It’s hard to believe another year has zoomed by. Always seems I just get used to recording the new year, and then, whoosh!, time has sped past me while I have had my nose in flowers, my thoughts it stories, and my hands either in dirt or paint.
It’s been since June I last posted any updates or information, mostly reviews. May through October are months busy with gardening and harvesting, so there’s little oomph left in the old girl to actually apply myself to writing a blog post and keeping followers apprised of what I’m up to, what I’m…
So very pleased to be part of this amazing anthology of freezing horror.
Only took me until my 69th year to gather the wherewithal to apply and be accepted to two professional publishing-related associations. But as they say, better late than never.
I’ve just signed a contract with voice actor Maria Campos to narrate Dreams of the Moon. Maria has a gorgeous voice with excellent enunciation and expressiveness. I was frankly a bit blown away by her audition, and so am more than a little excited to have her produce my collection of short, speculative fiction.
I am thrilled to announce I’ve accepted an invitation from Diane Walton, Publisher at On Spec Magazine, to join their editorial staff.
In the latest issue of On Spec, one of my favourite speculative fiction magazines, and a publication for which I review, one of my flash fiction stories makes a debut appearance: “The Keening of the Sparrow”.
I’m very pleased to present the cover reveal and launch date of November 28, 2023 for the Dublin Creative Writers’ fourth anthology: Untold Stories: an Anthology. I’m further pleased because one of my stories makes an encore, “For A Cup of Tea”, originally published in On Spec, Issue 23, Winter 1995.
Sorry about that. Life, you know? Seems it’s been since March that I’ve posted anything here, and what a journey it’s been.
The Murder on Her Mind anthology series is now live and populating the world with tales of murderous women, edited by Rasiika Sen.
The main news is I’ve released Caliban in audiobook on Google Play. Why is this remarkable news when I already have Caliban available in audio at Audible, Amazon, Apple and Kobo?
After months of laborious recording and mastering audiofiles for distribution through ACX, I was met with further frustration when it seemed the Amazon-owned distributor had upped their technical requirements, which would mean another several weeks for me to remaster all 60 tracks of The Rose Guardian.
So today’s exciting news is I have a short story appearing in On Spec Magazine.
