The article/release has a cool title, I thought.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve sold the print rights to Under A Raging Moon to Wolfmont publishing, the same publisher that released Seven By Seven.
The book is scheduled for release on June 15th, 2006!
Here’s what the cover will look like:
Pre-orders are being accepted, no money down. Email me at frankzafiro@msn.com and let me know you want a copy. All pre-orders get their $9.95 instead of the $12.95 cover price. Shipping for pre-orders is FREE!
If you prefer an ebook over a hard copy, ePress-Online will be releasing an ebook version as well. More to come on that.

My story The Meat-cutter’s Wife has been published at Mysterical-E Magazine. It’s the lead-off story, in fact.
You can read it right HERE.
What’s cool is that even though I wrote the stories over six months apart, both The Meat-cutter’s Wife and it’s brother story, Rescuing Isaac, were published at the same time. Rescuing Isaac is still up over at Thuglit, right HERE.
If you haven’t read either one yet, read The Meat-cutter’s Wife first, then Rescuing Isaac.
The characters of Dom and Valeriy from these two stories also appear or are referenced in Be My Santa Baby (in the previous issue of Mysterical-E), Finch And Elias (unpublished) and Pride Goeth (from 7x7). The events in The Meat-cutter’s Wife are referenced in If Only (February 2005 issue of Ascent Aspirations Magazine), Good Shepherd (November 2005 issue of Ascent Aspirations Magazine and a Derringer Finalist) and the unpublished, collaborative novel Some Degree of Murder.
Just another example of the character overlap in River City.

The editor at Koboca Publishing informed me that the projected release date for the anthology The EX-Factor is FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13TH, 2006.
There’s something fitting about that...

My address to the reader’s group at the Valley Hastings went well. Nice people, with great questions and very good listeners!
Today’s appearance at the North Division Hastings also went well. People were engaging and the book sold well. In fact, except for the copies at the local bookstores, I’ve sold out! I have more coming from the publisher, however. Let me tell you, it is a nice problem to have.
Anyone wanting a copy can email me directly at frankzafiro@msn.com or get Seven By Seven at any local Hastings or downtown at Auntie’s. It is also available for order at any bookstore, online or bricks and mortar.
I hope to set up a couple more appearances in support of 7x7. Then, in June, my novel will be released...and I’ll be at it again!

Tonight’s appearance/signing/whatever you want to call it includes a brief hiatus during which I’ll be addressing a reader’s group that assembles at this particular bookstore.
This’ll be a first for me.
Luckily, I’ve spoken in front of groups on a variety of other subjects, so hopefully that experience will carry through and I don’t catch fire and have to ditch my plane over the Indian Ocean.
I also spoke with the producer of a local radio talk show. She seemed real nice and had called me at work about appearing on the show to discuss the police volunteer progams I oversee. I said yes, of course, but as the conversation was ending, I changed hats and mentioned my writing career, Seven By Seven and Under A Raging Moon. Her interest seemed genuine, so you never know.
This promoting stuff is constant, I’m discovering. I’m attending a meeting of a regional authors & self-publishers group this morning. Not sure I’ll join, as that ‘self-publisher’ tag is one I’m wary of. Nothing at all wrong with it whatsoever, but in a number of circles it has a negative connotation. However, I am certain that a group like this would be chock-full of marketing ideas...so we’ll see.
