March 6th through the 12th is Read an E-Book Week and, if you’re a citizen of the internet, you’re legally obligated to participate.

Luckily for you, all Jersey Devil Press titles are now available on Smashwords, in what we’re fairly confident is every digital format known to man. And even luckilier for you, Smashwords is an official sponsor of Read an E-Book Week and running a sitewide promotion until the 12th, wherein a significant amount of their titles are heavily discounted and all Jersey Devil Press titles, in particular, are free. Yes, that’s right, FREE!

You can find the Jersey Devil Press page on Smashwords by clicking here. All our books are listed at the bottom and, when you select a title, you’ll see a coupon code next to it that’ll give it to you for free. Or, if you’re feeling lazy, that code is RE100. Just enter it at the checkout.

The promotion’s only on for a week, so be sure to get your free electronic copies of Exponential Apocalypse, Perhaps., and The 2010 Jersey Devil Press Anthology while you can. And then tell your friends, neighbors, and random people on the subway. Because once it’s over, you’re going to have to go back to shelling out a dollar or three for a copy like a chump.

Million Writers Award

It’s officially March now, so let us remind you that our March issue is online and begging to be read.

Speaking of March and things you need to read, it’s storySouth Million Writers Award nomination time. This year, we split up the nominations, each of us picking one story, instead of communally choosing. Don’t know that it made a difference, though. I think these three stories would have been at the top of everyone’s list. In any event, here we go:

Monica’s nomination: “That Was Called Love” by Chloe Caldwell
Steve’s nomination: “The Pragmatist” by Hilary Gan
Eirik’s nomination: “Captain Neptunium and Lady U-boat” by Mike Sweeney

And, as always, individual readers can nominate their own favorites that the editors might have missed. Because three is just too damn small a number.

Issue Eighteen now online!

What up.  Welcome to Issue Eighteen of Jersey Devil Press.  It being March – the month where winter and spring collide in an onslaught of runny noses and terrible weather – we thought we’d take a look at some other unusual combinations.

First on the docket is Lorna D. Keach’s tale of murder and knitting, “Night of the Garter.”  Next up is “Bubble Wrap” by Hall Jameson, artfully combining sentient soap bubbles and emotional redemption.  We follow this with “Chimp,” by Ann Capozzoli, the quintessential story of little girls and their monkeys.  Then it’s Brenna Watry’s “The Zombie Wish,” examining what happens to fairies after the zombies rise up.  And, finally, we close with “Laika Wins the Race,” by Bryan Hinojosa, a story that combines two of our favorite things: puppies and the apocalypse.

So there you go, five amalgamations you never saw coming.  Feel free to read them on your phone.

The online version of the issue is here, and the .pdf can be found by clicking here.
