sale!

I have sold my novella¹ "Katabasis: Seraphic Trains"² to Tales of the Unanticipated.

THAT's the way to start the New Year, baby.

¹In terms of classifying fiction by length, I am definitely a lumper rather than a splitter. My categories go like this.

1,000 words or less: flash fiction
1,000 to 9,000: short story, with 1,000 to 3,000 being inconveniently short and 6,000 to 9,000 being inconveniently long
9,000 to 15,000: novella
15,000 to 25,000: long novella
25,000 to 60,000: oh wtf is this nonsense?
60,000 and up: novel

²Furthermore, "Katabasis: Seraphic Trains" is an Artists' Challenge story, from the necklace Why Do You Linger?. Mille remerciements, elisem!

Reviews: The Queen in Winter

The reviews have started appearing, like crocuses in the spring.

Harriet gets there first, as usual.

Monsters and Critics also has an opinion.
