I’ve been fairly productive lately. I have four manuscripts looking for love in various slush piles on the internet, and two have found a home. Yay!
I’ve signed a contract with Murderous Ink Press, a new mystery publisher in the UK (and who knows more about murder mystery fiction that the Brits?). They’re going to publish my short story “The Tell-Tale Armadillo” in an anthology entitled The I’s Have It. My story is the latest exploit of chief medical examiner Treka Dunn, whose first adventure appeared in Mystery Weekly Magazine last month. A house has blown up, victims want answers, and Treka discovers it wasn’t an accident.
Also, my dark sci-fi story “Days to Remember” will appear in the next issue of Idle Ink, a spunky online magazine specializing in “genre fiction that’s too weird to be published anywhere else.” Sounds like a perfect home for my story.
Looking forward!
A big, super congrats Mike! 🍂🍮🍂🍮💞
AmericaonCoffee,
Hey, thanks!
Good for you. That’s amazing.
Imdalegreene,
Thank you! Mostly, it’s pure persistence.
I know what you mean. After years of writing, I just won my first literary contest even though I was just about to give up.
Imdalegreene,
Never give up! Never surrender!
Congratulations. I would be impressed with just one out there at a time and you have four in the works.
ralietravels,
Well, they’re out there — hopefully, they’ll find a home. You gotta keep plugging, no matter what.
Way to go! Congrats, Mike.
