Disturbing News

8 May

And as usual, I mean “disturbing” in a good way.

The good people at Morrígan Books had this brilliant idea: an anthology of modern horror where every story takes place in a hotel room. How could I resist trying my damnedest to get in on that one? (Don’t let the pretty flower background mislead you. Becca the Webmaster only put it there to balance out my issues with blood and insanity, she tells me.) And wonder of wonders, my submission of short fiction, The Mirror, has been accepted into the fold, among a list of twelve incredibly talented (awfully scary) writers.

So what I’m telling you is that my first publication will be the September 2008 release of Voices, edited by edited by Mark S. Deniz and Amanda Pillar, from Morrígan Books. I’m obviously ridiculously excited about the project. The tentative lineup and announcements can be found here. [EDIT: Old LJ link went defunct, new link in place!] Looks like an awful lot of fun. Horrible, creepy, disturbing fun.

PS- Sincerest apologies for the bad behavior of the sidebar in Firefox. I’ve tried every trick in the book, but with Becca on hiatus I’m quite out of my depth. I’m not giving up though! In other news, it works perfectly in IE. *grumble*

    Well, you deserved to be in the line up! Was a great story.

    As for the side bar; what format is the website in? I tend to work in Dreamweaver and use Firefox as my main browser… so I might be able to offer my limited help :)

    @Meghan
    Oh man, I can’t even tell you it’s not worth bothering over, after I just made a huge deal about not having a properly signed copy of Into the Storm

    You rule. Thanks for all the help with that story.

    @Amanda
    Why thank you– both for the chance you’ve given me, and for the offer of help with the sidebar. Stupid effing thing!

    Small compact sentence. Spoken repeatedly, usually in my direction. “I told you so.” No…too easy. This time, it starts with You, ends with right, and has a were in the middle. It should be spoken easily considering I receive such news on a website.

    HAHAHA ohhh Dana you crack me up. You WERE right! (I like how you’re acting like you never get to hear that. Ha!)
