Omnibus vs Anthology

Yeah, have a few more anthologies on the way, but also some omnibuses... similar to Pym, will collect similar-themed fiction by different authors (usually). I just finished the ocr correction for The Devil-Tree of El Dorado, and am almost done with Vampires of the Andes, so will publish them together, I think. With separate books, I'd have to ask $13.95 minimum for the fiction, while I can put two novels together for $19.95 and save the reader some money (and still make a profit). The omnibus also allows me to market more effectively on Amazon, as the book won't be automatically shuttled as an alternative paperback for a current title by another publisher.

Out of the Sand: Egyptian SciFi / Fantasy


Just sent to the printer: Out of the Sand: Mummies, Pyramids, and Egyptology in Classic Science Fiction and Fantasy. (Maybe it's just me, but I think I created an inadvertent optical illusion, placing the subtitle over wavy sand lines; makes them look a bit crooked.)
