Sleeping with the Fish

I have just received word that my short story “Sleeping with the Fish” is going to be published. I submitted it to an anthology ages ago and word came this morning that Fish Tales has been picked up. Seems a bit fishy? The anthology is the project of a Sisters in Crime chapter called the Guppies, or The Great Unpublished.
Clarissa Dillon, daughter of a Quaker miller in colonial Pennsylvania, finds a body in the mill pond, and tracks down the killer. Clarissa Dillon is a real person and when I asked if my character could use her name, she agreed as long as she wasn’t the murderer.
I am not a Quaker, and even if I were, there have been so many changes since the 1700s that I had a hard time with the details. The real Clarissa was a great help with the customs and the wording.
While I liked the fictional Clarissa a lot (I like the real one, too), the set up of the story makes it hard to have her appear as a recurring character. I have no doubts that the mill will appear again.
