Aurealis #121 was released at the beginning of June,
featuring my story The Stranger of Morden.
Here’s the Amazon purchase link ($2.99 download!):
May was entirely quiet, I’m in one of my longest dry spells
ever, just about to tick over to the highest number of rejections since the
last acceptance in my whole writing experience, though I have a couple of weeks
to go before it’s the longest period in days. I guess you just get slow
patches, and the tougher the market becomes, the fiercer the competition, the
more likely they are.
Never the less, I picked up a short-listing with Timeworn Literary Journal, for a
Roman-era short story with an occult twist, I’m expecting a decision on that in
the next couple of months. I’ve been as high as 89 submissions in play, and am
at 86 at this moment. I expect a few of the older ones to go inactive shortly,
I have a number of queries out and if there is no reply they are by default
extinct and stories can be directed.
I’ve not written much lately, May was a month for doing
other things, but I’m composing again at this time and it feels good to be
putting words on paper again!
Best wishes,
Mike Adamson
