Chiaroscuro Accepts Trash Cat Poem

Chizine.com have accepted my poem 'Trash Cat.' I'm so pleased, Chizine is a wonderful venue for dark poetry.

Chizine publication are running an interesting competition (to promote Derryl Murphy's new novel Napier's Bones) calling for stories or fictional invention/concepts. The seventeenth century John Napier was a mathematician, and had interests in alchemy, necromancy and the Book of Revelation. It would be so interesting to write a story focussing on maths.

Thanks to Anne-Mhairi for details of another competition, write a fantasy short-story for a chance to win an Apple-ipad.

oooh, and a tweet up at @CuentoMag.
oooh, and another.

    Lynda: a monster made of numbers could be pretty scary.

    Hey, Sam: yep it would be nice to win an i-pad, won't it.

    Thanks Eliabeth and Milo.

    Sadly, not a pro-sale, not for poetry at least not according to duotrope. It would cound torwards HWA membership though. I might be eligible for them from my poetry. Maybe I'll join next year.

    Congratulations from me too.

    I'm starting up a 'Critiquing Crusaders' program, where participants in the Second Crusade can find other writers to exchange critiques with or form critiquing circles. If you're interested, come by The Kelworth Files to check it out!
