You're fine. It's a little over halfway filled, and I expect to be accepting subs until mid-Feb. I'll post here when a definite deadline is set.

[MilesB]

We have an official closing date:  Feb. 15th will be the last day that subs are accepted, so you've got 20 days get those stories in!

[MilesB]

Go ahead and take a nice, long look at yourself in the mirror, and ask yourself one simple question - is there a killer monster hunter story inside me? Is there? IS THERE?

Nod smugly, because you know that there is, and start writing it so that you can send it in before Feb. 15th. That is all.

[Matthew]

Cowboys and werewolves with a couple of dark twists?

Working on it.

[MilesB]

Bring it on!

[MilesB]

This is the last call for subs! There's 1 week left to tunr them in!

http://pillhillpress.lefora.com/2010/12/10/leather-denim-silver-call-for-subs/

If you've already subbed, and not heardd back from me yet, please know that I've read every story sent in and final decisions will be made by the 16th! Cheers!

[MilesB]

Subs are officially closed. i got swamped with stories over the last few days, so if you didn't hear back form me today, you will tomorrow. I'll update the thread as sson as I have a release date. Cheers!

[MilesB]

Alright, all acceptances and rejections have been sent out. I'll be sending out contracts over the next few days, and please get them back to me as soon as possible!

As it stands, this is going to be a whopper of a book. I begged to include a few extra stories, and wound up with a monster hunting tome.

When it is printed, it will be heavy enough to use as a weapon against monsters, which is only fitting. heh

[Thom Brannan]

got the proof and sent in my one "fix." the book looks sexy. SEXY.

[MilesB]

This book is live! Here's the Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Denim-Silver-Legends-Monster/dp/1617060836/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303430510&sr=8-1

It's also available at the Pill Hill site, Barnes & Noble, and other fine retailers...

The only problem I see is that all of the Monster Hunters will be at home by the fire, enjoying stories, while the monsters run wild...

Facebook'd!

Cool!

Recently interviewed editor Miles Boothe about his new monster-hunter anthology, Leather, Denim & Silver.

Questions include:

• If you could be any one of these monsters, which one would it be? Why?
  
• If you were a hunter, which monster in this anthology would you pursue and why?
  

Writers take note: Pill Hill Press just opened for submissions to the sequel, The Trigger Reflex!

Enjoy!

Thanks again David!

Leather, Denim & Silver is now available at www.PillHillPress.com, Amazon, & Barnes & Noble.
The Trigger Reflex is now accepting subs:

It's official!

PHP (with editor Miles Boothe) is now accepting submissions to THE TRIGGER REFLEX, the sequel to Leather, Denim & Silver. Please check out the OFFICIAL GUIDELINES for details.

Miles is ready and willing and waiting for your submissions!

The book will look similar to the first one (same size, style, etc.). It will be a BEAUTIFUL book -- if you don't believe me, pick up a copy of Leather, Denim & Silver!

Here are the basics:




We are now accepting submissions to THE TRIGGER REFLEX, the exciting sequel to LEATHER, DENIM & SILVER!


The moon is rising. Your breath frosts the air as your grip tightens over the weapon, as you slip into the woods with a single thought…

The job is not done.

The Monster Hunter is a breed apart, destined to a life filled with anguish, wild triumph, and blood. We want more of their very best stories.


For inspiration, follow Van Helsing from Dracula, or Sylvester James from Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter.  Follow Quint from Jaws, Tangina Barrows from Poltergeist, or even Ripley from Alien.


Set them after snow-beasts in the Himalayas, sea-monsters off of Komodo, or sandworms in Egypt. Give us legend, folklore, or beasts unknown that never leave the shadows.


Tell the stories of those that hunt these monsters, stories filled with wild chases, hair-raising close calls, tragedy, regret and bloody victory. Make them gritty, give them punch, or make them subtle, creepy and suspenseful. You are welcome to dazzle, but bleak will be equally appreciated.


Make the hunters heroes, or make them more evil than the creatures they hunt. Give them blind determination and a hell bent desire to win no matter what the cost, or let them face a moral uncertainty over whether or not they’re doing the right thing by killing…


If you want to see great examples of the kind of stories that Miles Boothe is looking for, please refer to Leather, Denim & Silver in print or ebook (Nook & Kindle).
