Plugging Away

May 15, 2026

Last week I was busy making revisions as per my copy editor’s directions while juggling several other projects.

Wrapped up “Winter Ghost” and submitted it for consideration for Raconteur Press’ upcoming Wyrd Warfare 3 anthology.

Sent my zombie story, “That Bites!” to Cardboard Coffin for their Childhood Fears anthology.

Submitted “Three Beats–Reanimating Hitler” to Brown Hound Press and received a record-speed rejection. Maybe the editor didn’t like the title. Fair.

Meanwhile, I have begun editing a 10,000-word sword – and – sorcery story for Campfire Publishing’s Savagery on the High Seas anthology.

I’m also writing “Locked Away”, a heist story for Cat’s Eye Press’ “Vault” theme.

Once I’m done submitting the two above works-in-progress, I have found a press suited for a couple of erotic fiction stories I have written.

Love how many submission opportunities are out there these days. I currently have a dozen short stories out for consideration, and my catalogue continues to grow by 1000+ words per day.

Meanwhile, I have a safe home on Substack where unwanted stories can find readers. This week it is The Spider from my Bleeding the Dark Humours collection:
