Yes, I live again! Quite an accomplishment after having a living creature wrenched from my throbbing innards. (He’s pretty cute for an innards-creature.) So, to celebrate my current not-quite-dead status, I return with a quick smattering of new good-lookin’ markets for you to peruse and enjoy. So, peruse. And enjoy! Pink Narcissus “We like strong writing, [...]

December 3rd, 2010 
Lorna D. Keach 
It’s been a tad slow around here as of late, and I blame the upcoming festive holiday season trying to kill us all. (I nearly strangled to death on a cord of Jingle Bells the other day when a Menorah jumped out into my path trying to trip me so the Secular Humanist Holly Wreath [...]

Harper Collins Does Something!
September 10th, 2010 Lorna D. Keach 
So, I was gonna do a post on the Horrors of Writer’s Block, but I couldn’t think of anything to write. (Ha!)

Now Accepting Submissions – Penguin Group!
August 13th, 2010 Lorna D. Keach

For three months. Honestly, I’m a little wary of [...]
