Now that I no longer actually edit these anthologies, I've wanted to submit a story to one, especially since the group uses blind submissions, so the editors do not know who wrote the story until all selections are made. Wicked Abandoned is the new anthology from the NEHW and I'm pleased to announce that my story "The Space Between" has been accepted. It deals with a rather different take on the theorized Rapture of the church, but not just the Christian one. Anyway, not really horror as much as, well, one of my stories that at times defy genre-defining. But I was pretty happy with it, and very happy editors Rob Smales and Scott Goudsward accepted it. Thankfully it was blind submission so they didn't know it was me until the end. There's a whole other broo-haha around the publication where others have decided that a "content warning" was needed, though one never has before. It's a horror anthology, people. A part of me thinks my story was the major trigger. If that's the case, honestly, I am pretty worried for out society these days. The day a content warning is needed because someone might be triggered yet is reading a book like this, I think we've lost our way. End of lecture. Just needed to vent somewhere, and since no one reads this particular blog, may as well stick it in here.
