"At Mother Laurie's House of Bliss" just got accepted for the anthology "The Ladies of Trade Town" edited by Lee Martindale, forthcoming 2011 from Norilana Books. The antho has an intriguing concept - sf/f (nonerotic) about sex workers. My story is something new for me, namely, a closed room mystery with fantasy elements and a gay male protagonist. I've written a few stories with male protags, gay and straight, but the mystery element made for an interesting stretch. I'm really looking forward to reading this book, not to mention being thrilled at being included. :)

I'm knuckling down on the home stretch of "Silver Moon" - 20k more words to go. I'm pushing to get 5k words written every week. August is going to be dayjob hell so this is do or die time. Wish me luck!

Make sure I get a copy of the story to consider for Wilde Stories 2012. And I'll mention this in Icarus...

Congratulations, Catherine! I liked the concept of the anthology when I first read the guidelines. Too bad the anthology won't be out for another year, because I'm looking forward to reading it.

I hear you - I'm dying to see the rest of the TOC myself. I suspect it'll be some good work. And thanks! :-)
