IWW Members' Publishing Successes



Another great publishing week for IWW members. Congratulations to the following:


Ghost Walk, a mystery based on my experiences as a retired archaeologist, indigenous people I or someone in my family knew personally, & criminals I knew personally, including an ex-husband, etc., will be published by 4RV Publishing. I hope they keep the working title, because I love it!  http://www.4rvpublishing.com/reinke-and-rice.php

My poem, “Moonwalk,” is up at New Verse News. http://www.newversenews.com/

My flash, “Dancing fo the Wizard,” originally wiritten with the Practice group, has been accepted by Cynic Magazine for their Fall issue. http://www.cynicmag.com

The prose poem I “yahoo'ed” just a week or so ago (“The Fallen Flower,” pg. 71 in The Prose-Poem Project, http://www.prose-poems.com/  is now up. This editor (Ellen Clay, a prose poet in her own right) is really amazing. Even if you don't like prose poems, check out how perfectly designed her online litmag is: http://www.prose-poems.com/pagetwoX.html

Although I have no memory of the transaction, I have been informed that my novel, The Confederate War Bonnet, is selling on Nook Books  for 99 cents. I'd ask my publisher about the deal, but he steadfastly remains  bankrupt. Lucky for me I married into money ($37.85 as I remember it, plus a 1978 Yugo). Enjoy.

I'm celebrating today because I successfully maneuvered both Kindle and CreateSpace formats to publish paperback and Kindle versions of The Mermaid Quilt and Other Tales, a collection of 8 stories and a number of poems.  And to thank all of you from NOVELS-L, PRACTICE, and here, the WRITING list, where I lurk constantly but seldom comment! You can read the first story for free at http://www.amazon.com/The-Mermaid-Quilt-Other-Tales/dp/1479180971/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

I only heard of this small, Scottish publication recently. No pay for contributors, but the magazine looks nice with some decent writing & they're friendly. I'm a big fan of nice, decent & friendly.
Thanks again to Fiction for the feedback on this story - it was very helpful.

I just found out that my book, The Facepainter Murders, was a semifinalist in the Kindle Book Review Best Books of 2012 contest. Comes with a bright yellow badge for the book cover, web-site, etc. Quite exciting for me.
