Due to a layout error, a few lines of my story in Shroud's Northern Haunts anthology were left out. When I first received a copy of the book and read my story, I actually thought quite a bit more was missing (my computer still hadn't been hooked up, so I couldn't compare the printed story to the original file). It goes to show how every word counts in flash fiction.
Fortunately, Tim Deal has gone above and beyond in remedying the situation, having recently updated the book's file and offering to send me a replacement copy once it's ready. He also posted the story, in its entirety, on the Shroud blog. If you've read the book and wondered about my story, you can now read the full version, and everyone else can enjoy the story gratis. It'll only take a couple of minutes to read. You can check it out
HERE.
And I have another short story appearing in Issue 7 of Shroud Magazine. They're a great company to work with.
Meanwhile, I've had the computer hooked up for a while now, but have been crazy busy with the new house and am way behind on emails. Hopefully I can get caught up soon -- apologies to anyone who hasn't heard from me in a while.
I'm going to be meeting with my assigned editor at Scholastic next week to get me started on the book I announced earlier. With life slowly returning to normal, I'm looking forward to diving head first into this project.
