I have been getting a story published in an anthology!
My story "FURNACE," a tender tale of sex and archaeology in the distant future, was one of about 30 stories selected from about 2000 submissions.
In the second part of the MOD Magic and variety show, they read off my name and story title along with all the others. Before that, they actually mentioned the plot of my story, along with a few other very interesting examples of what's in the book.
So-- yeah, I'm VERY happy to be a part of this. Not only the $200 and the feeling of acceptance as a writer, but my name is going to get out there-- this is a book that will most likely make it to #1 on Amazon for at least a little while. The first volume did, anyway. And I have the feeling Vol 2 will be even better, since they had so much to choose from.

Awesome! I am glad if your confidence increases because of this, as I think you should have confidence considering you're a fantastic fiction writer. Clearly I'm not the only one who thinks so! I will look forward to buying this to add to my growing Hammerschmidt book collection!
Aw, thanks, Alexei! Yes, my confidence continues to grow-- I'm getting inspired more and more, as I work on my short story collection. Two new short stories I like very much are bouncing around in my mind, competing to be written (I'm writing them both, bit by bit, whenever I have a spare moment).
And yesterday I finally got the Trueman Bradley book! Thanks so much to you and your publisher. I'm happy to be starting a collection of your work too.
