Amazing news!
My short story "Blood of Lilies, Blood of Lambs" has been accepted for an anthology titled The Darkness Within, to be published by Indigo Mosaic. The anthology, as you can tell by the title, is all about ways to represent our dark sides. This is right up my alley!
Of course, I had to send a short story I've written that features Natalie, the heroine of my third eBook (The Romanov Legacy). Nat, of course, is schizophrenic. In this story, Natalie is in France, sneaking into a chapel where an infamous event in the French Revolution took place. I won't say any more, but if you read the story, you get some backstory on Natalie's auditory hallucination (the angel Belial). He has a past, you know. He wasn't always someone's hallucination.
I'm deeply grateful to small and indie presses who are willing to read and accept work from writers who haven't made it big yet. There are a lot of us out there who work hard, love writing, and put our hearts and souls (and darknesses) onto the page. Someday we'll have the NYT bestseller under our belt, or a Pushcart, or a nod in a Best American anthology. Until then, it's wonderful to know that small publishers like Indigo Mosaic will keep publishing kick-ass stories in kick-ass anthologies. Rock on!!
