I have to admit, though I haven’t forgotten about Foody Fridays, the fact it’s now June somehow past me by. I owe you a good selection of Victorian ketchups! In the meantime, I have been keeping busy. Ravenous Romance put out a call for subissions for a fairy-tale inspired LGBT anthology, and I submitted a [...]

When people think of War Poetry it’s usually divvied up between the patriotic stuff and the anti-war poetry, especially the first world war. At work we’ve got a large selection of WW1 Christmas cards, mostly sent by soldiers. A lot were drawn by a soldier in a unit then copied to make a card for [...]

Quick roundup: Rejections from both Flashquake and Ellora’s Cave. I think I might dig out or write a few more flashfic for Flashquake (just scribbled a vampire scene for mininano), and I’m going to find another 2000 words for the selkie story to submit it to a Samhain collection.
