Yay! My poem, My Whole World, has been accepted for publication by Every Day Poets. I’m not sure when it will be out, but I am really, really looking forward to sharing this one. It’s a completely non-speculative piece I wrote as a part of the 2011 November poem-a-day challenge but only got around to revising last year and I adore it 🙂

Sale: The Day After
My poem, The Day After, has been accepted for inclusion at Napalm and Novocain — a webzine which features poetry with a theme of romance’s aftermath. I don’t often write things which would fall into that category but in going through some of my old poems on Monday I discovered one which did.
I’m pleased to know it has found a home outside of my computer. And so quickly too. Talk about a fantastic response time LOL
Sale: Gopher Season
My flash fiction, Gopher Season, has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of Fiction 365. Gopher Season actually began its existence as a poem, but I had difficulty making it work as such so changed it up into a piece of flash fiction instead. I thought it worked well as such and apparently the editors at Fiction 365 agreed. Yay!
Sale: Alien Skin Creme
My poem, Alien Skin Creme, has been accepted for future publication at Every Day Poets. Have I mentioned that I love these guys? I do. I love these guys 😉
Sale: The Other Side of the Door
I’m happy to announce that my short story, The Other Side of the Door, which I originally wrote for the Whittaker Prize last year has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of Kzine. The editor suspects we’re looking at an early 2014 publication date. So that will be a fantastic way to start the new year.
Much like my last publication at Kzine (…Oh My!), when I originally submitted this story Mr. Hurry rejected it but offered some feedback on the story. I thought his comments were insightful and constructive, so I re-wrote the ending of the story and re-submitted it to him. And voila!
🙂
Sale: Rest
My love affair with Every Day Poets continues. They have accepted my poem, Rest, for inclusion in a future issue. Yay! I don’t know exactly what date it will be up yet, but I’ll let you know when it happens.
Sale: What Won’t Wait
I’m happy to announce that my poem, What Won’t Wait, is scheduled to be included in the Spring/Summer 2014 issue of The Stray Branch. Yes. The 2014 version LoL It is a long way off but gives me something to look forward to 😉
Sale: Feeders
My short story, Feeders, has been accepted by Bete Noire for inclusion in a future issue. Feeders is a funny zombie story that I wrote as a part of the 2012 Whittaker competition. I can’t wait to be able to share it with Bete Noire’s readers. And you. 🙂
Call for Submissions: Metastasis
I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be editing a cancer-themed anthology to be published by Wolfsinger Publications 🙂 It will be titled Metastasis.
Call for Submissions
Cancer scares us. It scares us and it intrigues us. There is so much we don’t know about it, but it’s out there, waiting to strike when we least expect it. Cancer is not all-powerful and many people beat it, but to those who don’t cancer is cruel. It doesn’t show them the kindness of a quick death but draws things out, taking their life away in slices.
Metastasis will be a fantasy/sci-fi anthology all about cancer. The stories and poetry included could feature a character with cancer, be written from the point of view of cancer, or even be by someone with cancer. That being said, those which go a step further and dig deeper will be even better.
What if cancer isn’t a disease but an attack on the human race by aliens/demons/monsters/terrorists?
What if it’s sentient?
What if people wanted to get cancer?
What if…?
Cancer is the body turning on itself. It’s uncontrolled growth. It is invisible and indiscriminate. Submissions to this anthology are encouraged to explore metaphorical approaches to this theme as well as literal ones.
Due to the nature of cancer this collection will tend toward the darker side of the speculative fiction spectrum but we don’t want the entire anthology to be gloomy and depressing so the absolute best submissions will find a way to end on a high note, find something to be optimistic about, or evoke an emotion other than (or in addition to) sadness or dread.
A portion of the proceeds from this anthology will be donated to the American Cancer Society.**
The editor for this anthology is Rhonda Parrish.
How to Submit:
Sale: Beneath
I’m super excited to announce that my short horror poem, Beneath, has been accepted to appear on Every Day Poets some time in the near future. I love Every Day Poets. I love it as a reader and as a writer. I honestly believe they are helping me write better poems. The combination of reading other people’s work each day and the feedback the editors provide on many of my submissions is making me a stronger poet. Acceptance, when it comes, is just a wonderful bonus 🙂
Sale: Memories
Within my writing folder there happens to be a vignette I’d written in 2010. I like it very much, but had no freaking idea what to do with, so it kicked around my brain and gathered virtual dust on my hard drive, waiting for me to write something I could plug it into. Then, a few weeks ago I was looking on Duotrope for a good place to submit a poem I’d written and I stumbled across Vine Leaves Literary Journal. Vine Leaves is unique in that they publish vignettes. You know what’s better than finding a story I could include that vignette in? Finding a publication that was willing to consider it just as it is.
I sent the vignette (which I called Memories) to Vine Leaves along with the poem. I haven’t heard back about the poem yet (keep your fingers crossed) but this morning I received an email saying that Memories had been accepted for inclusion in their October issue and would be included in their annual ‘Best of’ anthology.
Yay!
ETA: They passed on the poem I sent them, but I’ve since submitted it elsewhere so your finger crossing will not be wasted 🙂
