I'm holding a book in my hand, and just inside the flash fiction anthology is my story Redemption. I cannot even begin to describe how it feels, to cradle a weight in your palm that isn't entirely another's creation but your own. Even cooler? My story is the very last one readers will see.
Sorry, just had to share. I'm carrying the blasted thing around like it's the Holy Grail.
The cover is finally here!! My story, Redemption, is waiting just inside! Will be available at Amazon.com on October 31st!
You can check the details out HERE.

A few months back, I entered a flash fiction challenge contest at Absolute XPress. The theme was "Creatures of the Night" and the rules were simple:
Homer was able to write about the Trojan War in ten epic novels, The Iliad being one of them. He covered it all: religion, love, war, fantasy, myth, and horror. Now it’s your turn to carry on the tradition and create your own epic story; but there’s a catch… It must be done in 1,000 words or less. That’s roughly 2 pages, which is 3/1000 of the size of the entire Homeric collection! So, I sat down, wrote out a short story called Redemption (1k words exactly!), polished it up, and submitted. I got word a month ago that my story was one of twenty accepted. *does the happy dance* Today, I got the contract and other nifty little things. My story will be available on October 31st, 2009 in an anthology.How exciting!I'll post more as the date nears.
Writing Status - BlahMood - HappyPlaying on ipod - What I Am by Edie Brickell and the new bohemiansIn June I entered a flash fiction contest. The theme was "Creatures of the Night" and the rules were simple. Write a 1k story about the things that go bump in the night. It sounded fun so I gave it a go. I sat at the PC, allowed the mind to take control, and crafted a story about demons, angels, and those that watched over them and entitled it, "Redemption". I just got word from Absolute X-Press that of the 20 entries chosen, my little story made the cut for publication.This is very exciting. I adore flash fiction and the opportunity to deviate from erotica.I'll keep you posted on publication, etc. My final edited version is due by September 16th.
