Desolate Places received!


I got home today to find that my contributor's copy of Desolate Places has arrived! I can't get over how gorgeous the cover is. It's worth the purchase price just for the cover.
It's got a ton of stories in it, including "Honeymoon" by me--and a big shout out to Camille Alexa, whose story "Flying Solo" starts the anthology off!
Incidentally, "Honeymoon" is one of my older stories, back from when I never sent a story off after it had gotten two or three rejections. I rewrote it just before sending it to Hadley Rille Books' call for subs last year, and it was accepted literally within hours. Camille may have the first story in the anthology, but I happen to know mine was the first accepted. Meow.
Except for the Black Dragon, White Dragon anthology (which should be out soon), I believe this is my last story that still uses Katherine Shaw as a byline instead of K.C. Shaw. Just, you know, FYI.
Now the pizza's out of the oven (only slightly burnt) and I've got my pajamas on. It's time to pretend like it's Friday night instead of Thursday, and lounge around reading my new anthology!

OH FOR GODS SAKE, what is with the lack of paragraphs? That happened to me once before. *grumbles about blogger*

It's the picture. I just figured it out. Why it screws up my paragraphs I don't know, but it does. So from now on, I won't post graphix unless I only write one single paragraph.

JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS am I that you've received your contrib. copy.

I'm pouting with Yoda speak until mine arrives -- erm, I mean: "pout like a Great One shall I..." whatever. You get it.

Can't wait to read your story!
