"Mikey Frick Finds a Flower" reprinted by Story Shack and it includes FANTASTIC art by Alankrita Jain

Yikes! I've been so bogged down in my studies that I neglected to mention that my story, "Mikey Frick Finds a Flower" (originally appearing at Kazka Press) has been reprinted by Story Shack. One of the very cool things that Martin Hooijmans, editor of Story Shack, does is link writers to artists.The work done by Alankrita Jain is FANTASTIC and really captures my story perfectly. Even if you don't feel like reading my story again, it's worth following the link just to see Alankrita's artwork.

"Water Finds Its Path" sells to Perihelion SF, and "The Flittiest Catch" to appear in Voluted Tales.

The Easter Bunny brought me an acceptance from Perihelion Science Fiction for my story, "Water Finds Its Path."  I've always liked this story, and I'm excited to appear for the first time at Perihelion. I've always admired their e-zine.

In other news, Voluted Tales will be reprinting my IGMS story, "The Flittest Catch." This will be my second reprint to appear with VT, and the first time "The Flittiest Catch" will appear outside of a firewall.

"Scents of Life" to appear in Daily Science Fiction.

Yesterday I received an acceptance from Daily Science Fiction for a story, "Scents of Life," that is what I consider "the best thing I've ever written" (so far). Unlike my other two stories to appear in DSF, this is a full length story. It incorporates some of the research I've done as a nursing student as well as some of my experiences with my father, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Believe it or not, it is actually a POSITIVE sci-fi story, something I've found all too rare in what tends to get published these days. I'm very excited about this sale, and it is likely to result in my upgrade to full Active status in SFWA. Yay!

My story, "Gorlack the Destroyer's All You Can Eat Adventure," is in the Dark Expanse: Surviving the Collapse anthology, now available for download on Amazon. There are some pretty big names included in this anthology, and the story I contributed is one of my all time favorites.

Another "Thirty More Seconds." This time 50% more British.

The Short Humour Site (UK, thus the "-our" in humor) has reprinted my story, "Thirty More Seconds," about a guy masturbating in traffic who accidentally destroys the world.

I wasn't sure if American idioms like "monkey spanking" would work for an non-American audience, so I tried to use British equivalents (drawing from knowledge gleaned from my British TV watching habits) . There's a high chance that I buggered something up, so feel free to point out my errors. There's nothing I hate more than facking up my use of profanity. :-)
