It has been far too long since I posted to the blog. Life is busier than ever, but it is getting
better. The past month, I have been
courting the true love of my life, and it may seem a bit hasty, but on
Thanksgiving day we got engaged. There
will be more time to discuss that later, but rest assured I have finally found
happiness. So, please bear with me if I
don’t have as much time for writing at the moment (I also still have 4 children
to raise, as well as many work projects to take up my time).
Now, the news many of you came looking for. The Forbidden! anthology is still being put
together. I am pleased to say that I’ve
accepted a few stories for the collection, but the vast majority remain under
consideration, and they will until January, when I will make the final cuts and
acceptances. We have a lot of good
stories waiting, and to make sure I have room for the best of the best, I might
as well wait until the last subs come in this month. I’m sorry for those of you who have been
waiting since July-August. I expect
it’ll be worth the wait.
As we wait for the final submissions and the forthcoming
acceptances, here is the final cover art for the anthology, illustrated by the
very talented Christine Leonardi:
If I don’t get back to you beforehand, I wish you all a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
