Yay, acceptances!

Yes, that's right, acceptances, plural! The 's' is not a typo! It has been a good week.







A short story I wrote, called "Special" has been selected for the forthcoming Bloodbound Books anthology, Rock is Dead: Dark Tales inspired by Music.











I also had a poem accepted by Sam's Dot Publishing for their magazine for young people, Beyond Centauri. The poem is called "Be smart, be tough, be lucky", and will feature in the October 2010 issue.






Don't forget you can pre-order Stitched Up!, the anthology from House of Horror which will feature one of my stories, White Christmas, a tale of zombies crashing the holiday season!


At present the price is just £9.99 including shipping from House of Horror bookshop - but next Tuesday the free shipping offer will be gone, so get yours now! If you order this anthology, please mention my name while ordering as I get additional royalties if you do so.







So, overall it has been a good week for writing - two acceptances, and I've been quite prolific. Here's hoping it continues, on both counts!

Congratulations! Looks like you are on a roll now.

Thank you! :-) It certainly feels good to receive a few "yes" emails alongside the slew of "no" ones!

Awesome!

TBH, you and @TrudiCanavan make me want to take up a pen and start writing.. you'll be the first to know.

Thank you! :-)

You should totally go for it! I'd read your stuff anyway ;-)
