Notes on the Brazilian front

[ckastens]

Lots of writing news from Brazil.

1) Since the book launch in December, I've been invited to participate in three anthologies.  All three are themed, all three from different publishers, and all three around 5-6K words.  Only one has been announced officially, which is Malleus Maleficarum - The Witch Hammer by Argonautas Editora.

Unlike the U.S.

This is all so exciting, Christopher! And I love the photos! *waves* Hi, Brazilian brothers and sisters! It looks just like a gathering of genre folks here in Omaha! Food! Beer! Laughs! Yay!

It was a lot of fun. :)

That looks like a great party!

We had a great time!

Thanks!

Theoretically, I'm guaranteed a slot. In fact, in the one that's been announced, my name has been publicized as an author.

If they really hate the story, they can always boot me, but it's rare.

Thanks!

Pretty much everyone's eyes are glowing in these crappy photos. You just don't see it so much in the reduced version.

You are having an excellent year. Here in Argentina, the market is tiny when compared to Brazil, so I just send my work to English-language markets and translate only one or two stories per year to Spanish.

It has been an great year, to be sure.

I still send my work to English markets first, but these invites are kind of freebie publications. Good for exposure here to support the books.
