"The Registry of Lost Socks" - An Honest Lie
Volume
2
My short story "The
Registry of Lost Socks" has been selected for
publication in the short story anthology An Honest Lie Volume 2.
"Socks" was selected from among 3,000 entries to round out this
collection of just 13 stories which will be published later this year.
Readers will also have the opportunity to vote for my story as "best in
show."
We're now
about two months away from the release of the anthology. I'm also in
queue to be interviewed for the Open Heart Publishing blog.
For the announcement about the authors selected for An Honest Lie Volume 2,

Heart Publishing's website.
News: September 2010
There's lots of news to report this month. To begin, I am proud to
report that I have received my first-ever critical review. On July 19,
Tangent magazine published a review of Neo-opsis Issue 19,
in which my
short story "'Swordsman Wanted'" appeared. In the article, Managing
Editor Dave Truesdale said that "'Swordsman Wanted'" is a
"light-hearted read, and Scalisi carries it off with a quiet, assured
professionalism." Truesdale went on to describe my story as one of the
best in the issue. To read the full review, click HERE. To order an
copy of Neo-opsis
Issue 19, click HERE.
Editing is
also finished on the Crawford novella -- finally!! The novella and
accompanying short stories clock in at more than 50,000 words, which
was my target length. Over the next few months, I hope to begin
contacting literary agents to request representation. And then the real
fun will begin.
As I stated in
the section above, we are now approximately two months away from the
release of An Honest
Lie Volume 2, which will include my short story
"The Registry of Lost Socks." After completing two rounds of
back-and-forth corrections, editing on "Socks" is complete pending the
publisher's final approval.
I've also
completed work on a sci-fi / cyberpunk short story titled "Infection."
Editing is currently in progress, and I hope to start submitting it
soon.
Finally, my
ghost story, "Carousel Gardens," is making the rounds and is currently
out to several magazines and anthologies. Stay tuned for any news
regarding the publication of this story.
Thanks for
visiting and happy reading.
