My zombie story "Forlorn Hope" failed to make the second cut so it's off to another potential home... Going to have a go at the Corvidae anthology next.

Back from holiday to two rejections... Just like the good old days. Never mind, will send them off somewhere else and still waiting to hear back on two others and the novel.

Finished my "Crow" story and to be honest it's a bit shit. Closing date's not till end of October so plenty time to get it sorted. Writing a scarecrow story for the same market now which I'm much happier with so far.
Got a tip for another potential market re the novel from Ross but not sure if it's the done thing to have it subbed to two places simultaneously..?

My story "Indigo" has been accepted for publication by Charon Coin Press in their State of Louisiana anthology.
Need to go and have a lie down now...
(And yes Ben - how spooky is the coincidence on the Publishers name..?)

Have now had both the crow and scarecrow stories rejected as well as the novel. The rejection for the stories was a generic one but the one for the novel was actually very encouraging. Sent off my flash piece to a non-paying market and am cracking on with a weird western novella.

Apparently, State of Horror: Louisiana Vol 2 is available from tomorrow. That's the one with my story in. Been checking the publisher's website and FB pages but there's no mention of it. We'll see...

^Was on holiday last week so lost a bit of momentum. Back on it now tho and approaching 13,000 words. Reckon I'll be finishing the (very rough) first draft next week.

looking forward to it when it's finished mate. Yeah I had a weekend off "Slaughter Beach" and need to get back to it tonight. It's about 25 k. at the minute so one or two nights should get it finished - likewise it'll be a very rough draft!
