2012 Anthology series information leaks
(09/04/2011)

Engen Books plans the next leg of it's in-Universe publishing schedule to be released this April, with the publication of an as-yet unnamed anthology collection with stories taking place within the Engen Universe of stories containing the Black Womb series, Infintiy, and Compendium.

The anthology will feature many stories taking place throughout the Engen Universe, both with established characters and new ones.

Engen author Matthew LeDrew commented on his blog on September 2nd that he will be writing at least three stories for the collection, and that writing the shorts has opened up some new doors for him.

" Sometimes when I'm writing a short it's less about story and more about atmosphere, which isn't the way I normally approach things," said LeDrew. "I'm usually of the mind that character, above all else, comes first; then plot, and then wherever the chips may fall. But as I write more and more short fiction I'm learning that these rules are often very different between the two."

In addition to LeDrew, fellow Engen author Ellen Curtis is said to be contributing a tale of her own, as well as Ink'd Well Comics creator Jay Paulin. Other authors are pending, with both newcomers and established authors being rumored to be attached to the project.

"Until the ink is dry, I'm not saying anything," said LeDrew. "But I think it's going to be a lot of fun."

The next Engen-Universe release is Inner Child, the eighth book in the Black Womb series, to be released this November at the second-annual Hal-Con.
