Wealth and the Lucky Witch---Denver Witch Quarterly (Imbolc/Ostara 2017)--coming January 15, 2017 (pre-orders available soon)
And once again it is time to kick around what I want to accomplish during the upcoming year (other than to stay healthy and to generally annoy people).
Well, I am hoping to get the first installment of my little Necronomicon satire finished---hopefully by the time that the mercury retrograde is done later this month.
Then I have to work on the October issue of Denver Witch Quarterly. (We are always looking for submissions--email them to basttemple at msn dot com.) This involves writing up a couple of news reports, a ritual, and possibly doing a book review or two. And formatting and uploading. And some minor bookkeeping (with this second issue, I have to start tracking numbers....because we might sell enough copies for some of the contributors to get paid--or not).
And then we have four other issues of DWQ over the next year. (Did I mention that we are always looking for submissions?)
I have a few other satire bits that I would like to work on. And perhaps some coloring pages.
Remember that satire is fatal to some people.
And there are a few series that I need to write the first novels for. (I am not sure which one will be done first...and November is a little ways away, so I do have time to decide.) And one of the series include something involving tentacles....because tentacles!!!
And like always there will be a certain amount of copy and art done for the Tarot Blog Hop, and a couple of articles for the Hermetic Tablet, and I might work on the astrology dictionary that I have planned. Plus there might be some other pieces done for projects being done by other people.
And of course, I am going to start writing erotica again under one of my many other secret pen-names. (The rule is if Mom would be upset for the church to find out about it, then it is under a pen-name....because Mom's reputation is more important than mine--and this is despite the fact that she is dead.)
And I am going to do some more YouTube videos...probably.
A cross between Douglas Adams, Robert Heinlein, Erma Bombeck, Sybil Leek, and Wednesday Addams, Morgan Drake Eckstein writes in multiple genres and under many pennames. A survivor of several secret societies, MDE has served as a pagan (Wicca) community church board member as well as a Golden Dawn Hierophant. Today, he is (along with his wife, Khari) a minister of Fireside Wicca Community Church in Denver, Colorado.
Among his pennames are Michael Ramalia (the New Egyptian Space Empire) . . .
