Aontacht Volume 3 Issue 2 is now available for download at the Aontacht web site.

I have just learned that the critically-acclaimed speculative fiction magazine Murky Depths has won the 2010 British Fantasy Award for Best Magazine/Periodical. Congratulations to Terry Martin, the whole editorial crew and all the artists and writers who contributed to this success.

Which would include...

Me! My epistolary short story "The Longest Road in the Universe" was published in the magazine last year, so of course I am especially excited to hear about this award (Incidentally, that publication marked the first time my name ever appeared on the cover of anything too, so...like...SHAZAAM!)

I have taken on the roll of volunteer poetry editor for Aontacht, an online publication of Druidic Dawn. What follows is a call for submissions.

Volume 3, Issue 2,
“Sovereignty”
Deadline Aug 15, 2010


The Celts understood the Wild Earth as sovereign, as a goddess; what is sovereignty and how can we apply this to our everyday life?

For this issue, I'll be looking for poetry that addresses the relationship between the sovereign and the land as expressed in Celtic cosmology and literature. Your interpretation of this theme might be Pagan, Christian, historical, modern, fantastic or other. You might write free verse, structured verse or prose poetry. Submissions should be sent in the body of your e-mail as plain text to aontacht (at) druidicdawn (dot) org.

The new C.S. MacCath web site went live today at 7:15 p.m. EST.
