I’m Dreaming Agreement Received and Returned

A very quick “The Writing Life” update. With similar swiftness, Editors Josh Strand and Matt Masucci have sent the contract for MONSTROM: A CHARITY ANTHOLOGY, including my story “I’m Dreaming Of A. . . .” (see November 13). So, as of this afternoon, I’ve signed the agreement and sent it back.

As noted, it is a charity anthology for relief for victims of Hurricane Ian, with stories revolving around monstrous storms. Thus mine, originally published as a stand-alone chapbook in 2011 by Untreed Reads, is a snowy description of a Christmas season, decidedly NOT filled with peace and/or joy. And a warning for Santa (well, not so much in the story itself, but you know. . .) to be very careful with weather predictions in making his flight plan.

Or more for a wish for an early spring, but myself, I’m hoping that MONSTORM will be out in time for Christmas.
