Very excited to announce the newest publication from our micropress 1000Volt Press is out today! Pagan Roots: Reclaiming Concepts of the Sacred by Yvonne Aburrow.

“Fascinated by the etymology of words and the history of ideas, Yvonne Aburrow has set out to disentangle Pagan spirituality from ideas that do not serve the needs of Pagans, and to reclaim religious concepts that have been rejected.”

Cover of Pagan Roots by Yvonne Aburrow featuring an impressionistic painting by Lydia Knox of a tree with exposed roots and a leafy canopy with mountains in the distance.

From Skip Rhudy: I’ve got a post-graduate certificate in artificial intelligence (AI). I’m also an author, and I believe writers and publishers should not use #AI in publishing. ... But the reasons I oppose using AI are not the usual ones you hear.

Beloved Tor editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden once wrote about interviewing candidates for publishing jobs. If they could spell "accommodate," they might make good copy editors.

Decades ago, after fumbling it myself, I asked 30 other experts how to spell the word. All my fellow marketing writers plus managers, editors, tech writers, etc., in the corporate communications office where I worked. Only 1 person — a lowly (but beloved) typist — got it right.

I'm bothered by Amazon's recent change to prevent users from downloading books they've paid for, locking them into using Kindle devices.

As an author, it also bothers me that Amazon is the store people prefer to buy my books from.

Personally, I would suggest buying my work from Smashwords, which gives you a simple download in EPUB format, with no DRM.

Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open

From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

alexhead.com/bookstore

In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. 

Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. 

Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.

There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!

Released first on #Mastodon

Dispatched April-May.

Cover and reverse cover of 1001 Accurate Memories book project by artist Alex Head, on Plural Studio (2025). The Image shows a blurred black and white image of a grinning face turning towards the left hand spine of the front cover of the book. One can also see five distinct hexagons of red, blue and yellow tones arranged to the right of the cover image. The Image also shows the same blurred black and white image from the front cover of the book, now on the back cover. However where the descriptive text would usually be presented on the back of the book a large black rectangle has replaced it save for the caption: From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

If you don't know much about Judy-Lynn del Rey and her influence on fantasy and science fiction, I encourage you to take a few moments to read this article. I didn't know much about her, and I found this quite interesting.

"First edition books, original watercolours, and letters from the Danish author whose fairy tales have permeated culture and been adapted into some of the most popular Disney properties"

Tell me you have no soul...

Oh, and since you're all going to make OH SO MUCH money, you can with impunity forget good punctuation, and misspell the mark's name.

Ah welp. I accidentally sent the literary agent the #Romance novella I penned of John and Jane Mastodon and now he wants to try to get someone to publish it, now everyone will think I can't come up with names of towns since my town is called ActivityPub. LOL! I meant to send him a different novella and just leave this one in a folder for later serial publishing on my website but there you go, I guess!

For the non-romance readers, it's a Romance novel. Tropes, a HEA, on page smut, and a plot.

He also said, "more women in firefighter positions please! This was fantastic, but one small detail. John Mastodon randomly changes ages throughout the book but we can fix that in editing."
