Market News: scifi short story, Whistle In The Wind

Happy to announce that my historical scifi piece, Whistle In The Wind, set in post WWII Netherlands and Germany, has been accepted by Another Sky Press' Alien Sky Anthology. Pleased with this in part because it is quirky, only touching on scifi in terms of total words, and also because there is a tinge of my father's background involved.

Writing: Latest Work

In a fairly concentrated period I wrote a 5k short story yesterday and, like God resting on the seventh day, found it was good. Well, ultimately readers will decide that bit, but I felt good that I got it out of my system. This seems to be the way with my short fiction writing lately – with all my day job, family and publishing commitments, I need to be productive with the eyes of the storms that come my way, and yesterday was one of them.

This story, titled The Girl Who Floated To Heaven, is a dark and tragic piece, which isn't always my style, but I do tend toward the dark these days. The best 'dark' stories are ones that show a glimmer of hope, or at worst, provides some insightful comment. I think this story is more the latter.

I always post my stories into my writers' group wiki for comments, so soon after that cycle of review, I will find a market for this precious little gem.

Market News: Raindrops In His Eyes

Very pleased to have an Evyntyde story, Raindrops In His Eyes, accepted in Static Movement's anthology, Dark Dispatches.

Also pleased because this is the second story accepted for the same anthology – also because this story is going to be quite a contrast in the anthology because it is fantasy, with a dark twist, while most stories (including my first acceptance, They Never Can Find Out), are horror war pieces.
