Pretty good news…
I submitted a story over to The Age of Blood & Snow last night. I got a hold request this morning. These guys are fast. “Tricksters” is a Vikings vs. Indians tale set in Oklahoma that was inspired by the Heavener Runestone. I saw the thing once when I was a kid, and it’s always stuck with me.
Now a hold request isn’t an acceptance, I know, and I’ve had my share of rejected holds, but the news seems to be pretty good:
Well done.
I am seriously considering “Tricksters” for the anthology. I will let you know in June.
To my knowledge, only one story has been accepted so far…a “conte cruel” that apparently is of exceptional quality.
I have to say, editor Skadi meic Beorh has been very nice to work with so far. He’s open to queries and before I started writing, I sent him my basic idea and got a couple of pointers on what they did/didn’t want to see.
I also want to thank Barry and Natalie for looking over the story and offering a few pointers.
