Johne Cook has interviewed T.W. Ambrose, founder and editor of the Digital Dragon Magazine, at the AuthorCulture blog: http://authorculture.blogspot.com/2010/06/interview-with-digital-dragon-magazine.html

And this update from Jeff Gerke:

We have a change to our contest announced a few days ago -- there is no purchase necessary to enter the contest to have your name appear in one of our upcoming new novels.

Take time on the Fourth of July to stop by our store at

http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/Fiction.htm and buy any of our 12 great fiction titles to receive a free short story by author Steve Rzasa called "Hunting Souls." It takes place in the same universe as his space opera novels The Word Reclaimed and The Word Unleashed, and follows the exploits of an unlikely hero -- one of the secret police who track down Christians.

Then on July 5, MLP will make a random drawing from all the names of people who have registered for the Marcher Lord Press newsletter. Registration is free and may be done any time between now and the end of July 4, 2010 by clicking here. If you've already registered for the newsletter you don't have to take any action -- you will automatically be entered!  Three winners will have their names appear in upcoming MLP novels as previously advertised.

 

There's more information available at http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/SummerSale.html. So remember, go to http://www.marcherlordpress.com/New_Store/Fiction.htm on July 4, 2010 for our new fiction offer and make sure to register for our free newsletter by that date to enter the name contest.

The trailer for the next Narnia movie has appeared: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. So far it's just at Facebook: http://bit.ly/9IHJEG and gives Lewis fans plenty to ponder. How come we see Susan and Peter in there? And Jadis the White Witch, for that matter, she's supposed to have died! And where's the dragon? But it looks like the effects are even better than the previous ones.
