Where have I been? I've asked myself the same question. Great swathes of time seem to have been torn away from me this summer as the day-job overshadowed real life with a massive quilt of commitment.
But... I didn't stop writing. I am almost 50,000 words into the 'Asylum' novel - and frankly - it's a race between me and good writing friend and fellow ex-Prediction host Phil Ambler to see who gets there first. Keep running boy!
Short Stories and An Editor's Choice Award
I'd vowed to keep away from short stories as I hit novel madness - but sometimes - you just can't help it.
And this week, I'm honoured to announce that one of my latest stories, THE OSSILLATRICE SHIFT has received the Editor's Choice Award from James Ward Kirk Fiction, who have published the story in brand new anthology, BONES.

Bones is out in paperback and ebook:

Yup, life gets in the way sometimes. Congrats on your award, though! That's awesome! And nice to see you blogging again, too.
ReplyDeleteAll sounds good, Lily - congratulations.
ReplyDeleteSuper congrats on your publication and bonus award. I'm glad you're hitting it hard on the novel. Can't wait to see that, and while I'm waiting, I'll be slappin 5 bones to Amazon Kindle and reading me some Bones tonight.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! And Erin - I hope you enjoy clanking those bones ;-) x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news, Lily! And congrats on getting so much writing done, too!
ReplyDeleteApart from the ongoing serial for the Prediction, I have hardly written a thing for ages, not since the Zombie novel was concluded. I think he took a lot out of me. Looking forward to the FFF...
Well done with your short story, Lily and good luck with your novel.
