Market News: The Place Where Two Eagles Meet

Pleased to say that I have sold my short story, The Place Where Two Eagles Meet, to Cover of Darkness magazine. This is a good result for two reasons – firstly, the story is very cross genre (semi steampunk, historical and contemporary, scifi, fantasy, horror) and it was difficult to find the right market – Cover of Darkness is horror, but they recognized the chilling aspects to it and snapped it up fairly quickly. Secondly, I gave myself a personal target of 15 sales this year, and this is number 15! A good result, and in the nick of time.

Market News: Dark Fantasy, Ginger Fred, The Pavement Artist, published in Ticon4

Glad to have published Ginger Fred, The Pavement Artist in Ticon4, a very good speculative fiction ezine run by Ticonderoga Publishing. This story is quintessentially Australian in flavour and needed to be published by an Australian publisher, so this is a great result for me.

By all means, visit the site and read my story.

Appointed Judge for ASA

Very pleased to have been appointed one of a small team of judges for long fiction (novels and novellas) for the Australian Shadows Awards 2012 (that is, work published in 2012, short lists and awards given in 2013), run by the Australian Horror Writers Association, which I am a member of.

For me this quite a commitment, but it is also a part of my journey to be recognized as a serious writer and (in this case) a serious participant in genre publishing. This will also be fun.

Here is the link to the announcement, which in turn has the link to the actual judges.
