Hello from Jonathan Ball

Back in the Saddle of Evil

Hello, Reader!

I'm back in the saddle of evil.

I keep saying this, hoping it will catch on. This time it's me, Jonathan, back after Lyndon's hijacking of the newsletter.

Although maybe I shouldn't be! Lyndon's been doing a better job than me lately...

A few things I wanted to tell you. First of all:

Me, Myself, and Stranger Fiction will be at the Fireside Book Market TOMORROW (December 3).

All the info is on this handy poster created by event creator, GMB Chomichuk.

Many authors, many publishers, many books! It will be a great come-and-go event. I will be there until they ask me to leave, so come by and say hi!

The Shared World launch went well!

Thank you for coming, if you came, or watching online if you did.

If you missed out, you can watch the replay here.

And of course, you can still get signed books at the above-noted book market, or directly from the Stranger Fiction store.

I've been analyzing films on the podcast lately.

Tune in wherever you get podcasts for deep dives on the following films:

  • Galaxy Quest
  • Inception
  • Jack and Jill
  • Parasite
  • Pineapple Express
  • The Witch

You can also check out the website, where we also publish podcasts, but the best thing to do is subscribe wherever your podcasts get podcasted into your podcast machine.

Hope to see you tomorrow at the book market!

Stay strange,

Jonathan

Hello from Jonathan Ball The Princess and the Dragon Hello, Reader! We're making a movie! Last year, GMB Chomichuk and I sold the film rights to our story "The Princess and the Dragon" to an intrepid crew of filmmakers and began a journey to make a movie! This week, we go into production. Wish us luck! I will have more to report when I have more to report. Suffice it to say, things have been hectic and busy lately, since this is not the only thing going on. Exciting times! 2024 promises to be...

Hello from Jonathan Ball We hit McNally's bestseller list! Hello, Reader! Stranger Fiction has TWO books on McNally's bestseller list this week! Of course, this is thanks to all of YOU! It's not uncommon to hit McNally's list if you have a well-attended launch. However, I still wasn't expecting us to hit it due to how we were launching two books. I thought people would buy one of the two and split the sales and dilute them in that way. But those of you who showed up really showed your...

Hello from Jonathan Ball Strange Ink #6 Hello, Reader! Please join me at McNally Robinson on Nov. 29 at 7 pm for a double book launch! If you won't be in Winnipeg, or can't make it out that night, you can watch the simultaneous YouTube stream here. Bookmark it now! Although Stranger Fiction (and its precursor company, Martian Embassy Media) has published other books (most notably, GMB Chomichuk's Moon Patrol comic), this is our first substantial foray into prose fiction. I know what you're...
