I'm a bit behind on posting - my novelette "Horses" will be published in Postscripts, sometime late next year or early 2010. Yeah, it's a long way off, but very much worth the wait. FYI, it was accepted only after Peter Crowther rejected it a first time, but with an invite to resubmit if I could edit it down. I did so, cutting a whopping 5,000 words out of it (down to 8,900). It was relatively easy, which makes it very clear that the story never needed to be as long as it was. I'm learning to love my words a little less, and I think that's a good thing. :)

My fifth sale of the year - a horror novelette to a very well-known, well-regarded print magazine. I'll post all the details when the contracts are signed. The novelette won't be published until sometime next year (or maybe longer), but it'll be worth the wait.

...to Subterranean Magazine. It'll be published this summer in their online edition. I'm very pleased about this, because it means that once again I'll have online fiction that I can point people to when they ask for it.

FYI, this is my second sale to Subterranean - I think my writing is a good fit for them. "400k" was my third and final story written at Clarion, and it was by far the best thing I'd written there. I'm pleased to see it find such a good home.

I think it's ok to post this, but I'm going to confine it to this largely-unread blog until I know for sure, then I'll post it to Livejournal: "The Unattainable" has sold to Cecilia Tan's anthology Cowboy Lover: Erotic Stories of the Wild West. It'll come out at the end of April from Thunders Mouth Press.

YAY!
