(I quickly whipped this up for a friend over at LJ who tagged me with “make up a fictional memory about us.” Since it’s fiction, I figured I might as well post it here on my writing blog…!)
I don’t really like to think too much about that night. We were drinking too hard, Coz, you, […]

Story Update

drupagliassotti @ March 16, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Alas, Permuted Press has issued its TOC, and my story isn’t in it. I’ll have to find another market for it, although because it’s a Lovecraftian based work, the possibilities are a little limited. We’ll see…
On the other hand, getting the implicit rejection (the editor didn’t send out individual emails to those of us […]

Hurry Up and Wait

drupagliassotti @ February 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

I’m still waiting to hear the verdict on my submission to Permuted Press’s cross-genre Cthulhu anthology; just got an email saying that the editor has left the anthology and the second volume might not make. That will be disappointing, if true. I’m really hoping my story is accepted; I had a load of fun writing […]

The editor asked me for a revision of the story in August, shortly after I learned that my mother […]

Magic & Mechanica

drupagliassotti @ October 25, 2007 # No Comment Yet

I just received the contract from Rob Santa for “Terminus,” which Jo Gerrard and I wrote for Magic & Mechanica. He said they’re hoping to have the anthology ready for publication by the end of November. That’d be awesome if true, but my experiences with putting together Midnight Lullabies leads me to suspect that he […]

Permuted Press: Still Working

drupagliassotti @ October 16, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Just got a note from John Sunseri, the editor of the cross-genre Cthulhu anthology, in response to the query I’d sent last month. He said that he’s still working on all the submissions and I’ll hear back again soon. At least his email didn’t get caught by the spam filter!
Alas, the contact email I had […]

Recycled Stories

drupagliassotti @ October 5, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Just for the heck of it, I’ve submitted “Bookmarked” to Best New Paranormal Romance 3. It may be too romance-light for the anthology, but the worst that can happen is that it’s turned down, right? Might as well try.
EDITED: And I also submitted “Pan de los Muertos,” which was published in 2003, to the new […]

"Bookmarked" Is Online

drupagliassotti @ October 2, 2007 # No Comment Yet

My story “Bookmarked” is now available at Reflection’s Edge. It’s fluffy. I have a few scenes written for a sequel that would involve the same characters and a naked, well-hung werewolf, but I haven’t quite pinned down the plot yet.

Bookmarked Accepted

drupagliassotti @ September 21, 2007 # No Comment Yet

“Bookmarked” accepted by Reflection’s Edge, which published my “Defender of the Faith” last August. “Bookmarked” is a fluffy contemporary fantasy. Don’t know its ETA yet.
