Here There Be Dragons
Wicked East Press (their submissions forum can be found here) held their first writing contest recently, and though I didn't win a prize, my story was accepted for publication in Here There Be Dragons. My tale, "A Trade of Ice," concerns an unwilling messenger sent to make a terrible trade with a great monster (hint, she has wings, scales, and fits the cover art--which was put together by the lovely Rebecca Besser). From the Table of Contents alone, I can tell this is going to be a great "gift" anthology for fans of dragons--in fact, I'm pretty certain I'll be giving my brother a copy.
I'll give you an update on the release date as soon as I have more information.
Fish
Dagan Books is publishing an anthology called Fish, which promises to be filled with tales of underwater wonder and rediscovered fish mythology. As soon as I saw the charming cover by Galen Dara, I went to work on a short story to fit the call for submissions. I'm happy to say that my story "Fish Tears" is listed in the Table of Contents. "Fish Tears" is a post-Apocalyptic glimpse at a world without rivers. And, if you know me well, the heavy dose of Egyptian mythology comes as no surprise. It was a joy to write.
The anthology is due out in February 2012. I'll be sure to post more information closer to the release date.

Random Chicken
Random Chicken
And now for a segment I like to call "Random Chicken". Because chickens, when they appear, usually are, well, random.
This week, Patricia Louise Puckett celebrated the birth of her first niece, Madeline Rose. Congratulations to the lucky parents, Laura and Lee! She's one of the most beautiful baby girls I've ever seen, and I might just have to use her for inspiration in one of my upcoming middle reader stories, which is only fitting since she's certain to be spoiled like a princess ;)
