Congrats Angie!
Webfriend/editing partner Angie Poole has a short story up at Infuze: A Stone's Throw. It's an "Aunt Myrna" story, so you know it's gonna be good. (And it is.)
Way to go, woman!
Way to go, woman!

Contest Starting, Voting Ends
Dragons, Knights and Angels magazine has announced the theme(s) of their 2007 short story contest: 1. Secrets, 2. New Life -- or choose both themes and enter twice. Not sure if that means a story about the secrets of new life (a la "Herbert West, Re-animator") is a no-no, or if it gets entered twice. Entry fee: $5 (with over $125 in prizes). Last year a number of good entries that didn't make the final three were picked up after the fact. Since DKA is a paying market, there's a possibility of re-couping your investment even if you're not a prize winner. So don't be a scairdy, crank up your steampunk Underwood and get going!
The voting period for Infuze magazine's "Best of 2006" poll is winding down. (Polls close at midnight EST on Thursday night, February 22nd.) If you haven't voted, get on over there. My poem Saint Francis and the Birds is doing well in the count according to recent voters, so consider voting for the excellent poems of Mike Duran (Seasons' Dance) or Marcia Lee Laycock (One Winter's Day), instead. Share the votes. Sharing makes friends.

The Anthologized Man
Just got an email that my story "The Fortunate Purgatory of Arthur MacArthur" is up for inclusion in the anthology, Distant Passages, Volume 2. No word on projected availability date, but if you'd like to check out Volume 1, here's the deal. Thanks Bill and Selena and Mir and all the rest at Dragons, Knights & Angels Magazine and Double-Edged Publishing.
In other anthology-related news, my poem "Saint Francis and the Birds" is currently leading the pack over at the Infuze -- Best of 2006 poll. Unless there's a ton of last-minute, eBay-style sniping, my inclusion in the Top Ten is secure, so here are a couple other poems to consider:

VOTE for the poem and story of your choice. The poll options aren't linked to the selections, so let me draw your attention to a few of the short stories:
One vote per poll per person, or possibly IP address -- you can vote for a story and a poem.
