A Belated Valentine Message

At one minute to midnight on Valentine's Day (just got in from the office - the joys of running your own business), here's my message to you, dear readers...

Good News Abounds

There have been various triumphs, both large and small, amongst my blogging friends over the last week or two.

Moonrat's Contest

Just a couple of days after having my story accepted by Thuglit, I discovered I was joint winner of Moonrat's cover copy contest along with Josephine Damian. Now I'll have a Robert The Publisher T-shirt to add to my Thuglit one.

And speaking of Josephine...

She's enjoyed a double whammy, having also placed a story in an upcoming edition of Out of the Gutter magazine. Congrats to Josie. :)

Chris F Holm

Chris has not only had a new story appear in Spinetingler mag, his story Seven Days of Rain won the Spinetingler award for online short story of 2007.

And last, but most certainly not least...

McKoala

My favourite blogging-Scot-who-lives-in-Oz, McKoala, has bagged herself an agent. Words can't express how happy I am for the lovely McKoala. I've read several pieces of her work, from some startlingly good short stories, to her excellent YA novels, and I can tell you she deserves this break. Expect to see Sealsong on a bestseller list in the not-too-distant future.

Congatulations to everyone, here's hoping the good news keeps rolling.
