Like flippin’ busses
Why yes, it is a non-end of year post. How bizarre. And in this case it is to crow mightily while also banging the drum for persistence. You know that old line about you wait ages and then three busses turn up at once? Well it appears to hold true for writing of short fiction…

The Purple Patch Continues
I’ve been oddly hanging back on announcing this one (damn weirdy paranoia) but last weekend I had another acceptance, this time from some lovely people at Crossed Genres.
