And Now for an Ad Break

From their website:
"Suddenly Press, a small but determined publishing house newly transplanted to Silicon Valley, California, USA publishes Best of the Rest, a series of best of the year anthologies showcasing the best short speculative fiction from the small press, online, and non-American publishers."
The reason for its inclusion in my blog is that my daughter has a story included. For details on the book, click here.
And for her story originally published in Abyss and Apex, an online science fiction/fantasy journal, click here.

I also received a letter today accepting two poems I submitted to our local newspaper. One is to be published early August and one early September. I have had good success with the newspaper and with one magazine, I have been trying to broaden my list of publications lately but after several rejection letters - very encouraging letters, but still rejections - I decided to fall back on my good old standbys. I'm still waiting to hear from the magazine.

the coolest thing about writing sci-fi is coming up with all the cool names for aliens and such. well done.

here in the u.s. there's a scam going in where poets are solicited for material to be included in a 'national anthology'... then they sell you a $75 book with your poem in it. i figured it was a scam because my brother wrote a short 'tongue-in-cheek' poem that got rave reviews accepted for publication.

hopefully you won't fall for something similar, since you needen't pay to be published.

Your daughter's writing is stunning - she will surely do well with her writing. It's not easy to write good sci-fi, but she certainly achieves it. What imagination - but a very grounded imagination which is what you need to write good sci-fi I believe. A captivating read - please pass on my admiration and congrats.
