So Far, So Good

I learned last night that I sold my story "The Worm that Gnaws" to Pseudopod. I'm very excited about this for a number of reasons, including because Pseudopod is awesome and because I think the story will benefit very much from being read aloud. I will, of course, post a link when the story is actually available.

I'm also excited because this means I've got four stories "in press" (the fancy way of saying "sold, but not yet published"), which is the most I've ever had at one time. The others include some things I've not mentioned here yet.

First off, "The Clowder" is still coming out in the second volume of Cat Tales, due out sometime in the future from Wildside Press. That one's been in press for quite awhile now.

More recently, my necromancer-superhero tale "The Power of the Dead" found a home at A Thousand Faces, a quarterly mag of superhero stories, where it'll probably be appearing sometime around October. Finally, my story "Midnight in the Wax Museum" should be appearing in the fourth issue of Dark Worlds magazine. More on all of those as it becomes available.

On top of all of that, The Mysterious Flame is still selling well, and I'm told that we're already down to less than 25 copies remaining! So, in all, it's been a good year for me so far on the publishing front. Now if I could just start actually writing more new stuff...
