So some updates. One, the Steampunk Tales iPhone app has just gone live with Issue One. It has my pulp adventure story "The Mask of Tezcatlipoca", which is filled with action, adventure, wit, gunfire, romance, and a car. So really, there's a little something for everyone. Especially people who like cars. So check it out: http://www.steampunktales.com/issue_1.html

Also, I have been picked up to do a full-length Cities of Ether novel. It is being represented by Dystel & Goderich Literary Management: http://www.dystel.com/

More updates as they occur.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am proud to announce that my short story "In the Footsteps of Giants" has been selected to appear in the anthology Footprints, edited by Jay Lake and Eric Reynolds. More information can be found here: http://ericreynolds.livejournal.com/52797.html

Naturally I am very happy to be a part of this.

As some of you may have noticed I have been getting a certain amount of attention in the steampunk subculture (it's only one of the genres I write for, but I suppose this is what I get for studying 19th century technology). Well, MTV has seen the wisdom in covering the subculture (and on the whole I think they do a very good job). You may notice someone familiar in the video:



And in the accompanying article:

As you may have guessed, I'm very excited!

So I have a website now. I will be using it to post updates on my writing and events I will be attending. Expect it to become more complex in due time:

The following excerpts are from Part One of my steampunk and pulp-noir serial The Strange Case of the All-Seeing Ear, being published by The Willows Magazine. The serial begins with January's issue, and continues for the entire year. You can find more information about me at my Myspace page, and you can contact me with questions at gdfalksen@gmail.com.
Enjoy:

In the rain-washed darkness, the thing that had lately been a man stared blindly into the invisible sky. All concept of pain had vanished, perhaps along with the sensation itself, and now sanity remained as tenuous as life. Though hearing had vanished, the creature’s very body still sensed the dreadful siren song that had bound him to that place, and even now the echoes of the monstrous noise kept his limbs as numb as stone. He fought to cry out, or at least to make a sound, but nothing more than a dull rasping cough escaped his lips. He could no longer feel the dripping of water that had washed his broken body clean, and a terrible feeling of vertigo drove shudders along his spine.

In the rain-washed darkness, the thing that had lately been a man stared blindly into the invisible sky, and died.

More tantalizing tidbits here.... )

“Heaven’s!” he cried in horror. “Heaven’s Beyond! His skin! What’s happened to his skin?

Just a brief message to let everyone know that I was quoted (somewhat extensively) in the San Francisco Chronicle. You can find the article online at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/06/LVL211GOO2.DTL

I'm very excited about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, in case you haven't heard, my new serial, The Strange Case of the All-Seeing Ear, has been picked up by The Willows Magazine. The All-Seeing Ear is an occult murder mystery that takes place in my Ether setting, a dark steampunk and pulp-noir world of fantastical technologies, dramatic social tensions, political intrigue, arcane mysteries, and of course malevolent ancients from before the time of man.

Part One of the serial can be found in the January Issue of The Willows. Go on and take a look: I think you'll all like what you see.

Further updates of this nature can be found here, on my social journal ([info]squirrelmadness), and on Myspace.
