Writing update

[catherineldf]

2015 so far:

• Essay on Irene Adler as a character in recent TV and film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes submitted. Spoiler alert: I'm not a big fan of the recent depictions. I like Elementary's the best, thus far, but that gets messy because the character is merged with Moriarty. But, hey, Natalie Dormer is awesome. I hope to see better depictions soon.
• Moriarty story with Adler as character submitted for the The Mammoth Book of Moriarty Stories.
  
• In the works: a new Emily story to send to the nice publishers in Hong Kong who seem to like my work. a QDSF story, and  maybe a Cthulthu piece for one of the several options currently open. And maybe a Jack the Ripper story for editor who asked me to think about one this morning. May also be getting a reprint out as part of a friend's tea-selling business; we'll see how that goes. Revisions to the lesbian cyberpunk erotic novel continue apace. Werewolves and other stuff hanging about and periodically picked back up.
• Accepted thus far: "The Cask and the Amontillado," a queer retelling of Poe's story, by Tales of the Unanticipated

More house stuff, work stuff, publishing stuff, Mom stuff to wade through. Hoping some things get less stressful soon, as then there will be more writing.
