I got some great news this week. A short story, featuring Dr. Enid Seward, will be in the "Day of the Dark" anthology edited by author Kaye George Kaye George. We screamed and did a happy dance! I know it's a small step, but I needed some encouragement. Three queries out on the first Enid Seward novel (one for almost 2 months), and silence. I'm trying to be hopeful, consider the agent who has had it since January 1 gave me a 'positive rejection' in less than a week on my first novel and asked to see a full ms on this one. In light of the good news, I'm planning to go to Bouchercon in Toronto. Here's a link if you're interested in the anthology, which comes out in August: http://kayegeorge.wixsite.com/kaye-ge...

Kaye has written some fascinating historical fiction (which my DH is now reading), so take a look at her work.

SQUEEEE!

Great news! We have pre-order information for the "Day of the Dark" anthology edited by Kaye George. I had the privilege to read several stories in the collection, and they are wonderful!! The range of settings and characters means there's something for any mystery fan. No ISBN yet, nor info on electronic versions, but you're getting a big book for $14.99. Thank you for all your support, and a HUGE thanks to Kaye, who was a delightful collaborator and organizer. http://wildsidepress.com/day-of-the-dark-stories-of-eclipse-edited-by-kaye-george-paperback-pre-order/

PS: My story is "An Eclipse of Hearts" and features Dr. Enid Seward, the protagonist from my (as yet) unpublished series set in modern-day Vancouver, with a paranormal twist.

I received my copies of "Day of the Dark: Stories of Eclipse," and they look wonderful! I'm speaking briefly on Monday at a local college and giving away a free copy. They're also available in in paperback at Wildside Press or for Kindle at Amazon.

Thanks again to Kaye George, our wonderful editor, and to the many libraries and planetariums and other educational organizations supporting eclipse events on Monday.

Just another reminder--be safe when you view the eclipse, with approved safety glasses or through a pinhole viewer. Dr. Enid Seward does not want to treat anyone for burned-out retinas in her ER on Monday....
