"Anodos Amongst the Elves" sells to New Myths!
Just heard from Scott Barnes that he has accepted my story "Anodos Amongst the Elves" for the Fall issue of New Myths. This makes my second sale to Scott and I'm thrilled about it.
"Anodos" was in part inspired by taking courses on fantasy literature at York university in the 1990s, and how reading things like George McDonald's bizarro book Phantastes (1858) clashed with so much of what I had considered fantasy (the book reads like a Victorian acid trip, and not the friendly Lewis Carol kind). It's also about being an ex-punk rocker and going to unvierstiy in the wake of the death of my band. Scott was kind enought to proclaim it "Ivy League Grit." Ha! I invented a genre and didn't even know it!
I seem to be on a roll with sales. Three victories in three weeks. Can't say it is going to last any longer but it feels damn good.
Huzzah!
