"Beldame" to be Published at Diabolical Plots

Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhhh!

It has finally happened. One of my short stories, "Beldame," a modern fantasy that is probably my most upbeat (so far) tale will see print in a major market, Diabolical Plots. From what I can tell, it should be published either online or in an e-book anthology sometime next spring.

Besides the fact that I'm over-the-moon excited to see one of my personal favorite stories reach the public, I feel a need to just brag for a moment:

Diabolical Plots is a major science fiction/fantasy zine and is actually an SFWA-qualifying market. This means that I will be able to join the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America as an associate member after "Beldame" is published.

So, to recap:

"Beldame." Aaaaaaaaaghhhh!

Diabolical Plots. Aaaaaaaaaghhhh!

SFWA. Aaaaaaaaaghhh!

Semi-Colonic Irrigation is No Longer a Thing

I'm sorry to say that I've just found out that the planned anthology, Semi-Colonic Irrigation, which would have been the home of my first published poem, "Scenes from a living room at 4 a.m.," will no longer happen.

These things happen, so I'm not upset. But what it means is I may have to find another market for this poem. It's not horror; it's really not any genre. It just is what it is.

Let's see what happens to it.
