Order These New Titles For 2008
Laughin' Boy:
Bradley Denton.
In May of 2000, a group of masked paramilitary gunmen opens fire on the crowd at an outdoor festival in Wichita, Kansas, killing 86 people.
Danny Clayton, innocent bystander, is caught on video laughing in the midst of the carnage. Thereafter, dubbed "Laughin' Boy" he
becomes the focal point for the nation's rage and horror at the event. Unable to stop laughing, he is left little choice but to
enter "treatment" with a pair of celebrity psychiatrists. But, of course, in Bradley Denton's dark comedy, nothing is quite
what it seems.
Although the first edition of this novel (a limited edition hardcover from Subterranean Press) appeared in 2005 and this trade paperback
edition is appearing from Wheatland Press in 2008, the text was completed (except for minor revisions) prior to September 11, 2001.

Can't Buy Me Faded Love:
Josh Rountree.
"Josh Rountree's writing came down on me like the Assyrian on the fold."
-- Howard Waldrop
Tune in to a Left of the Dial version of the world, where sixties icons wage a war of ideals in their mutual struggle to free America from Nazi oppression; where the Beatles never happened, but John Lennon still claimed a musical destiny; where even the most well-intentioned muse can lead you astray. This is a world of post-apocalyptic record reviewers and misfit musicians fighting against a virtual Hell on earth. This is a world where the ghosts of dead rock stars sing along with us one more time. Can't Buy Me Faded Love collects nine stories of rock & roll and twisted history from Texas writer, Josh Rountree.

August 15, 2010 UPDATE
A Note from Deborah.
Two weeks ago I was hit with sudden, massive muscle spasms in my back. To the point where I couldn\'t walk. So off I went by ambulance to the hospital. I was in for five days. X-ray and MRI didn\'t show anything ugly and the basic diagnosis was a couple of bulgy disks in the lumbar region and severe muscle strain probably caused from the ever popular combo of Old Age and Over Use (we\'ve been doing some home repairs and stuff).
At this point I am still convalescing. I have had one follow up doctor\'s appointment (at which it was agreed that I don\'t appear to be getting worse) and I start physical therapy this week.
The net result of this is that all the Wheatland Press stuff that should have been dealt with in August wasn\'t. Frankly I don\'t the bandwidth to deal with much more right now, so please try to be patient. Watch this space.

Endeavor Award
Congratulations to David D. Levine whose collection Space Magic won the 2009 Endeavor Award!
The Endeavor Award recognizes a distinguished SCIENCE FICTION or FANTASY BOOK written by a Pacific Northwest author or authors and published in the previous year.
Deadline For Polyphony 7 Preorders
In 2002, the Polyphony anthology series debuted. Conceived as a short fiction venue for stories that would skate gracefully across the boundaries of science fiction, fantasy, magic realism, and literary fiction, it was quickly recognized as the standard bearer for cross genre work. Since then, the series\' six volumes have become a vital, unique collection of voices in literature of the fantastic.
Polyphony has been twice nominated for a World Fantasy Award and the stories therein have been featured in several \"Year\'s Best\" anthologies, along with garnering accolades from several award judges and committees. Polyphony authors range from multiple-award-winning seasoned writers to the previously unpublished. The series is truly a melodic interweaving of many voices: old and new, speculative and literary, heralded and unknown. Polyphony has not merely crossed literary boundaries, it has reformed and redefined them.
The harsh economic climate threatens to kill this vital series. Wheatland Press is asking for your help.
The authors have graciously made concessions to make Polyphony 7 a reality. They\'ve agreed to a reduced pay rate to see the volume published. Now we need readers.
In order to publish Polyphony 7, Wheatland Press must receive 225 paid pre-orders via the website by March 1, 2010. If the pre-order quantities cannot be met, Polyphony will cease publication.
If the preorder number is met, then Polyphony 7 will be published on or about July 1, 2010.*
We have heard from many in the SF/F literary community that Polyphony is a vital part of landscape. We agree, but we cannot continue without your support. We hope that you will support our fine authors and their art by becoming part of the Polyphony community and pre-ordering a copy of Polyphony 7.
*The fine print: If we do not receive enough orders by March 1, then all preorders will be refunded immediately. Do feel free to buy another Wheatland Press title while you are stopping by the website! Those will, as always, ship immediately.
No Submissions Please
As announced previously, Wheatland Press is currently closed to submissions of any kind. I am not reading novel proposals, collection proposals, short stories or poems.
Please do not send your materials to me. They will be deleted unread.
