Market News: The Cutpurse From Mulberry Bend to be published in The Best of Penny Dread Tales

I am chuffed to have my steampunk piece, 'The Cutpurse From Mulberry Bend' – which was first published in Penny Dread Tales III: In Darkness Clockwork Shine – accepted for The Best of Penny Dread Tales. This anthology grabs the best steampunk stories from four volumes of Penny Dread Tales, which is a nice compliment. I believe this new anthology will be released in a few months, and will be published by Wordfire Press, via Runewright, and edited by Christopher Ficco.

News: ‘The Crab Woman’ to be published in Our World of Horror anthology

Happy to announce that my short story, 'The Crab Woman', was an early acceptance to the Eldritch Press pro horror anthology, Our World of Horror. The partial TOC will be announced by Eldritch Press in a few days.

Aside from being a pro sale, I am over the moon to see this story getting accepted. It was sold on first submission, which is a nice hit rate, and I had the great pleasure of having Kaaron Warren be my beta reader on this–her time spent on it, and the valuable feedback, was integral to this story, set on in the island nation of  Vanuatu, being as polished as it is. Kaaron is a very generous writer.

Market News: Cover Reveal for Guardian of the Sky Realms

I can't tell you how happy I am. My 'all ages' novel, Guardian of the Sky Realms, is going to be published by Cohesion Press, a great independent publishing house based in Australia, and it will be released exactly the way I wanted it to. Australian English, quality editing, quality internal block and cover.

Yes, the cover. High quality and symbolically representative of many elements of the novel – the Sky Realms, the barren lands below, and the idyllic, transformed state that Maree will find herself in. It appropriately leaves bits out.

Thanks to Cohesion Press (Geoff Brown), and the amazing talent of professional digital artist, Dean Samed, who created the cover.

Enjoy, and stay tuned for the third quarter 2014 for the release of Guardian of the Sky Realms.

Pleased to see a print home for my reprint novelette, 'The Curious Case of the Frozen Revenant', in the soon-to-be published anthology, Penny Dread Tales Volume IV: Perfidious and Paranormal Punkery of Steam (Runewright, ed Christopher Ficco). I've long had a long association with the publisher, and have been fortunate to have a short story or novelette published in each of the Penny Dread Tales anthologies. I expect the title to be released in coming weeks.

Market News: short story, Crazy Mike McCloud to be published in Railroad! Celebration Station 2014

Very pleased to work with Tonia Brown and her long-lived Railroad! serial/series. Since last year she has an interlude and looks to put artistic work out in her blog site for each of 31 days. I had a 3 part serial novelette last year, and this year she has accepted my Weird Western piece, Crazy Mike McCloud, which is a bit of a fairytale put on its head. Say no more. It will be published soon, so stay tuned!

Market News: short story, ‘Husks’, accepted by Sword and Sorcery Magazine

While I write a lot of horror/dark fantasy, and my greatest success seems to be in the science fiction field, I still get a kick out of epic/high/heroic fantasy. I've sold a few, but not as many as I would like. Today I sold 'Husks', an Evyntyde story, featuring Myleana, newly appointed second-in-charge to the King's Astrologer, Grisbier. She is powerful, insightful, resourceful, but she has a fatal weakness. This story determines whether she overcomes it, or succumbs.

I believe the story will be published in only a matter of days.

Market News: Enryk’s Trouble published in Frost Fire Worlds Issue 3

Pleased to have my fantasy story, Enryk's Trouble, published in the February issue of Frost Fire Worlds. This is another Evyntyde story, set during the older Waymoorian years. It makes a statement about gender roles. Also nice to have my name on the cover. If you want to purchase it, go to the publisher's web site.

News: Sale of ‘Darkness in the Mountain of Light’ short story

I already have a reprint, 'The Sea Witch', accepted for the What Lies Beneath anthology, published by Thirteen O'Clock Publishing. I am especially pleased to have my original, dark fantasy piece, 'Darkness in the Mountain of Light' accepted by the same publication. For those in the know, this story includes a well known character, Cimiar, an exceptionally talented alchemist.

I expect this anthology to be published in a month or two. This is my second acceptance for 2014 – a good start.
