The NULL IMMORTALIS book (the final Nemonymous) is now here in tangible form. If I say so myself, it looks lovely. The official publication date: today 29 June 2010.  Twenty-six stories by your favourite authors. | ||

That's a beautiful sight to behold, Des. I've just done the PayPal thingy - and asked you to sign it for me too of course. I'll have a complete set of signed nemos then - except you never signed the sixth for me (or did you sign it in invisible ink?)  | ||

What a whopper! Can't wait for mine, Des! | ||

I'm afraid it's too late, Tony, as I sent it today.  Well today's 29 June 2010 - publication date - and, everyone, please remember when reading it, it is a 'Retrocausal Epitaph for Secret Synchronicity'. | ||

Got it! Hey - that's my highest payment ever, Des! A real psychological boost. As was seeing the story in print. I'm dead happy with it and feel a bit more like a writer than I did this morning. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.23.20.11 |
Chuffed for you, Tony. I'll read your tale and let you know what I think. | ||
| Gary Fry (Gary_fry) Username: Gary_fry Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.23.20.11 |
Thanks, Des! Just got my copy and cheque. Now to blow it all on mineral water and pornography! | ||

What, are you buying a Boris Evian novel? | ||

'Just got my copy and cheque. Now to blow it all on mineral water and pornography!' - or like me, the reparation of my mum's bannister. Thanks, Gary! | ||

> What, are you buying a Boris Evian novel? Sparkling wit, Joel! The other day I went into a supermarket and saw a bottle of "Still Water" and my first thought was: what is it going to turn into? | ||

PLEASE NOTE: No promises, but it is a current idle thought of the Nemonymous editor/publisher, at some unknown point in the future, retrocausally to produce a hard copy replacement or alternative for NEMONYMOUS SIX. | ||
| Steve Bacon (Stevebacon) Username: Stevebacon Registered: 09-2008 Posted From: 90.204.111.249 |
Somehow I get the feeling that Nemonymous Six was meant to be released after the final ever one. This is all part of the masterplan of D F Lewis. I bet the stories have already been selected (from the future). All Des needs to do to avoid a paradox, is to convince the writers to produce the tales and submit them. | ||
| Des (Des) Username: Des Registered: 06-2008 Posted From: 81.153.251.53 |
Steve, when all the writers mentioned HERE have offered me a new story, it is then possible that I will start considering seriously the publication of a retrocausal NEMONYMOUS SIX, i.e. those stories together with other stories that I shall invite for appearance from among previously Nemonymous-published writers. | ||

Hey folks - Des has started reviewing the book! http://weirdmonger.blog-city.com/null_immortalis__a_realtime_review.htm I miss Des, you buggers. | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.170.179.157 |
As has someone else; http://matthewfryer.com/2010/07/23/null-immortalis-nemonymous-ten/ I still don't feel like I've been in it. It all feels unreal. | ||
| Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 82.38.75.85 |
As Des says about "The Shell", Tony (and I agree with him): "I wonder if the author appreciates quite how stunning." You've certainly been in it, Tony - no doubt about that! I've been wanting to put something together to say here about Null Immortalis, but I just can't find the words. No matter what I was to say about it, it just wouldn't be enough. I don't think I have the vocabulary to express the impact these stories have had on me. I'll say just one thing - this book really MUST win awards. It's the most amazing anthology I've ever read. | ||
| Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.170.179.157 |
It's funny but he mentions naivety. I do struggle to achieve that quality, try and write like I'm writing some mystic Nancy Drew kind of book. Thanks, Caroline! | ||

I am disappointed this book has not had many reviews. But the few it's had have been great. | ||
| Carolinec (Carolinec) Username: Carolinec Registered: 06-2009 Posted From: 82.38.75.85 |
I'm not good with reviews - and I don't have a website to review it on anyway - but I stand by my comments above: "I've been wanting to put something together to say here about Null Immortalis, but I just can't find the words.
