Acceptance!

I’m thrilled to finally be able to announce that the story I submitted to Torquere for their ‘Tis the Season Taste Test  last month has been accepted! It will be one of three stories in a holiday-themed anthology.

I got an email last week from the editor telling me he wanted to use my story, but I wanted to wait until I got the contract in the mail, just to be sure it’s all really happening!  And it is!

I’m practically still pinching myself that my very first submission anywhere ever was accepted. Of course, I need to be aware that it’s probably not going to be as easy as this next time around, but for now, my head is still in the clouds. If only I could tell my mother! I’m not sure if she’d be more shocked to discover I’m writing gay fiction or that I’m writing erotica. Best not to frighten her at all, or just be very vague about this.

The ‘Tis the Season Taste Test is scheduled to be published in December. I’ll be making regular updates here about the editing process.

And, I’m working on the next submission already.
