Corpus Deluxe Contract Received

More of the business side of writing Friday with the contract received for “River Red” in CORPUS DELUXE:  UNDEAD TALES OF TERROR (cf. September 25, 24).  This one’s moving fast with the acceptance only three days after I’d sent the story, and now three weeks later the contract with a note that if all signed returns come back quickly enough, Editor Jorge Salgado-Reyes hopes to have it out as early as October 25.

The publisher of this one is Indie Authors Press, of London UK, while “River Red” takes place mostly in the Port City in the far-future, dying Earth world of the “Tombs.”  It’s a tale in a sense of undying love, or perhaps that’s “undead” love, which as it turns out is not always a good thing.  “River Red” was originally published in ESCAPE CLAUSE (Ink Oink Art Inc, 2009) and also appears in my collection THE TEARS OF ISIS (Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing, 2013).
