It's been months and months since I posted here. I can't say that I feel like there's a whole lot of information that I haven't passed along, despite that. I've had a few stories sell and a few get published. My Publications Page is up to date. The big thing I'm looking forward to, presumably later this year, will be my first appearance in one of the major print digests. "Lakeside Memories" is due to come out in an upcoming issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. I wouldn't be surprised if it is in an issue dated for or released around Halloween.
Kazka Press, where I had some of my first sales before taking over as editor, is shutting down with the May issue. I'm kind of bummed about that, but deciding to shut down while we were still relatively on top of things was the right thing to do. Goldfish Grimm's Spicy Fiction Sushi, where I co-edit with Kelly Stiles, has been doing well. We've published some really cool stories there and are a full semi-pro publication now (offering at least a penny a word for all fiction acceptances). And the Unidentified Funny Objects series edited by Alex Shvartsman, for which I'm one of the Associate Editors, is heading to a third volume.
And I keep plugging along with writing new words. I'm not as rigorous about writing every day as I used to be, but I still keeping moving forward.
Hey Mike, saw your story on DSF, came over to see how you are doing. I enjoyed what you sent. to be sure, but I simply have to tell you that when I clicked your link to goldfishgrimm.com my avg blocked a "black hat seo exploit" attempt and that was coming from that website. I would love to see more on the "weird fiction" that you have at goldfish site, do get that looked at.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! I don't handle the website for either Kazka or Goldfish Grimm, but I'll pass this along to our webmaster right away!
