I’ve had another story accepted – ‘Dominance’ – this time for an anthology by the Library of the Living Dead Press. It’s a six thousand word story with a male lead, for a change, and a sci-fi horror genre. More to come as it develops, but I’m guessing a few months lead time on this one.

“Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled, and said, “We don’t love you anymore.”

Earlier, I mentioned submitting to the BBC Twitter audio book. This has now been released and is available to listen for free, or to download at their site.

‘Our Fathers Eyes’ accepted

A success for the Team Awesome that is Andy, Nige and myself. At the start of our collaboration, we played around with an exercise from the excellent book “The 3 A.M. Epiphany: Uncommon Writing Exercises That Transform Your Fiction.” The excercise was simple, someone started with a line or two, then someone else carried on the story, until we decided to stop. You’re not allowed to write anything down that night, but start your story the next day. The idea is to see how different the three stories would be even though coming from the same original premise. Your memory and your style would be the major factors in the differences.

Although my original short, ‘Only Connect’ was a mere thousand words, I liked the strange world we’d come up with between us. A mix of mutants, aliens and prostitution, I knew it could go further. I expanded the story to around four thousand words, and yesterday it was accepted by “Cossmass Infinities” to be released in Jan. I’ll update when it becomes available.

‘My Darling’ accepted

A woman has just been bitten by a zombie and has locked herself in the cellar as the change occurs. She writes a note to slip under the door, so that her husband knows what has happened to her.

I submitted this to the ‘“Letters from the Dead” anthology on October 11th and was accepted late last night.

A very heartfelt letter. It will fit perfectly!

I’m extremely happy with this acceptance and it’s helping me focus on a couple more short stories I’d like to finish before NaNoWriMo kicks off next month.
