Well, i didn't make the Samhain anthology cut. I had two days of being bummed and now I'm back in the saddle. I'm reediting and finding room for more scenes. The characters are being developed further and I'm liking the story better. This was a story that I wrote specificaly for this anthology so the way I lookl at it it is a bonus completed wip that I otherwise would not have. I have a new publisher picked out for it. I'm setting my sights on Siren Publishing. They are a pub I tried with Oasis, my very first story. I didn't know much about writing romance then but I've improved. I hope. I'm confident, mostly.
So, hopefully by tonight I will submit this story, Gamble's Game and it eight weeks max, or so, I will know if I need to try another pub or be jumping up and down for joy. I can't submit it to cobblestone-press because I already have one story submitted for their wicked line, same goes for Ellora's Cave. I like the look and feel of Siren and am interested in broading my horizons.
