The Ditmar nominations have just been announced (full list here).  Very pleased to see some great works on there.

Very chuffed indeed to see Fablecroft’s Epilogue on there, too, since it contains a story by me! (Ghosts, for those playing along at home).

It is with much squee that I can announce that my story, The Skin of the World, will be appearing in the upcoming Ticonderoga Publications anthology Bloodstones, edited by Amanda Pillar.

For those following along with the patchwork quilt of my writing worlds, The Skin of the World is a prequel to the novel I’ve been working on (which is currently in a very messy draft that needs to be stripped to the bone), The White Raven, and also takes place in the same universe as Narthex, which was published in In Bad Dreams 2: Where Death Stalks.  Yes, I like having interconnected stories!

Here’s a little peek into how awesome this is for me – not only do I get to work with Amanda again, who is an amazing editor (she was co-editor for Grants Pass), but there’s also this: a few months ago, I sat down and started making a list of goals I’d like to achieve with my career, including some of the publishers that I’d like to sell stories (or longer works) to.  And Ticonderoga was on that list

The awesome table of contents:

• Joanne Anderton, “Sanaa’s Army”
• Alan Baxter, “Cephalopoda Obsessia”
• Jenny Blackford, “A Moveable Feast”
• Vivian Caethe, “Skin”
• MD Curelas, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”
• Thoraiya Dyer, “Surviving Film”
• Dirk Flinthart, “The Bull in Winter”
• Stephanie Gunn, “The Skin of the World”
• Richard Harland, “A Mother’s Love”
• Pete Kempshall, “Dead Inside”
• Penny Love, “A Small Bad Thing”
• Karen Maric, “Embracing the Invisible”
• Christine Morgan, “Ferreau’s Curse”
• Nicole Murphy, “Euryale”
• Jessica Otis, “And the Dead Shall be Raised Incorruptible”
• Dan Rabarts, “The Bone Plate”
• Erin Underwood, “The Foam Born”

My contributor copy of Fablecroft’s Epilogue.  Shiny!

Buy a copy of your very own!

Today has been, so far, a productive day.  Played with the kidlet for ages this morning, mostly building train tracks for him (holy crap is he obsessed with trains).  We watched a bit of Peter Pan, which always makes me sad/happy.  He is now napping, and the house is quiet except for the sound of windchimes outside.

It is a fairly bad pain day, despite me dragging out the heavy duty drugs.  Air pressure changes are fun when you have fibromyalgia.  Plus we haven’t gotten any actual rain here yet, which just makes it all not worth it.  It has gotten overcast in the last half hour, though, so hopefully we’ll get some.  It’s been a distressingly dry month, and tomorrow Perth goes into full sprinkler ban for winter, with little more rain on the horizon.  Thankfully, our garden is mostly natives, which will survive, but I may need to get out and hand water the roses a little.

More organisation today.  Finally diving into reworking the outline of Never.  I’m making some major plot changes, and also pacing changes – most notably, I’m splitting most of my early chapters into much shorter ones.  My brain is melting now, thanks to the weather, so I think it’s time to step away from the novel and rest/read for a bit while the kid sleeps.
