Got responses to two of the submissions that I’ve got out just now within a few hours of each other and this time they were both acceptances!

Firstly Rudy Rucker let me know that he wanted to publish my story And They Will Not Be Stopped in the next issue of his webzine Flurb which will be going live fairly soon I think (link will appear here once that has happened).

Then not long after that Edwin Ryberg of Utility Fog Press let me know that he wanted to publish my story Watch in his proposed ?Great? Britain anthology.  The original February deadline for that one has been moved back to June to allow more time for more suitable subs to come in so if you haven’t submitted to that one just yet then give it a go and make sure the antho sees the light of day!  (You can find out more details on their website).

So that’s a pretty good night for me and means my plan to bring my profile back up a little is in good stead so far.

Heard back from Karen Romanko, the publisher and editor of the proposed CINEMA SPEC anthology to say that she was accepting my story NUCLEAR SHADOWS for inclusion in the book.

This is my first acceptance in a loooong time (probably over a year) though to be fair it’s almost one of my first submissions in a loooong time  (definately over a year) so it’s good to get back into the swing of things.

The anthology’s full list of authors can be found at   http://www.ravenelectrick.com/cinemaspecacceptances.html – not really any other names that I recognise but then I’m so out of the loop now that I don’t know what the eff is going on.

I’m not exactly sure of the expected publication date but I think some time early next year will be likely.  I’ll put purchasing info on this site once it becomes available.
