Completed, formatted, and submitted my original Lovecraftian (oxymoron?) story "Dentata" to Innsmouth Free Press's open call for their all-women anthology She Walks in Shadows.
Skin of my teeth, day of the deadline, etc., you know the drill. I had so much fun writing this story, even if keeping it under 4,000 words was a challenge. (Did Lovecraft himself ever publish anything that short?) I went for an Appalachian Gothic setting, centered on one of the most terrifying disasters that's ever happened in that region: the early 20th-century blight that rendered the American Chestnut nearly extinct.
I'll hear back from them "early in 2015," whenever that is. Wish me luck!
