Market News: Journey to the Depths in Anemone Enemy anthology

Journey to the Depths Cover

I am very much pleased to have my flash fiction piece, Journey to the Depths, included in Oscillate Wildly Press’ anthology, Anemone Enemy, edited by Claire Fitzpatrick. The anthology is a horror-themed collection of flash fiction stories associated with the sea – something I can’t resist. I have wonderful writers sharing the TOC with me, including Deborah Sheldon and Lee Pletzers.

Do yourself a favour and purchase this lovely book.

Market News: Flash Fiction Story, Journey to the Depths, Included in Oscillate Wildly Press antho.

Pleased that my maritime flash piece, Journey to the Depths, was accepted for the Anemone Enemy anthology, to be published by Oscillate WIldly Press. I love writing ghost stories and so this was a pleasure to write – and as always, a little tougher to work through for sub 500 word fiction. Looking forward to seeing it in print.

Market News: Flash Fiction Story, Roland’s Merry Christmas, Included in AHWA Anthology, Hell’s Bells

It is with pleasure that my flash fiction piece, Roland's Merry Christmas, is included with a wonderful group of flash fiction stories by notable and excellent writers – all of whom (myself included) are members of the Australian Horror Writers Association. The theme can easily be determined from the cover:

It is available in ebook format through Amazon and Smashwords.

Market News: ‘Of The Color Turmeric, Climbing On Fingertips’ and ‘Hills’ sold.

Extremely pleased to have 'Of The Color Turmeric, Climbing On Fingertips' sold to Night Terrors III anthology, a pro market by Blood Bound Books. The anthology will be published in 2014. This is my first pro sale, and things can only get better from here, now that I have reached that milestone.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all my friends, online and otherwise, who strongly supported and believed in me, including me in their writing communities, and often in publications, representing faith in my writing. They far outweigh those who didn't. This sale is a validation of my friends' faith.

Additionally, a dark, humorous flash fiction piece, 'Hills', has been accepted by AntipodeanSF – which is a bit of a rite of passage in Australia, again a validation. This short piece will be published in issue 185 in November 2013, and shortly thereafter I will read my piece for radio/podcast. Something I look forward to.

All in all I am very pleased. Three significant market acceptances in 1 month, continuing my 1+ acceptance per month rate for the last 3 years.
