Write One, Sub One

I’ve submitted “Arboghasz Dal Axander Rides Again,” an 11.8k-word novelette that brings back my corpulent, far-future master criminal, Luff Imbry, to Lightspeed magazine.
 
Has been a while since I posted in here. I quit writing shorts for a year or two! Anyway, a novelette that was originally a forum competition winner here back in 2017 has finally been published in Stupefying Stories (after submitting it three years ago - yes, it's been quite the wait!). It's a pay-to-read though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Y5MYS59

Tidied up some older shorts and submitted them to various places, though the older a story is the less hope I have as you tend to find your writing moves on after a while. But you never know! I once sold a story after 28 submissions :)
 
“Arboghasz Dal Axander Rides Again” has bounced off Asimov's, so I've sent it to Clarkesworld. Fall of the horse, get right back on.

On the plus side, "The Mule," is a sale to Fantasy & Science Fiction.

So on we go.

You too Huh? I blame the former president who will not be named!!

I've written a very few minor things over the last few years...virtually nothing finished and no submissions in years...I got so disguised and disillusioned with all the rejections that I resolved just to write and self-publish...may still be there...but.... as of this week

I've pulled out and finished several pieces somewhere on the prose poem to the microfiction area and on the speculative to traditional spectrum as well as a few traditional poems and have made seven submissions ... two of those already back and resubmitted to other markets.

also posted a microfiction into this month's contest here.

as Joni Mitchell says,
'Round and Round and Round in the Circle Game'

“Arboghasz Dal Axander Rides Again” was a no-sale at Clarkesworld, so I decided to be a patriotic Canadian and send it to your premier SF magazine, On Spec. They're notorious for taking a long time to respond, so I'll probably forget all about it until I get an email.

Also, "The Ghost Wrangler" is now officially a sale to Ed Willlett's upcoming anthology, Shapers of Worlds, Volume II, because the Kickstarter campaign succeeded in funding the project.
 
Reviving again.

I sold “Arboghasz Dal Axander Rides Again,” to Neo-Opsis, a neat little Canadian science fiction magazine, well worth checking out.

And I sold "The Emir's Falcon" to Shadowpaw Press, a Canadian small publisher run by fellow SF author Edward Willett.

"The Cat and the Merrythought" (original title The Ghost-Wrangler") is in the Moksha queue at F&SF.
 
I’ve made my forty-third sale to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. “The Cat and the Merrythought” is a reprint from Edward Willett’s anthology, Shapers of Worlds: Volume Two. It caps off the Baldemar series.

And the latest Cascor story, “The Dire Delusion,” will run in F&SF’s May/June issue. I submitted it back in July 2021.
