I’m thrilled to finally be able to announce that the story I\u00a0submitted to Torquere for their ‘Tis the Season Taste Test\u00a0 last month has been accepted! It will be one of three stories in\u00a0a holiday-themed anthology.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0got an email last week from the\u00a0editor\u00a0telling 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!\u00a0 And it is!<\/p>\n
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\u00a0next time around, but for now, my head is still in the clouds. If only I\u00a0could 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.<\/p>\n
The ‘Tis the Season Taste Test is scheduled to be published in\u00a0December. I’ll be making regular updates here about the editing process.<\/p>\n
And, I’m working on the next submission already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
