Hildie read the news of Cushing's success, and feared for the fate of decency.
I am pleased to announce that John Skipp has purchased my short story “All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Piggy Class” for his forthcoming mass market anthology Werewolves & Shapeshifters: Encounters With The Beast Within (due out this fall from Black Dog & Leventhal).
Werewolves & Shapeshifters is a follow-up to last year’s successful Zombies: Encounters With The Hungry Dead.
Skipp has also acquired my short story “The Bureaucratic Nativity of Panda Christ” for a forthcoming “mutational” issue of The Magazine of Bizarro Fiction which he is guest-editing (also due out this fall from Eraserhead Press).
I’ve known about both of these sales for awhile, but have been keeping them hush-hush until I got the go-ahead from Skipp to announce them. But then… um…he announced them (and, in the process, made some complimentary remarks regarding my work) on the BizarroCon thread at Shocklines.
With these two stories coming out at nearly the same time as my first book, How To Eat Fried Furries, it looks like my readers will have a busy autumn!
