Busier than ever on the writing/submitting front, as this hot August winds down. This summer’s been a crazy time for my writing, with all kinds of new story acceptances, and the appearance of “The Need to Desire” in Phantasmagorium’s weekly online feature.

Most of my efforts lately at creating new stories have been aimed at themed anthologies. This past month I finished three new pieces intended for markets of this type. We’ll see if any of those are successful.

My current tally of 22 finished stories (not counting stories I had previously considered finished, and submitted, but subsequently withdrawn from circulation) breaks down as follows:

2 published
4 accepted for future publication
16 in active submission (oldest 370 days out, newest 1 day out)

Of the four accepted stories pending publication, I’m not sure which will appear next. I’ll certainly make a lot of noise whenever the next one’s coming along.
