A new rejection

This one was from Crossed Genres on my zombies in space submission "Nothing Left to Salvage." On the good side of things, they told me it had short listed for the issue and they'd like to see more stuff from me in the future.

Too bad I can't submit it to Apex Magazine. It's right up their alley. Ah, well. The price of being a submissions editor.

Invites are out!

Invitations to CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE URBAN KIND are out. If you have not received yours and you think you should have (IE: we talked about you having one or you are kick-ass published pro author that I haven't met) and have not yet, ping me in message or in email. Thanks.

Ravens in the Library anthology

I'm not done with it yet. I'm savoring each story as I get a chance to read something I -want- to read. This is an absolutely fabulous anthology. I have loved every story so far but two have stood out. Both of them made me cry (in a good way) for different reasons:

King of Crows by Midori Synder and Pipsqueak by Angel Leigh McCoy.

Seriously, if you have not bought and read Ravens in the Library, you are missing out. I have only nine stories left to go and I'm hoarding them like my favorite pieces of candy.
