There was no corresponding post last month – many apologies,
but October seemed to be a frustrating month all round, what with tying up the
anthropology course at the university and things being generally slow on the
writing front.
There were two placements, The Devil’s Bride at the pro venue Abyss & Apex (to be published as Scans at the suggestion of the editor) and the slightly rewritten Last Stop Paradise at Stupefying Stories. Nothing actually
came out last month – well, Walking on
Titan appeared in Aurealis 116 on
the 30th, but I felt it was a good leader for this month’s update.
Interestingly, they gave my piece leader slot in promotional blurbs, and had an
artist illustrate it with a colour header piece! You can order and download via
Smashwords here.
I presently have 71 submission in play, with more than 1030
in total, 64 placements, and am still hopeful of coming close to matching last
year’s overall performance.
The first big anthology from Compelling Science Fiction is
due soon, there’ll be an update when it’s released.
Cheers, Mike Adamson
