Happy Wednesday!
Now, I have quite a bit of news, so let's see if I remember it all.
First, I'm over at M. Pax's today for a Spacedock 19 interview. We're talking about science fiction and fantasy and a little about marketing. You can read the interview here.
Author and fellow Valley Writer Wayne White wrote up a wonderful review of my A to Z Flashes of Foxwick on his blog. He's fairly new to blogging, so please stop by and say hi. You can read the review here. By the way, A to Z Flashes of Foxwick is free at: iTunes, Kobo, Amazon, and Smashwords.
Last Thursday, I found out that a short story of mine won first place in a writing competition and is going to the next level. I'll have more details later, but it's my first first place win ever, so I'm pretty excited.
Also, I've been looking over my August goals, and I've decided to put off writing Nightmare Ever After for a week or so. I want to write it right, so I've decided it would be best to keep my focus on Gravity: The Complete Trilogy, writing the epilogues for it, and getting feedback, so I can format the print and ebooks of it. Then, in September, my focus can shift to writing Nightmare Ever After with a mid-to-late October release in mind for it.
Also, I'm sorry I have been a bit slow to comment back on blogs this week. We're short-staffed at work and I have a big manuscript to edit for a client, so that unfortunately has to come first.
So what have you been up to?

Congrats on your story! I took a few days off . . .and then got disorganized. So today . . it's back to the grind of getting things together - writing, prepping for the school year, etc.
Although I love writing . . .it's just when I've had a day off it feels like work for the first 5 minutes.
Congrats on taking first place for your short story. That is wonderful! I love the name Nightmare Ever After. Intriguing name for sure!

Congrats on first place in the contest. That's awesome. I sent out 6 queries yesterday and took a gorgeous photo of my black raspberry ice cream. Now, if I can just figure out Pinterest a little better....
