I could have hardly expected success again so soon, but it has been given to me! Last night I got an email from Library of Horror Press that they will be publishing my story titled “Infestation” in their upcoming collection “Fearology 2: Beware All Animals Great and Small.”

I’m pretty stoked about this whole affair. Not only am I getting published again, but I found out that on this occasion my story is one out of only 23 that were picked for the anthology, and that was out of over 140 submissions! That’s about fifteen percent! And, on top of all that, I’m actually going to get paid for this one! Paid! Someone is giving me money for a story that I wrote! Can you believe that? I’m being compensated for the work I put into a story. In this economy, that’s slightly staggering to the mind that there’s a place out there giving writers money for words. I have to say I’m pretty dang pleased to be one of those people!

As soon as I have more information on the issue – when it is coming out, where it can be purchased, all that jazz – I will update here.

I celebrated last night by having some cake and ice cream (with whipped cream!) with a friend. She asked me how I planned to celebrate further, and I said, “I’m going to write more and send out more stuff.” It seems to me that a pretty good way to celebrate something that you’re good at doing is by continuing to do that thing, and so I shall. I hope to have further publication news for you as time passes. It’s obviously possible for me to get some work out there, now I just need to work harder at it and see what the results will be from that work!
