Cyril Niccolai - I Belong to you (The Fairchilds)

2012-02-15T15:44:00.001Z

Lovely song... I especially like the way this verse sounds:

"You know my love for you is blind"

It's Been 10 Years

Rule 34 - Vampire Diaries Styles

2012-02-11T09:25:00.002Z

It's way below freezing outside, so here's your Saturday morning porn to warm up... Just because Damon Salvatore exists, of course there'll be porn about him. After all, he must have shagged the entire female population of Mystic Falls by now. :P

No Scifientland 2010/2011 Anthology

2012-02-09T07:51:00.003Z

Mircea Coman announced on his blog that the Scifientland 2010/2011 Anthology project has been dropped. All I can say is too bad. Maybe next time. Until then, the table of contents is available here and all the stories can be read on-line.

Venus Available on Elefant.ro

2012-02-07T17:46:00.002Z

"Venus - Povestiri erotice science fiction" is available exclusively on Elefant.ro. The anthology is nominated for 2012 Galileo Awards and it includes my story "Adevarul din privire" so don't miss it!

Rule 34 - Supernatural Style

2012-02-06T09:14:00.002Z

So Dean and 'Aunt Jenna' are getting it on to "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC soundtrack. Kudos to whoever removed the gore parts... because of course there has to be porn about it!

Story: An Hour of Love

2012-02-01T10:55:00.003Z

Some of you might still remember this one, it's a story fitting this month's theme:

Galileo Awards 2012 - Nominations

2012-01-29T13:26:00.002Z

The nominations for Galileo Awards 2012 have been announced on Galileo Online. None of my stories made the cut, but "Miss Vu's Morning Ride" is mentioned among those that have received a "significant number of votes" (whatever that means) so thank you to those who voted for it.

"Steampunk: A doua revoluţie” and "Venus – povestiri erotice science fiction” are still in the run for Best Anthology. Thank you in advance to those who will vote for them.

Observator cultural mention

2012-01-27T17:04:00.002Z

There's a mention of my story "Unhinged Reality" and my blog in "Observator cultural". That's good for the story, but I'm wondering if I'll have to explain again that this is not a "serious" writer blog. :P No writing tips, no book reviews (at least not in awhile), no other writers/books/publishers promoting (though maybe there should be just to show support to the fandom). No comments on politics, religion, scandals, no juicy stuff. Just me and my world... as twisted as it is. :)

Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas

2012-01-24T11:00:00.004Z

Leonard Cohen's new album "Old Ideas" is currently streamed on The Guardian's website before its official release on January 31.

After having listened to it twice, I can say it's better than "Dear Heather", though not as good as "Ten New Songs". Still, it's great and it's wonderful to finally have some new Cohen material to listen to. And dance to it if you will. ;)

I love love love "Different Sides", perfect song to end the album.

Galileo Awards 2012 - Eligible Stories

2012-01-21T12:04:00.006Z

Soooo... Galileo Online has made available the list of eligible novels, stories, and anthologies for the 2012 Galielo Awards.

My stories are the following:

"Adevărul din privire”, "Venus – povestiri erotice science fiction”,
editor Antuza Genescu, Eagle House Publishing, December, 2011
"Plimbarea de dimineaţă a domnişoarei Vu”, "Steampunk: A doua revoluţie”,
editor Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books, March, 2011
"Camuflaj”, Nautilus, no. 47, December, 2011
"Navigând prin ceaţă”, SRSFF, November, 2011
"Culori şi umbre”, Nautilus, no. 45, October, 2011
"Inimi de piatră”, Nautilus, no. 42, July, 2011
"Alergând după o rază de soare”, Gazeta SF, no. 6, June, 2011
"Ne întâlnim la capătul drumului”, Nautilus, no. 40, May, 2011
"Uriaşii”, Nautilus, no. 38, March, 2011
"Foşnet de îngeri”, Nautilus, no. 36, January, 2011

Also, in the anthology category, I'm interested in "Steampunk: A doua revoluţie” and "Venus – povestiri erotice science fiction” because my stories are included in both of them.

Update: Alexandru Ioan Despina lists "Camuflaj" and "Navigand prin ceata" among his top 9 favorite contenders for the short stories category. He should know, he's been analysing the SF&F stories published on-line for half a year or so.

To these two stories I would like to add "Plimbarea de dimineata a domnisoarei Vu" and "Adevarul din privire", which are not that bad either if I may say so. :)

Story: The Invasion

2012-01-18T13:04:00.004Z

My contribution to "The 1001 Fabrications of the Sci Fi Old Man" short prose section from Moshul SF's blog is called "The Invasion".

I've got the idea one evening, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow move on the ceiling.

Luckily, it was not an alien!

Steampunk - A Top Ten Millennium Book

2012-01-18T12:53:00.003Z

"Steampunk: The Second Revolution" was ranked 6th in Fan SF's Top Ten Millennium books.

Miss Vu would be proud. :)

Galileo Awards 2012

2012-01-16T07:25:00.004Z

Galileo Online announced it's time for the Galileo Awards 2012. According to my calculations, 10 of my stories should be eligible. We'll see when the final list of nominees is announced.

Steampunk and Venus are already listed in the anthology category. I have high hopes for them.

Dancing on Mars and Other Fantasy Stories Review

2012-01-12T09:54:00.003Z

It's been a while since "Dancing on Mars and Other Fantasy Stories" was published, but it's always nice to see a new review coming out. Read it in Galileo Online.

Venus - Erotic Sci Fi Stories Review

2012-01-10T10:32:00.002Z

The first Venus - Erotic Sci Fi Stories detailed review I've read so far appeared on SRSFF's site.

I'm only half way through reading the book, but I found myself agreeing with what's being said. And this is all I'm going to say on the subject.

Hmm, maybe I'll write a post about how my little story came to life. :)

Praises for Steampunk and Venus

2012-01-04T14:13:00.005Z

According to FanSF, Steampunk is the second best book published by Millennium Books in 2011, and Venus is the best book published by Eagle Publishing House in 2011.

Since my stories are included in both anthologies, I couldn't be any more proud. :)

Dima Bilan - Blind Love

2011-12-28T15:37:00.001Z

or Ian Somerhalder in a tux, with a mask, and being a total bad ass = perfect holiday fantasy. :)

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-24T15:05:00.005Z

Merry Christmas!

P.S. Yes, there are no presents under the tree. We'll bring them out tonight just before opening them, otherwise they wouldn't stand a chance. :))
