Dear
readers,
When
we created www.AislingEyeBooks.com, we signed up with Google Adsense
with the sole intention of providing some (very minor) revenue
through web advertising. In setting up our account, we limited
our criteria for ad content to the literary world of publishing,
reading, and book selling.
Or
so we thought.
Last
night, we were all stunned and appalled to find, on our own website,
multiple ads supportive of California's PROPOSITION 8. We don't
know how such ads found their way to our site, and we're suspending
our Google Adsense account until further notice.
All
of us at Aisling Eye Books wholeheartedly oppose Proposition
8. We feel it is discriminatory, hateful, and deserves no place
in Californian law...or anywhere else, for that matter.

ALMOST
THERE!
We're
almost done reviewing all the short stories submitted to us for
our
first THROUGH
AN AISLING EYE collection. This took us a considerable
amount of time (sorry!), as we felt it was only fair to read each
and every one before making any decisions.
We
will be sending out our responses via USPS mail by the end of
November. Unfortunately, our original submission forms didn't
provide a space for writers to include their email addresses (a
big, stupid oversight on our part), so if you would like to receive
an email reply instead, let
us know.

DEADLINE'S
PASSED!
We wish to thank everyone who sent us their short stories for
our first THROUGH
AN AISLING EYE collection, an anthology of offbeat, humorous,
and satirical works. At least we hope they will be.
We're
now in the process of reviewing submissions, and promise to respond
to each and every one. The selections should be decided by November.
Feel free to email
us with any questions in the meantime.
Here
is a tentative mockup of the cover. You movie fans should know
what the center photo is a spin of. (Surprisingly, this famous
film is now in the public domain... so we won't have to worry
about getting sued!)
We
will be planning a second volume in the months ahead -- an anthology
of horror and suspense stories -- so check back with us once in
a while for updates!

Due to some scheduling conflicts, the
release of THE BROTHERHOOD AND THE SHIELD: THE THREE THORNS
has now been pushed. Author Mike Gibney has been dealing with some
business in his native Northern Ireland that, unfortunately, has
delayed his return to the United States.
The
book itself is coming along beautifully, but Mike wants to personally
supervise the layout and the printing process. We fully respect
his wishes, and are happy to honor them.
We
are in the process of scheduling book signings, and will post
up to date information on our EVENTS
page.
