Author chat!

McKay

To celebrate the completion of the Time is Eternity Daily Dose and their 5th anniversary, Dreamspinner Press is hosting a chat this Saturday, May 5, at the Literary Nymphs Yahoo Group. They’ve invited all the Dreamspinner authors to come by to chat about their work, and one lucky participant will win a Kindle Fire! I’m not sure what time the chat is going to start, but I’ll update with that info once I have it.

Unfortunately, I’m going to be AFK over the weekend, so I won’t be able to attend, but Ari said she’d be there if she could.

Time Is Eternity anthology

McKay

Our first sale was a submission to the Time Is Eternity anthology that Dreamspinner Press will be publishing in June, and since we’ve signed the contract and gotten the “new author” info, it’s official!

Assuming we get to keep the title we chose on submission, our story is called “Once and Future Love”, and it was written for an anthology that focuses on time travel. Unfortunately, we don’t have an official blurb yet, and the anthology isn’t listed in the Dreamspinner store yet, but I’ll update with all that info when we get it. 😀

The anthology is going to be released in June, and there will be two ways to purchase our story. The anthology is being released as a month-long Daily Dose package, so if you purchase the package, you’ll get a new, original m/m romance every day from June 1-June 30.

However, if you don’t want to commit to the full package, all the stories in the package will be released for individual sale on June 1 as well! Ours is about 14,000 words, so it falls in the “Nap-size dream” category, and it’ll cost $2.99 for the digital download.

That’s all we know so far! We still have to go through an editing process, but we’ll keep everyone updated once the blurb and purchase links are available!

We did it!!

As I mentioned in the previous post, we selected a call for submissions prompt and wrote a story in under 18,000 words for it. The deadline was March 1, and we submitted it on February 11. We got our response today…

ACCEPTANCE!

I don’t want to go into too much detail because we haven’t signed the contract yet, but they want to publish our story in an up-coming anthology! There isn’t enough squee in the world!

I’m just… I don’t even know how to describe it. In a few months, there will be a story that we wrote in (digital) print, and we’ll get paid for having written it, and people will (we hope!) buy and read it, and we’ll officially be published writers. It’s the culmination of a lifelong dream, and I can scarcely believe it’s coming true at last.

Once the deal is locked in, I’ll share info about when the story will be released and how to get it for anyone who’s interested. For now, however, we’re just going to do a happy dance of joy and probably eat cake to celebrate. Because this is an occasion that definitely calls for cake!
