Kiwi SF Anthology

Random Static is pleased to announce that we will be publishing an anthology of science fiction and fantasy by New Zealand writers. The anthology, with the working title "A Foreign Country: New Zealand Speculative Fiction", will contain new fiction by both established authors and new talent.

We are running a short story competition for the anthology in association with Au Contraire, the National SF/F Convention. Details are available here; note that membership of the convention is not required to enter. The book will be launched at Au Contraire in August 2010.

NB This is not necessarily the next book we'll be publishing; the open submissions policy means it's being announced much earlier in development than usual.

Newtons Sleep E-Book and other news

We have decided to release Newtons Sleep in e-book form. The new online edition can be downloaded here at no charge. The Faction Paradox branding is absent from this edition, since it seems to provide an unhelpful distraction to readers unfamiliar with the series, as indicated by reviews that spend more time on the origins of the series than evaluating the book itself. We think the book stands up perfectly well as an SF novel in its own right, with no prior knowledge of the Faction mythos.

Other recent additions to the site include Words From Nine Divinities, the fourth volume in Magic Bullet's Faction Paradox audio series, and Magical Internet, a Vostok Lake side project.

Arriving later in the year will be Wanting to Believe, a guide to the X-Files from Mad Norwegian Press, and Small Group Psychosis, the long-awaited CD from Vostok Lake. There should also be more from the Faction Paradox universe - stay tuned.

Website Revamp

As you can see (if you've visited the site before!) this website has undergone extensive renovation. The main change is the addition of a full online store, allowing the purchase of all Random Static titles as well as imports. New Zealand customers can now purchase Mad Norwegian Press and Magic Bullet releases from us, including the Faction Paradox series.

Please do let us know if you come across any problems while using the new site. It's highly unlikely we've managed to iron out every possible glitch.
