Story sold to "From the Asylum"
I just sold a story to From the Asylum.  

I almost screwed up and sold the same story twice (again).  A couple months ago Kevin Donihe read "Perfect Death", I was a little late to get into Bare Bone #11, but he said he would be interested in the story for Bare Bone #12.  Thank God he hasn't opened #12 for submissions or I'd have to pull it.  I've got to get organized.  Kevin usually doesn't take reprints, but I'm going to see if he'll make an exception for "Hell Raisin".  If he agrees to look at the story it'll be a win-win situation for me.  If he accepts the story, I can chalk up another publication.  If he doesn't I can finally lay my love-hate relationship with that story to rest with it's first rejection.

Bare bone is only on issue 12? How often do they publish?

anyway -- here's a toy for you to get your stories organized. I'm going to bed.

Yeah, I need something. And you can't beat something for nothing. Thanks.

Oh, and Bare Bone is really more of an anthology, so it doesn't come out as often as you might think.

Hot damn! Nice one, Byron.

As for getting organised, I subbed a story to a short story market last night and got an email off Pete, asking why I'd cc'ed him the submission. I muttered something about getting to grips with a new email client and went to boil my head.

What's really bad is when you copy and paste an old submission letter and forget to change the editor's name. I've done that.

Congratulations, Byron.


Yeah, download the software that [info]drpearce is pointing you to. It's good stuff.

But then I won't have an excuse.

Oh, big party this weekend - live band, keg beer. I'll email the details.

My sister is having her annual Fish Fry Saturday so I doubt I will be able to make it. Send me the details anyway and I will see if I can talk Angela into a busy day.

It'll probably start late; I don't have full details, but I'll try to find out. And your sister was kinda cute. She can come, too. haha
