IWW Member's Publishing Successes

---

Dave Gregory

I've published another story with a very long writing history. Stray Cat in Venice was written by hand, in a notebook, in 1997, while I sat on a bench in the park where the story takes place. The piece was workshopped by another writer's group sometime before the turn of the millennium.

Pretty much forgotten until I rewrote it last summer, it was only rejected four times before a small Canadian online journal picked it up. The story has a very unlikable narrator but, don't worry, he gets what's coming to him.

I'm happy to have a triolet up at Stanzaic Stylings.

Jeannette de Beauvoir

So I just learned that the second in the Irene Adler mystery series, Assignment: Robin Hood, will come out next year from Echelon Press.

I also have a February 1st pub. date for the first in the Trinity Pierce mystery series, Murder Most Academic, from Mainly Murder Press.

A third yahoo—not for a mystery, this time—is in the works but I'm not permitted to announce it yet. But all in all it looks like 2013 will be good for me!

Due to a hole in the universe, a couple us at The Internet Review of Books turned in a review for the same book. Once the duplication had been discovered, and in light of the fact that one review had already been published at IRB (yes, I'm the slowpoke), Gary Presley generously offered to publish my version on his blog.

A friend published an anthology of stories centered in Lowell, Mass., and I'm honored to be a contributor. But that friend published it six months ago and just got around to telling me in passing the other day. I sprung for the Kindle version. Long story short, there are no links in the table of contents, making it the very devil to navigate. I won't mention the title unless/until he adds links.
