Graveside Tales will be publishing my collection Looking at the World With Broken Glass in My Eye early in 2010. This is a revised and greatly expanded version of the previously announced Bone Songs. The title – which may be too long for the book’s spine – contains previously published stories, including the long out-of-print Deadneck Hootenanny. LATWWBGIME (I hope you don’t mind the acronym) also has several unpublished stories, plus a new 25, 000 word novella. I'll let you know more when it’s available for pre-order. |

I just found out the introduction will be penned by Ronald Kelly. I am psyched! |

Ron Kelly just sent me his introduction, and I loved this paragraph: "The collection you hold in your hands is an excellent example of what Mark Justice can do with words, imagination, and a generous helping of twisted humor. As I read these tales, I was completely drawn into their storylines. The characters were akin to folks I know or knew growing up, the places familiar ground that I had walked all my life. Mark is damn good at that. He’s the kind of natural storyteller that was once so plentiful in the South, but now has dwindled down to a surviving few. And the man can make you laugh! Laugh so danged hard that you nearly want to pee. (I don’t think I actually pissed myself during the reading of these tales, but I do think I lost a drop or two)."

If anyone's interested, this is still on track to come out in the Spring. The editor is marking it up this weekend and the phenomenally talented Billy Tackett is painting the cover. |

I just got the edits back on the collection. It will be a few days before I can dig into them but zowie! that's a lot of red! I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good editor. (I've encountered some horrible editors, too. But that's a posting for another day.) |

If anyone is interested, I've added a second original novella to the collection. The word count will now be a bit over 100K. Last I heard, it was on track to be published in late July. |

The latest update is that I turned in the final rounds of edits this past week. Now the book has to be formatted, and it should go up for pre-order. I really feel like it's a strong collection. The two novellas are original pieces, and there are also a handful of original stories. The collection will be bookended by the two stories that make up the long-sold out Deadneck Hootenanny. I'll post details here when it becomes available for pre-order. |

I stopped by Billy Tackett's boothy at GenCon again this year and told him I was looking forward to seeing his artwork for your book. He's a super nice guy to talk to. |

The publisher just let me know that this goes to the printer in a couple of weeks. I'll post further updates, and the cover, as soon as I can. |
