Ecotastrophe II is still looking for submissions
Borrowed from the Nomadic Delirium Press blog:
In 2006, Sam’s Dot Publishing released an anthology about the effects of global climate change on humanity called Ecotastrophe. Now that it’s been almost ten years since the release, and global climate change still seems a possible threat to humanity, Nomadic Delirium Press has decided to release Ecotastrophe II. Like the original collection, this one will be edited by J Alan Erwine.
What we’re looking for: We want science fiction stories between 3,000 and 10,000 words that look at the effects of global climate change (preferably the extreme effects) on humanity and the other creatures of Earth. We’re not looking for stories about the change, but rather the effects of the change. Although we’d love to have a lot of stories that look at the hard science of climate change, we also want stories that look at the soft sciences. It’s important that the stories focus on the people, rather than the science, but we still want the science to be plausible.
What we’re paying: We will pay $10 for first rights to any story. We will also pay two contributor copies. If possible, we will increase this payment…but we can’t guarantee that.
Poetry Submissions: We've decided that we will be accepting four, and only four, poems for this collection. They must meet the same criteria as story submissions, and we will pay $5 per poem for first rights, plus one contributor's copy. Please keep in mind that we will only accept one poem per poet.
Where to send your little gems: All submissions should be sent to editor (at) nomadicdeliriumpress (dot) com. Your subject should be “Ecotastrophe Submission”.
Response times: We will respond to all submissions within two months.
Publication date: We are shooting for a mid-Summer 2016 release.
Other questions: If you have any other questions, please send them to the submission address.

Disharmony of the Spheres is still accepting submissions
From the Nomadic Delirium Press blog:
Disharmony of the Spheres will be a science fiction
anthology in which the main character must be battling some type of mental
illness. While we will consider stories where the character is dealing with an
illness like schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder, what we really
want to see is characters that are battling an illness like depression, bipolar
disorder, anxiety, PTSD, etc. This is meant to be an uplifting collection of
stories, so the characters must overcome their illness to defeat whatever
they’re up against. They don’t necessarily have to overcome their illness
completely, but they must show that even when suffering from a mental illness,
a person can still achieve great things.
Story particulars: We want stories that are 2,000
words or longer. All stories must be science fiction, and they must fit into
the guidelines as outlined above.
What we’re paying: We will pay $5 per story for one
time rights, and we will also pay two contributor copies. This is less than we
would normally pay for an anthology, but half of all of the profits from this
book will be going to the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention organization, which
helps to battle teen suicide. We will consider reprints for this anthology.
Poetry Submissions: We've decided that we
will be accepting four, and only four, poems for this collection. They
must meet the same criteria as story submissions, and we will pay $5 per
poem for one time rights, plus one contributor's copy. Please keep in
mind that we will only accept one poem per poet.
Where to send your stories and poems: All stories and poems should be
sent to editor (at) nomadicdeliriumpress (dot) com. The subject line should
include “Disharmony submission.”
Response times: We will respond to all submissions
within two months.
Other questions: If you have any other questions,
please feel free to send them to the address above.

Red Moon Rising on Earth Day
Today is Earth Day, and other than doing whatever you can to help preserve the planet, the best thing you can do is order a copy of my environmental novel, Red Moon Rising. The book is available as both a print and e-book, and the print version is even on sale...
http://store.albanlake.com/product/red-moon-rising/
J Alan Erwine takes you into a future environmental nightmare that is not only all too possible, but is in fact well on the way there. The air and seas are filthy with pollution and oil spills, the U.S. Government is an effete and toothless replica of its former self, and business decides which rules they will allow to be enforced. Corporations lie, people die.
Including Erik Singer’s brother Jeromie, killed while seeking evidence against an oil company regarding their spills in the Gulf. After five years, Erik has had enough of wallowing in loss and self-pity. Emboldened by the words and visions of a Native American environmentalist, Erik is ready to act.
And he has colleagues. The reluctant mayor of Tampa. The daughter of the most egregious industrialist. And a tree-hugging terrorist. Can just four people make a difference?

A new novel from Tyree Campbell
The Butterfly and the Sea Dragon is now available for pre-order.
You can pre-order the print version from us for $1 off at http://nomadicdeliriumpress.com/blog/product/the-butterfly-and-the-sea-dragon-a-yoelin-thibbony-rescue/
You can pre-order the e-book version from Smashwords at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/630127
You can pre-order the Kindle version at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EBA55E0
“The only records that delineate and authenticate Corporatia territories are on that Palmetto. We want it back.”
“What happened?” Yoelin asked.
“A records clerk bypassed security, recorded the information and then deleted it from our computers, and departed for Havelox Rest, outside our jurisdiction, where we believe she is now.”
After the words “Havelox Rest,” Yoelin heard only the pounding of her heart. A wave of dizziness passed. Why there? Why did it have to be there?
So who’s Yoelin Thibbony? That’s what she calls herself now. She endured a cruel and abusive childhood, when there was no one to rescue her. Now she performs Rescues of people or things—sometimes for hire, sometimes for free. She’s been hired to retrieve stolen archives. But to perform this Rescue, Yoelin has to return to Havelox Rest, the world of her childhood—a world that still holds dark and bleak terrors for her.
