An Evening of Submissions

I have spent the evening trying to find homes for some of my shorter works. I've sent off "The Winter Experiment" to Macabre Cadaver in the hopes that they will be willing to take a chance on its slightly unconventional style. Basically, when writing this piece I was trying to go for the style of the Beat writers in a horror genre with just a dash of Japanese folklore thrown in for good measure.

Another piece that has been tricky to find a home for is "Day of the Sentient"; this is a sci-fi tale on the surface, but I have been repeatidly told by various editors that it is too introspective to be included in their sci-fi magazines. So now it's been submitted to "OG's Speculative Fiction" magazine.

Wish me luck!

First Post

Recently, I received notification that my short story, "Gospel of the Dead", will be featured in an upcoming anthology published by Library of the Living Dead Press. Zombology II: Return of the Reanimates will showcase 16 short stories all with the centralized theme of Zombies. As an avid aficionado of the walking dead, my inclusion in this book thrills me to no end. Not only am I looking forward to seeing my first publication in an honest-to-god book, but I also can't wait to read the offerings of the other contributors.

In other news, work on my novel has come to a crashing halt lately. I just need to sit down, dig my heels in, and apply myself for at least an hour or so a day.

But this is enough for now. I basically just wanted to enter something so that my page isn't blank :)
