Living the Fictional Dream

Remember the queryI mentioned to y’all a while back? Short story shorter, I had a story that looked like it would fit an anthology, but it was a reprint and they only wanted new material. I queried, and they invited me to submit it. A couple of days ago, I got an email from the publisher that my story is on the short list for consideration of being included in the anthology.

That doesn’t mean acceptance is guaranteed or anything, but the moral of this story continues to be — it never hurts to query. The worst they can say is no, and you might end up with good results you never truly expected!

Today, Lame Goat Press  released its anthology, Kings of the Realm: A Dragon Anthology. My short story, “The Dragon Thief,” was reprinted in this anthology, so I’m excited to get a look at it. I’ve always had a soft spot for Reginald and his dragon.

And, of course, in addition to my story, there are a slew of others. The anthology is speculative in nature, so you’ll find dragon stories that run the gamut from fantasy to sci-fi to mystery.
