Another odd little flood of new publications this week:
- I'm extremely happy to have a story in one of the oldest magazines around! "Canopy of Skulls" can be read in the March 7th issue of
Nature Magazine. This story came about directly because of the Cascade Writers Workshop last July.
Ken Scholes led us in a workshop on short story creation, and people threw out random words to form a story prompt. The result? "Canopy of Skulls." I mulled the concept over for months and finally wrote it up in December.
- In the space opera issue of Penumbra, you can read my poem
"Homecoming." - My poem "Nightmares" has been published in
Bete Noire Magazine. In other news, I had a story accepted this week that was on its 15th submission and had been sent out for almost two years--and it sold for pro rates!
Keep the faith, folks. If you love a story, you'll find other people who love it, too. (Sometimes it just takes an awfully long time.)
