Six Red Pennies




Releasing a major-squee. My short story, Postcard Wings above Blackpool Sands, is to appear in issue one of KV Taylor's The Red Penny Papers - I should book a train seat and celebrate atop the legendary Blackpool Tower.

Beware, champagne corks (or more likely candy floss sticks) expected to tumble down mid party.

*Side Note: When the tower opened in 1893 it cost sixpence to go to the top - I wonder if they were red?

Thanks, Adam.

With Katey at the helm, it's going to rock (ooh - I feel a Blackpool rock pun budding).

Anthony Rapino said...

Big congrats! Wonderful news; I can't wait to read this.

Sixpence is cheap for a tower. They should have got two :-)

Congrats on the acceptance...

Woot! And maybe, even, squee.

Katey said...

Well, you already know how thrilled I am. But let me say it again: eeee!

Wish I could share a bottle with you. Think of me as you're throwing corks at the unwitting Blackpool vacationers. (And residents, but I'm sure they know better than to venture too near.)

Huzzah! Bad ass indeed. I've found some green pennies around here lately...that's not right, is it?

Aaron, get your boys to magic a colour change.
