Staying busy with Venetian Spider Press
1 min read
In addition to my own work and poetry, I have been, for the past year, very busy with launching Venetian Spider Press. We have 5 books already out, four more scheduled this summer, and four more for the fall. We have a fair number of poetry books, but also graphic novels, novels, fiction anthologies, and even a childrens' book in the pipeline.
I am, in a word, buried, but loving it.

Many of you know that my son, Elric has been posting on here for yours. and while not as prolific, he has been demonstrating some solid craft.
I won't discuss his screen name as it is being taken off his account as his request. It seems a while back, while entering the year of his birth (not his email, not his real name, not the day and month of his birth) he fat-fingered the year. as a result, he cannot recover his password. whether this is due to automated security limitations or strict definition of policy, TPTB at DeviantArt have informed him that without the year (he's even shown them his driver's license) they cannot help him.
As one who has held government security clearances, it is oddly comforting that it would be easier to get access to top secret materials than get a password reset on DeviantArt, but policy is policy! I even got involved briefly to try and resolve the situation, but was rejected (if politely).
As much as I hate to see him go (and I doubt he will return, this endeavor has left a foul taste in his mouth), I wish him well. I considered closing my account in protest, or at least deleting many of my pieces, but he talked me out of it.
Ah well. At least they agreed to take his name off of the account (which seems an odd solution, but who knows what the limitations of their security system is).
