Phantacea Publications enters its 35th YearUnmindful of whomever or whatever they trample beneath their mountainous feet, by far the mightiest of the Inner Earth's Shining Ones turn on each other unrelentingly.Nearly 500 years of goodwill left over from the declaration of Panharmonium dissipates with calamitous rapidity. Perhaps unfairly, those who've worshipped them for thousands of years promptly begin losing faith in all their devil-gods. Yet the Dead don’t stay dead. They rise, disbelievers no longer. They battle on, their newly puissant goddess to exalt the higher. Come All-Death Day more Dead Things are marching than Living Beings are breathing, let alone fighting back. Fecundity no longer, the Vampire Queen of the Dead looks to rule the world – both sides of it!... the 10-second synopsis to

If they're not, kindly direct local librarians and neighbourhood booksellers to www.phantacea.com in order to start rectifying that sad situation. Either that or, if you're feeling even more proactive, click here, copy the link, paste it into an email and send it to them, along with everyone else you reckon could use a double dose of anheroic fantasy. It will certainly be appreciated. Help build the buzz. The more books sell, the faster the PHANTACEA Mythos spreads. |

Individual copies of Libraries, bookstores and bookseller collectives can place bulk orders through Ingram Books, Ingram International, Baker & Taylor, Coutts Information Services, and a large number of other distributors worldwide. E-books for Kindle, Kindle Fire, I-pad, I-phone and other applications can be ordered through amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and other amazon affiliates worldwide. An interactive e-book containing the entirety of BookFinder.com lists the latest releases from Phantacea Publications along with a goodly number of additional booksellers carrying them. Also listed therein are almost all of the PHANTACEA Mythos print and e-publications, including the graphic novel and some of the comic books. Another interesting option for the curious is Chegg, which has a rent-a-book program. Thus far its search engine shows no results for phantacea (any style or permutation thereof) but it does recognize Jim McPherson (a variety of them) and the titles of many releases from Phantacea Publications. As for the Whole Earth (other than the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, at least as far as I can say and always assuming it's still around in what be its 61st century), well, this page contains a list of a few other websites where you can probably order the novels in a variety of currencies and with credit cards. Of course you can always email or send me your order(s) via surface mail. No matter where you live or what currency you prefer to use, I'll figure out a way to fill your order(s) myself. Just be aware that I can only accept certified cheques or money orders. Plus, I'll have to charge an additional 12% to cover Canadian and provincial goods and sales taxes as well as Canada Post rates for shipping. I do use bubble mailers, though. |

Help build the buzz!Greetings. Welcome or welcome back.
The Kindle-version of To order any of the other PHANTACEA Mythos print publications that are still available, including returned copies of PHANTACEA #1, click here or here. If you're ordering from me, I decided not to incur the cost of trying to set up an online payment system since they seem to benefit the intermediary more so than the publisher. That means certified cheques or money orders only please. And that in turn means stamps, an envelope and a trip to either the bank or the post office. Sorry for any inconvenience. Next door is the usual Hestia Housekeeping subsection of 'pHpubs'. Contact me at jmcp@phantacea.com Feel free to ask any questions you might have regarding PHANTACEA. I'll do my best to answer them either directly or right here in 'pHpubs'. Top of Page - Top of Hestia - On to Mosaic Novels - On to Today's Topic |
Hestia Housekeeping| What's New Intro | Latest overview of a PHANTACEA print publication | Today's Topic | Elsewhere (phantacea.com, Travels Website, Serendipity Now) | Conclusion | Top of Page - Carry on with Hestia - On to Today's TopicHestia Housekeeping amounts to the 'What's New' section of pHpubs. Consequently I always start it with a 'What's Old' link to where I put its previous update. Now that that's done, we can get on with this edition's preview -- and it's a biggie. Well, not a biggie in terms of life-shattering. And, other than to me, I suppose Phantacea Publications entering its 35th Year isn't such a big deal either, though I am somewhat stunned I'm still at it. Happy I am, however, and it's primarily because I've just published Like its predecessors, Also like Hellion and Contagion, I did it all myself, cover included. As promised last time, plenty of details re the images that went into it are now online. It's not an image map per se -- and it's not here -- but it is here. I won't be doing the cover for He also did all the artwork for pH-6, including the revised, but never used, cover reprinted here and here. (Gambit is in good measure derived from the Soldier's Saga, which began in pH-2. A preview of its Auctorial Prefatory starts here.) For fans of the cover I prepared for 2005's version of essentially the same saga, aka "The Trigregos Gambit", fear not. I like it, too. If that suggests there will be a black and white version of it in the print version, and a colour version in the inevitable e-book that comes later, consider that one suggestion taken. As for what else is new in pH-Webworld's Autumn 2011 update, well, how about something that isn't at all new, yet is in terms of pH-Webworld? By that I'm referring to the two teasers, one for Fangers, the other for Gambit, that I prepared for www.phantacea.com. They're here and here. As for something that is all new, and in terms of not only pH-Webworld but of the worldwide web in general, how about its own URL? As you've already noted, assuming you've been to phantacea Online before, gone is that cumbersome home_Dot_istar stuff. In its place is www.phantacea.info Considering what pH-Webworld has always been about, it seems a natural fit. Illustrated Mini-Essays on PHANTACEA Characters and Concepts, Online Serials, Synopses, Web Publisher's Commentaries going back to 1996, and more background information than you can shake a currently non-existent search engine at. Just surprised it took me so long to switch over. Top of Page - Top of Hestia - Restart Preview - On to TopicShould mention that the 'Travels in my Pants' (TIMP) web pages are not, as has been alleged, a porn site. As noted previously, I have nevertheless changed the lynx at the bottom of these pages to read Travels. Will further say that its main menu page is still here and that its latest entry's entitled 'The Wonderful Weather Wizard of Oz'. It's a howsoever belated, not to mention incomplete, effort to begin a travelogue on the trip I took to Australia in the Spring of 2011 (Oz's fall). Not at all scandalous scads more in the way of new material -- new material specifically prepared for the PHANTACEA Mythos, I should emphasize -- can be found on www.phantacea.com. Its main menu is here. The latest photo essays are here and here whereas the webpage entirely dedicated to 'Feel Theo', the first PHANTACEA Mythos print publication since 1990's graphic novel, is here, the one for 'War-Pox' its successor, though not its sequel, is here, and the one for its sequel, '1000-Daze', starts here. Top of Page - Top of Hestia - Restart Preview - On to TopicOf some interest to pHant-fans, had some correspondence recently with, as I'm happy to hope, if not outright confirm, one of you. Although I don't how long it'll stay up, the result is here: http://comicattack.net/2011/12/is-36-phantacea-1-2/ And, as if all the above wasn't already enough, I dipped into the archives for a few photos I've never put up before. A couple that come to mind are the Sedonic Eye-Card and an old promo for the Phantacea Phase One project, more on both of which are here. Somewhat similar is the handout I prepared to announce Gambit's imminent arrival. In case you missed it, it's here. Less savoury are a couple of Demon Queen Lilith likenesses. They're not here, though a new entry re Anti-Patriarch Cain's mom -- an unsighted, but very much pivotal player in Hellion -- is here. They are here and here, however. There's some tasty new material in Serendipity Now. A couple of them are even linked in the Notes on Graphics section. Do help build the buzz.

Sites with Loads of Graphics:Google.ca supplies what amounts to a pH-Webworld web gallery. Just go to http://www.google.ca/, hit the images link and type in PHANTACEA. Pasting into the address area of your browser the following Url might work as well: http://images.google.ca/images?q=phantacea&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=100&sa=N&filter=0 PHANTACEA on the Web is chock-a-block with visuals. Good places to ogle artwork from the comic books and graphic novel are One to Six, 'Twenty-Five Years Plus' and what began as 'The Genesis of PHANTACEA' web-page. Most of the other graphics are scans I did of my own photographs or material I put together using PHOTOSHOP. All the essays are loaded with images. Try out the framed version of the Main Menu. You won't go anywhere else but, then again, you won't get lost either.
