Hi Martin, thanks heaps for that! I'm really glad you liked the story, and that's some mighty fine words for you to offer up :)
Yes, it was originally intended for the Voices anthology and made it to the final round. Unfortunately it was ultimately rejected because the Hotel Staff were involved in it, and knew about the history of the phone. Mark and Amanda decided they only wanted stories where the staff did not have knowledge of the events occuring in the hotel.
That's okay though. Angela and Shane gave me the chance to add more to it and flesh out the 'serious issues' a little more. I think the story turned out all the better for the rejection :)
