with Spock!

That's right. Leonard Nimoy is going to be a guest at this year's Dragon*Con.

Leonard. Frickin. Nimoy. I seldom get excited about the media guests, but as a longtime Star Trek fan, I am now even more excited about this year's con than usual, if such a thing is possible.

Oh, and you can also find me there. You can find my guest bio here.

I'll Be a Guest at Dragon*Con!

I'm pleased to announce that I will once again be a guest at Dragon*Con. It's held every Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia.

It's largely a media con, but they always have programming tracks for writers and science fiction and fantasy literature, and some amazing author guests.

I hope to see you there!
