So I've had a story published! Thanks to
keyan_bowes who mentioned this publication was looking for submissions. The theme was Rumplestiltskin. I mulled it over for a few days, and then wrote one.
My story is "The Queen's Child Comes In" and the publication is Enchanted Conversation.
You can see the introduction to the issue
here.
Or
go straight to my story. I've used a pen name. (Having received mixed advice about using my own name and agonizing and agonizing. But anyhow..)
Also in this issue, I recommend:
"Garbage-to-Gold Spindle -- On Sale Now!" by Eileen Weidbrauk
"The Duchess's Boy" by Louise Quenneville
There's also poetry if that's more your thing. And each story is a different take on Rumplestiltskin, so well worth a read. But read mine first! ;)
