Just a quick update– Bad news; things are quite slow on the writing front. Good news; things are quite slow on the writing front, because we are finally wrapping up “Whatever Happened to That Weird Kid?” We are in the final edit, and having the work done on the DVD Cover and promo poster.

A Winter’s Update

Lucien E. G. Spelman — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:43:28 +0000

As usual, lot’s in the works this winter: I have added handy, dandy, easy to buy links to a small fraction of the writing and voice-acting work I have been doing the past few months. Look to your right. See those pretty pictures? That’s them. Speaking of voice-acting, I have been very busy with Colonial [...]

A Much Needed Update

Lucien E. G. Spelman — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 05:04:37 +0000

First off, I did not win the Rhysling Award that I was nominated for (“Family Jaunt” in Niteblade Magazine), in the catagory of Long Form Poem; However, neither did Neil Gaiman, so that makes me feel better. The Poems that did win were more deserving anyhow and the one in my category, In The Astronaut [...]

I’m quite pleased that Mythic Delirium has agreed to publish one of my all time favorite poems–a long, ninety-eight line epic about a marriage, called The Wedding Party.

I was just notified that my poem FAMILY JAUNT was nominated for a Rhysling award, and will therefore at the very least, be included in The 2010 Rhysling Anthology, a collection of the poems nominated for the Rhyslings (published by the Science Fiction Poetry Association); members use the Rhysling Anthology to cast their final votes [...]

A Long One

A Short One.

Lucien E. G. Spelman — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:26:04 +0000

My work in the Real World is slowing down giving me some much needed time to catch up on projects. Progress on the novel is slim, but moving forward; submissions are in the works; short stories are being rehashed and re-submitted; and a fun monster short “The Greedy Blue,” is up at The Monsters Next [...]

I contributed a bit of horrific history with this piece. The Alligator [...]
