News: February 2010

I said it in my last update and I'll say it again: Where the heck did January go? With February being the short month that it is, we'll be well into 2010 before we know it.

I am, however, happy to report that the first two weeks of the new year brought some very good news. My short story, "Ragnarok," has been published by Read Short Fiction.com. You can read it by clicking on the link in this paragraph or by visiting the stories page. Also, be sure to sample some of the other stories that have been published on the site, all of which have been written by some truly talented authors.

They say life is what happens when you make other plans. The deadline for the final decision on my story at the pro-rate magazine has come and gone. And gone. Still with no decision. Regardless, I'm willing to be as patient as it takes. Keep considering me, my good editors, and here's hoping for some good news in the near future.

Finally, I was able to finish the second draft of the Crawford novella in time for my self-imposed Jan. 31 deadline. For those of you unfamiliar with these stories, you can read the first tale in the cycle, "The Horse Thieves," for free at Space Westerns.com or on the stories page. I'm now hoping to get some outside criticism before submitting it to agents.

Until next time, thanks for visiting and happy reading.
