Reviews

I've finally gotten around to posting my reviews onto Amazon (after a timely reminder from Alan).

It (Amazon) tells me they may not appear for 48 hours, so be patient if you're waiting to see a review of something you've been published in or something you're considering buying (because I know you wouldn't do that until you've heard my opinion on it).

Work continues on my revision of a couple of stories and will do over the long weekend which stretches before me (Queen's Birthday here in SA - happy birthday Liz!). I'm also intending on finishing up the majority of my last assignments so they're ready to go out the door once I've got the last few pieces together. I've given a deadline of the 15th of June before the last is actually posted so no rush on those who've been so kind to pierce my sample chapter with the cold hard steel of truth.

I'm also moving along with my reading. I'm about halfway through Atrum Tempestas and will go close to finishing that tonight.

Not much happening on the new words front at the moment though. The muse has vacated the premises. I think I'll check out what anthologies are around the place over the weekend, but I'm not limiting it to just dark fiction. According to Duotrope, there are about 40 anthologies on the books at the moment. Maybe one of those will stir up an idea. I've also got to finish reading Issue 5 & 6 of the NT back catalogue and then Issue 1 of New Bedlam.

If that doesn't spark something, I've got nearly 40 books sitting on my to read shelf that should get me going - or make me go blind - no, they are not that kind of book.

So that's my weekend summed up. Of course there's the kids sport and time with the family, and research to fit in there as well, but this is a writing blog and I know none of you are interested in my other exploits.

Speak soon.

Good luck with your submissions.
