I forgot to mention last Thursday that I got a third sale - perhaps because I was so stunned to get three in five days. It's another reprint, but I can't post any more details until I get the ok from the publisher. I will say that it's a great market, and I'm very happy to get my foot in the door. Well, in this case, it's maybe a big toe. Good enough, though. :)

Got word today that "The Unattainable" (previously published in Cowboy Lover: Erotic Stories of the Wild West) will be reprinted in Maxim Jakubowski's Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica 8, coming out in early 2009. There's already a listing up on Amazon, but I won't link to it until the cover is up there as well.

This is my first sale to a "best of" anthology, so it's kind of a big deal. Also, I really loved this story - I think it's one of my best (out of the very few I've written, lol), and I'm glad that more people will get a chance to read it.

Go me! Unfortunately, I can give no details for at least a month or more, until the contracts are signed. I will say, however, that it's a great market with some incredible contributors, and I'm thrilled beyond belief to be in the ToC.

In other news, I'm still working on the novella "Wondyrechaun", which is finally shaping up after much flailing around on my part. Really, it was a sorry mess. But July 7th is when I have to send it off to readers and critiquers, and that deadline is very firm, so I have all of 13 days to finish it for once and all. After that, I'll work on a couple of short stories for anthologies and start slogging my way through a 20+ book research reading list for the novel-length version of "Wondydrechaun" (which will revert back to its original title of The Girls of the World, for agent submission purposes).

That's all that's happening in Livialand right now. :P Hopefully, what with Readercon, July will be more interesting, both writing and blogging-wise.
