I woke up this morning and didn’t realize I had closed my mail client at some point in my sleepy haze (anyone who spends enough time with me takes on average 4 hours to get out of. I’m not that much of a morning person). When I did, one of the greatest emails was waiting for me.
The acceptance of “January” for the Dead Bells anthology by Library of Horror Press!
My goal for at least one sale this year was met. Next year is two (meanwhile what me fail around like maniac trying to work on something like 32 submissions, haha). Now it’s just down to working with the wonderful Jodi Lee on what edits she suggests.
Let’s just say, today I have been really giddy!
In other news, I’m shelving Scavenger. After a lot of debate with myself and a great correspondence with friend and mentor, Mike Arnzen, I decided that, to do the book justice, it needs to be completely rewritten after I have been able to detach from it completely. So, for NaNo, I’m going to do a number of flash piece, short stories, chap books, and possible an old novella idea or two. All of which will be set in my fictional town of Lucin City. After that, I’m probably going to work on the first of my Rock ‘n’ Roll themed books. Hopefully, during that time, I can get a hold of one of the local roller derby teams here and get the research I need for the book after Scavenger.
Check back, as soon as I get more information on Dead Bells, I’ll post it here.
Next part teaser: Find out how one person has changed my life.
A big yeah for you!
Thank you, Chris! I’m really happy, I pushed myself on this story and it was the one story, this year, I think I had the most attachment to. The choices I made in here were the first ones I made that really chilled me and I think it paid off in the end.
Yay, we’re in the same anthology again!
Woohoo! You and Jodi are like my good luck charms or something. The three need some sort of catchy name at some point that we can refer to when ever all of us are involved.
Congrats, hun! I really am so so happy for you!!! ((hugs!))
Aw, thanks Jezzy! *hugs* And so you know, no ferrets were harmed in the making of this story.
Congrats, Will!
Thanks, Louise! Let me know how well your Dom promotion works, I thought I could try something similar, only dress up in a bondage bunny costume snaking on some Smarties. Haha!
