Halloween Sip: “A Hundred Lonely Halloweens”

October 13, 2012 McKay3 Comments

This coming Wednesday, October 17, we’ll have a new short story coming out as part of Torquere Press’ Halloween Sip line called “A Hundred Lonely Halloweens”. As with “Steam Heat”, the prompt limited us to 8000 words, so we had another challenge in keeping our plot manageable and yet reasonably fleshed out within the set parameters, but we’re quite pleased with the results.

We’re both fans of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and we used that as inspiration for our own bittersweet ghost story, and we tried to infuse Micah and Richard’s story with the – ahem – spirit of the season. Speaking for myself, I was eager to write for this holiday prompt because I love Halloween, and I’ve always loved incorporating elements of folklore, legend, and superstition into Halloween-themed works.

We’ll post an announcement once the story is available on Wednesday and add it to our short stories page. We hope our readers enjoy this little Halloween treat!

We just received word from Torquere that our sixth story (although in publishing order it will be third!), “A Hundred Lonely Halloweens”, will be published on October 17th! This is so exciting, because as McKay pointed out, we will have had releases in September, October, November, and December of this year! We don’t have a date for Caribbean Blues yet, but if it’s in January, that would be awesome. Keep your eyes on this space, hopefully there will be more good news to come!

We just got notification that Dreamspinner Press has accepted our Christmas story for their Advent Calendar collection!!! We’ll need to change the title, so we can’t say what that will be yet, but we’re very pleased to have yet another title coming out, this time in December!

Now that Steam Heat is out, I thought I’d mention our next certain publication. 🙂

On November 7th, Torquere will be publishing “Bay Leaves and Bachelors” as part of their Spice It Up series. I won’t say too much about it yet, but anyone who likes how we write romance will probably enjoy it. And stay tuned… we have 3 other stories out for consideration, and hopefully one or more of them will be accepted!!!
