Sold a story

I just heard from Skian at Top Dog Press — they're going to use "Ephanie's Story" in an upcoming issue of Shadow Sacrament, an on-line journal. It doesn't pay much, but is is a paying gig!

The funny part is, the story was written only as part of the back story for another character. It fit the submission request from Top Dog, so I sent it along. Never underestimate a story.

Top Dog Press submission

I answered a call for submissions to a e-publisher, Top Dog Press, which publishes (on line only) The Shadow Sacrament. It's not for everyone, but I have a new story that fits their needs rather well, I think. It's the Ephanie story, where I give the details of David Smith's heritage (his father is the Greek god, Hephaestus). I actually wrote it as part of David's back story, thinking that it might end up as part of the David/Mark story I'm working on, not thinking it would find a market on its own. It'll be a while before I hear from Top Dog, but I've got my fingers crossed.
