In Kathryn's Korner: A Memoir
I've been writing a column for our local daily newspaper in Upstate New York for the Sunday edition for more than 20 years. It was never my goal to be a newspaper columnist. I wanted to be an actress or maybe sing and dance on stage. But along the way to my dream, I was diagnosed with MS. I can tell you that this diagnosis has turned into a gift that changed my perspective on life and what was important. Along the way, many people have been helpful, caring, loving and supportive. This book of my memoirs is a culmination of my experiences as well as a tribute to all those people, family and friends who have helped me along the way. This support has been overwhelming. I have so much to say and share due to all these people who have been in my, that is, In Kathryn's Korner!
Phenomenal Stories, Vol. 2, No. 4
Phenomenal Stories #08 features the origin story, ?Secrets, ? and continuing the theme, we present Henry Kuttner's classic ?The Secret of Kralitz.? H.P. Lovecraft contributes his classic tale, ?The Temple, ? and PS presents the next installment of Richard H. Nilsen's fantasy serial, ?The Book of Power.? Dunces & Dragons continues its exhausted and exhaustive adventures of put-upon reporter/columnist J.D.

Nilsen's column, The Write Stuff, is designed to help novice writers out there to get writing. This installment focuses upon discipline for writers. Future parts will go into other specifics to help the budding writer write. The editor quotes Dorothy Parker in his views about ?Having Written.?

Zirlinson Publishing: 35 Years 1983-2018: A History in Cover Art
It has been a long, strange road, and probably has no end clearly in sight. Many more books are in the works as I write this in early December 2018. For example, I have published nine novels to date, and am writing nine more, with plans for some beyond that. The Shawn M. Tomlinson's Guide to Photography series has 29 titles in print, with another five or six nearly complete, and plans for 30 to 40 more. I'm also trying to rework and rearrange those books into omnibus editions by chronology and by theme.I never will get every book done I want to do, but it keeps me busy.I always planned on putting out a catalog of all the Zirlinson Books, but kept getting waylaid for one reason or another until now. This catalog is available as a print book in color. The color print book will be cost prohibitive for many people, so there likely will be a black and white version available, too.
Trying to Help People
From 'Trying to Help People': "Personally, I am on a journey of discovery when I compose a poem. I rarely have a plan or any idea what the finished product will look like. Often a bit of conversation, something I've heard on the radio or read in a newspaper will set me off on that voyage of discovery. ... As far as the title goes, I've always liked the turn of thought from such sayings as, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' Trying to help people is not only an exercise in futility; it is likely to get you in trouble. Yet there are those of us who have the audacity to make the attempt and the effrontery to expect such efforts to be appreciated."
Design Your Own Book: Get Started on Your Journey to Self-Publishing
You've done it!You've finished your novel (or memoir, or how-to, or poetry collection, etc.).Sit back. Breathe a sigh, take a drink, light a cigar.You've done it!Now what?Usually, an author is so exhilarated by finishing a book that he or she doesn't really think about what's next.Sure, there are those dreams of every publisher knocking at your door, starting a bidding war for your manuscript and your book becoming a best-seller over night.And that can happen. It does occasionally, but more often the hard work still is to come.This book is not for those authors who get an agent who gets them editors who convince their publishers to publish their books.This book is for those intrepid souls who decide the only way to maintain control over their books -- and/or to make more money per book than with a traditional publisher -- is to self-publish.
Phenomenal Stories Quarterly, Vol. 1, No. 1, Winter 2018
I have collected many, many pulps over the years, but at the back of my mind, I always hoped to edit one.My first job, as editor of two trade newspapers, deluded me. I created a presentation and went to the publisher. He listened, but he never spoke about it.I worked at many newspapers and magazines, but no one was interested.I founded a few magazines: The Antediluvian Levee, The Game's Afoot, Different Deaths, Ride of the Horsemen, etc. I then tried to start the kind of magazine you hold. It didn't work then, though. I just didn't have time to do it.Finally, in late 2018, I started working on it, pulling writers and artists together, doing some preliminary designs, etc. The first few issues came together so fast that I pressed on. I didn't hesitate, but got the first issue into print as soon as possible.This book is a collection of nearly everything that appeared in the four issues of Phenomenal Stories, Volume 1. There's also a best of collection magazine titled Lost Carcosa available.
