Since I’ve signed the contracts, I figure I can announce it here.
I’ve sold my short story, “The Curious Case of Rabbit and the Temple Goddess,” to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine!
I wrote this story for a short story workshop last year.
It’s a great example of the writer not having a clue about what she’s written.
A lot of people in the workshop liked this story, including the instructor. I still thought I’d never be able to sell it, that no one would buy it. I thought it was too weird, too much of a mash up: It’s a mystery, set in Tang dynasty China, involving the law of the time.
And yet, I just sold it.
It makes me wonder about some of my other short stories, if I should send out more of them, instead of just going the indie publish route immediately.
This sale means that I’ll have two short stories in print this year. The first one will come out in April, in the “Unnatural Worlds” anthology. I’ll let you know when this story is available.
There is other news as well, that I’ll announce when I can.
@lrcutter w00t!
