Yesterday Was a Good Day
I had two stories accepted yesterday. Woo-hoo! A quirky little flash piece that I wrote called “Fortune Cookies” was accepted by EDF. No publishing date yet, but you’ll read it here first (or, possibly second, if you read the EDF TOC first, LOL!).
And then I had a short story that I’ve been shopping around for a while, “The Sorcerer’s Wife,” accepted by Residential Aliens. Very exciting! I’ve loved that story through all its incarnations – it’s run from flash to short story length during its journey to publication, as well as through several endings. TSW has a character in it who totally developed a life all her own — I love it when characters do that!

Congrats, Erin. You are chugging along, Kiddo! As my grandfather used to say, Cream rises.
I get all excited, too, when one of my characters starts whispering in my ear what she (or he) wants to do. Eva Jean Dickens (from The Mixture) did it, is still doing it. She wants me to tell another of her stories.
And the unnamed female protagonist of my upcoming EDF story, Oh, Woman of Easy Virtue, has a mind of her own, too. Oh, yeah, she definitely has a mind of her own.
