Follow the Butterflies

Earlier this week I received my contributor's copy of Emerald Tales which includes my story Empty Box Motel, and a story by KC Shaw, Cult of the Butterflies (which is fantastical sci-fi brilliance), and a very pretty well-put together magazine it is. If you haven't written anything yet for the magazine, I urge you to do so. Their 'Masks or Appearances can be Deceiving' deadline is October 1st.

On another note, they have a second Follow the Butterflies issue out today - a science fiction, fantasy and horror edition - and it includes a little something by a certain Mercedes M. Yardley.

Bulls, Butterflies and Chimpanzees

Okay, which Aquarian did it, fess up... Chester Zoo evacuated as Chimpanzees escape.* I am officially setting up an altar to my Crystal Bull.

Prepare for a squee moment...

Diana Lyles has accepted my dark fantasy story, Empty Box Motel, for issue one of Emerald Tales. It's a themed issue - Follow the butterflies. If you haven't already done so, check out their submission guidelines. The themes for the next two issues are, 'Masks or Appearances can be deceiving', and 'Winter Solstice'. Plus, they have a very nice pay rate. Sending special thanks to Kate Shaw who mentioned the mag on her blog and had me clicking all the way to Ralan. Plus, she got into the issue too (of course she did). Double squee.

Is squee unproffesional?
