May '09 Issue is Out There, Baby!

Yup, The Nautilus Engine Volume 2 Number 4, May 2009 is online and ready for you to take a good long look-see! Apologies that it didn't make it live earlier on May 1st, we were having some technical difficulties.

Even now (May 2 at 3:05 a.m.) I know the issue has a few minor bugs. I hope to give the whole thing a good once-over aftr I get some sleep.

But we've got nine fun new stories. That's a record for us! And a featured artist on the image gallery page. So enjoy and tell your friends. And start thinking about submitting for the next issue (the plan is August 1 for that one).

Thank You and.... Goodnight!

Ya Got Two Weeks

or thereabouts to get into my grubby little mitts a few more stories, features, reviews, or other related materials of a speculative fiction nature.

And, while I wait, with a modicum of patience, I'll offer you this fun little cartoon, "It was a Dark and Silly Night" from none other than the likes of Gahan Wilson and Neil Gaiman. It's cute. Enjoy.

1 month!

Can you guess? Yes, it's a call for submissions! I've accepted three (or is it four?) stories for the next issue (May 1), but I'd really like to have six or seven total plus some features or reviews!

So, come on kids, let's put on a show. There's costumes in the barn and Momma knows music, if you know what I mean! Don't make me write stuff, myself. You won't like the result! It's like not making David Banner angry. You gotta trust me on this one!

Submissions accepted until the bovine creatures approach their original base of operations!

Thank You,
Ronnie W. of the Fictions

Hello Faithful Nautilus Engine Readers!

We're only about six weeks out from the next issue and I've accepted three new stories so far. Which means we've got room for a few more. You know where I'm going with this! Send me your best short story or even a feature or review. I'd love to see it and, if it revs our engines, you can bet it will make the mag.

For inspiration, you might read a terrific collection of shorts, like I am right now.

Reading Neil Gaimen's Fragile Things. Just terrific. And did you catch him on The Colbert Report the other night? Just a hoot.

It's Alive!!!!!!!!!!!

Volume 2, Number 3 of The Nautilus Engine is a alive and well and kickin' butt! And all of four hours early (I'm working out of Mountain Time these days!!)!

Seven swell stories for your edification and a page of movie trailers to dazzle your eyes.

Read 'em and don't weep. Read 'em and drop us a comment or two. We'd love to hear from you. (We've asked Dr. Frankenstein to leave a light on for you up in the tower.)

You've Got Two Days!

Two days and three more stories! Just accepted:

The Iron Morning in the Metallic Sunrise by James Lecky
Wincheart's Radioactive Roadshow by Dylan Fox
It Will All Be Carried Away by Heath Lowrance

bringing our fiction offering for the new issue up to seven terrific stories from every realm of speculative fiction.

Also, I've already put up a new page full of movie trailers for flicks we're looking forward to in 2009. Sci-fi, horror, animation, and comic books come to life. Take a gander and start saving your popcorn money!

Tune back on Sunday for all the freshy freshersons!

five days!

Five days, little winter days at that..... until the new Nautilus Engine is released upon the world!

Drool much!?!?!?

Here then, cork up that salivating cakehole with the following commercial interuption. I think it will entertain and distract you until such time as FIVE DAYS have passed and you may emerge from the coccoon of no fiction and revel in the wonders that are the technicolor butterfly of GREAT SPECULATIVE FICTION!
