Drop THIS into conversation, baby!
There’s no way, really, for someone who is generally cagey about her literary ambitions and output, to casually mention that after a million years of saying that she would and hoping that she might and dreaming of the day when she would be, she is officially published.
So to hell with casual!
HEY YOU GUYS!
Crow Toes Quarterly describes itself as “filled to the gills with ‘playfully dark’ short stories, poetry and artwork for children nine and up” and their latest issue includes a story by me! It’s called Broken Glass and to say that I am excited would not be the half of it. I’m really really really excited. And happy. And a lot of other slightly more complex stuff (including snackish for something but I can’t figure out what).
Subscribe! Buy the reasonably priced special print edition! Buy the even more reasonably (verging on ridiculously low) priced PDF! At the very least, check out their website and support their efforts to bring more deliciously shivery moments to young readers.
Hmmm. Maybe I’m snackish for raspberries. Or maybe I want to find raspberries at the bottom of a large glass of champagne…
My sincerest congratulations! Thinking of you.
Thanks, Miranda! So great to hear from you!
Awesome news! Congrats!
Thank you Annie — so glad you thought to stop by!
Congratulations! Of course you wouldn’t mention this in any of our recent emails
