A new contributor signs in.
Greetings from your new Wednesday contributor. I’ve been asked to join in this blog to provide the occasional perspectives about horror, near future science fiction, self publishing, and whatever else comes to mind to write about. But I thought I’d start a little about who I am for people who don’t follow my blog.
My name is DL Thurston, and I’m a member of the Cat Vacuuming Society, the writing group that has largely spawned this blog. I’ve written science fiction, horror, the occasional dalliance in humor, and various combinations of the three. Currently I’m working on a novel called Capsule, which is a a sci-fi horror novel set in the mid 2070s, which has given me the opportunity to do a lot of research into tech trends and predictions for where near future technology is leading us. I’ve also written a Gothic horror novel called Conqueror Worm, and an apocalyptic humor novel called End of the Line. Outside of novels, I’ve collaborated with my wife on a teleplay pilot and will soon be writing a camp horror screenplay called Trilobite Terror. In general I dabble in whatever interests me at the time.
While working on Capsule I’ve also been exploring the world of self publication on new media devices though an older novel of mine called Rust. This has let me look at the processes behind getting ones own works into the Kindle, Sony Reader, and iBook stores, as well as setting up distribution channels for ePub files.
I’m hoping to provide insights on anything and everything that I’ve learned in these various projects, including my processes for researching and creating near-future technology, experiences and lessons learned about self e-publishing, what makes good horror and bad horror, as well as anything else that comes to mind to babble about on a weekly basis.
So I’d like to just close by thanking Day and Renee for a chance to play in their sandbox here at Unleaded, and hope to provide some good information to their readers going forward. It’s great to be part of the Unleaded family.
