The short history of Dudley B Metal...
Shortly after returning to writing after an accidental break of three or four years, and returning to writing short stories after an intended break of about seven years, I wrote a story about a lonely robot's encounter with an unhinged serial killer--aren't all serial killers unhinged?--who had set up shop at the edge of a desert.
Bob's Spares & Repairs was originally published in the Help anthology way back in early 2008, and the manic bot's establishment now reappears in reprint form in Twisted Tongue Magazine. You can download a copy of the magazine for free.
HELP, the charity anthology benefiting Preditors & Editors is now available at Lulu as a download, paperback or hardback.
It contains my story 'Bob's Spares & Repairs', plus 'Feats of Magnificence' by Erik Smetana, 'Memory Lane' by Natalie L Sin, 'The Final Quarter' by Jeff Parish, 'Red Cap' by Tim Deal, 'A Visit from a Friend' by Terrie Leigh Reif plus many, many more.
Oh, and talking of charity anthologies. Check out the Shroud Forum where they have posted a copy of the cover for the Northern Haunts anthology edited by Tim Deal. It is beyond awesome. Much gnawing of fingernails going on here.
My surreal, serial killer, robot tale 'Bob's Spares & Repairs' is to appear in the Preditors and Editors Charity Anthology 'HELP!'. Woo-Hoo!!!
It's going to be a whopper of an anthology with stories from almost 70 authors including: Erik Smetana, Jeff Parish, Natalie L Sin, Gustavo Bondoni, Gary Braunbeck, Garry Charles, Stephen Mark Rainey, Joseph McGee, JG Faherty, Sheryl Nantus, Sara Creasy, Michael R Colangelo, John Grover, Colin Harvey, Eric Christ, Mari Adkins, Guy Anthony De Marco, William Blake Vogel III, Karen L Newman, Mark Leslie, Ellen Meister and many, many more... You can find the whole list at the Preditors and Editors My Space page.
In other news: Still waiting to hear whether The Moth Brigade has or has not made it into Permuted's Robots Beyond anthology. Seriously, I am down to my knuckles, everything else is gnawed away. Apparently Lane received 30 extra submissions in the last two days... OMG!!!
The short history of Dudley B Metal...
That piece was a hoot, Cate. Good fun, 'bots and all.
Twisted Tongue will always have a special place in my heart (well, that sounds icky). Anyway, they accepted one of my earlier pieces, giving me a boost when I needed it.
Congrats. I'll check it out. :-)
Downloading this very minute...
Pretty cool story. I liked it.
I have that book! Talk about convenient : )
Thanks, guys.
I remember Bob's Spares & Repairs from, oh, a workshop way back somewhere in the mists of time... I have lived too long. Good one Cate!
I love your characters.
Me too, Ian.
