Black History Month Special

I am working on a post in regards to Black history month, I just need to find the right words. In the mean time, I running a special all month on my "High John the Conqueror" ebook. You can download it now for only $1.99! If you have not had a chance to check out this book, then now is the time to do it.

Call for Submissions — “Osculum Infame: Transgressive Rites and Rituals”

Osculum Infame: Transgressive Rites and Rituals will be an eBook exploring rite and ritual as transgressive art.  It will be published on Smashwords in the Summer of 2013.

We are looking primarily for practical articles describing new and original rites and rituals that cross barriers and challenge social norms.  Although the bulk of the book will be made up of practical working material, we will consider articles relating to historically significant rites, philosophical discussions on the nature or significance of transgression, and first person accounts of actual rites and rituals. Original artwork will also be accepted for consideration.

Shock value alone will not win us over.  The shock must be the lightning strike that ignites the forest, the bell that calls transformation, the knock that opens the door, the howl that signals change.

Submission Deadline: May 1st, 2013

Length: 2,000 to 5,000 words.  Please append a brief biography of no more than 125 words, including the highlights of your publishing history if any, a link to your blog or website, etc.
