All Ten Drabbles Accepted

I’m happy to report that all ten of my science-fiction drabbles for the “Second Wave” anthology have been accepted by Starry Eyed Press. Publication date TBD.

Although this is a nonpaying call, I confess to a sentimental fondness for this publisher, because the editor has always been kind and very supportive of my work.

In addition to publishing one of my science fiction short stories, “New Buyers for Old Earth” in their first anthology, “Cosmic Convocation”, ten additional science fiction drabbles in “First Contact”, the preceding book in the science-fiction drabble series to which “Second Wave” belongs, they also published my non-winning entry to their inaugural drabble contest, "Pocket SciFi".




(Perhaps I should reconsider my fondness since they did not judge my entry to be among the top three!)
But when I joined my first Facebook writers’ group, years ago (about 2017) the editor (A.S. Charly) was the first to ❤️ my writing. Over those first years, our respective writing efforts shared numerous anthologies together.
Finally, she generously posted a selfie with my book, Hungry Thing.  She's good people, and a pleasure to work with.
