Just Sold Two Stories

Last night I checked my email and discovered that one of my short stories, Woman Called Witch, had been accepted for publication by The Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine. Rather than publish in print, the magazine creates Podcasts of the stories they buy, which means that my story is going to be turned into a Podcast.

I have to admit that I’m thrilled by that. I’ve been listening to serialized novels and short stories in Podcast form now for almost a year and I think that Podcasts are one of the up-and-coming methods of publication in the future. I’m ready to embrace that technology!

The Dunesteef Team even asked me to record an introduction to the story. I’m thrilled about that too! I mean, what an opportunity! I know that marketing my writing is going to be a lot of work, but they just gave me a little help!

Then, to top it off, I received word from The Monsters Next Door Magazine that they want to publish my story, Number Two for Brains, in their fifth issue that comes out in mid-November 2008.

I can hardly believe it! I’ve been sending out short stories since early March 2008 and now, finally, magazines are starting to accept them. Now all I need to do is find an agent to represent the book I’m trying to sell.
