Being stuck in Novelville and thinking I'll never write another short story again - you know the drill - I visited Aaron Polson's blog yesterday and at the sight of the most wonderful cover of the 'Dead Bait' anthology I had pangs of I-want-to-be-in-an-anthology. Okay, so Dead Souls is launching at FantasyCon this weekend, but I was beyond reason.
Anyhow, this morning I received an email from the aforementioned Mr. Polson, who when he's not warping inspiring children, and writing creepsome stories is also an editor, who informed me (and many others) that the Fifty-Two Stitches anthology is now available to buy. And there I was all woe-is-me only a day before. Check out the Amazon listing and see my bright, shiny name.

Some of you will have already guessed that I'm a BlogWhore TM. Well on one of my daily travels around the internet I discovered the blog of Brandon Bell. Go check it out. Oh, and try not to get BlogEnvy TM because it's one of the best looking blogs I've stumbled across.
I've broken my 'write one short story a month in 2009' rule and my wrists have been duly slapped. I've submitted Shiny Black Hearts to 'Weird Tales' and Dead Sharp Tail to the 'Dead Bait' anthology. I was working on something for 'Space Cops', but it began wandering further and further away from the guidelines so I've put it aside and declared I'm not going to write another short story during January. We'll see how long that lasts.
And Google fact of the day - someone found my blogspot blog by typing 'i hate cate .com'. I'm assuming they mean Miss. Blanchett and not me. Gulp!
Very cool--looking forward to picking up my copy.
I like shiny things too. Can't wait to get a bright (or would it be dark) shiny copy in my hands.
I should have gone for dark... Aaron will hate me.
Very cool news. Onto the wish list it goes. :)
Yep...funny how these things work out. (Your listed as Cate Gardner inside the book, by the way. Couldn't change the contributors list...)
Why thank you Mr. Polson? And I am so blinded by seeing my name on Amazon, you could have called me Phyllis - only of course I wouldn't have known it was me... I'm in a rambling mood.
Nice. I'm headed over now to scope out the shining beacon.
Now that's a handsome book : )
Yay, bright and shiny!
I must buy many copies on pay day...
Definitely snagging this sucker the next time I have some cash laying around in the book fund. It's on top of the list!
I just left Novelville. Wondering if I can remember how to write a short. I'm shaking, man!
