Late to the game

It may be odd to write about February in March, but February was a particularly good month for me.

A short story I wrote with Harry Shannon, called Jailbreak, got accepted to two different anthologies. The first one is Dead Set: A Zombie Anthology, edited by Michelle McCrary and Joe McKinney (available for pre-order and shipping in April). The other is A Host of Shadows, a collection of dark short stories by Harry himself (also available for pre-order, and shipping around May).

I also produced two book trailers--oddly enough, one for Dead Set and one for A Host of Shadows.  That was an amazing experience.  Hopefully I can build that into a business.  I always liked the idea of being payed to do things I enjoy.

Also, I've started a new novel. It's called Space Available and 8000 words in, it is coming along very nicely. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that it is an interesting departure from my other attempts at speculative fiction, which has mostly included post-apocalyptic fantasy.

I did get a couple of rejections on some short story submissions this month, but they were some of the nicest rejections I could have hoped for. Overall, February was a successful month.
