It's been another good week in the publishing world for me.

Tuesday I received a rejection letter from Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. It was one of the good kind though. I'm calling it an almost made it in. The editor wrote Up in Smoke was "enjoyable reading" but didn't quite suite any of the open spaces they have now. While I'd much rather have an acceptance letter, having an editor call my work enjoyable made me feel darn good.

Then Wednesday morning when I checked my email, I had an acceptance from Golden Visions Magazine for Prey. It will be in their April online issue. I'll include the link later on.

I sent Up in Smoke back out the same afternoon to Mysterical-e. Got my toes crossed on an acceptance there. And, I'm working on another to send back to EQ. One of my "goals" for this year is to break in to EQ so I think I'm getting close.

I'm still pretty excited about the win at Lee Lofland's blog last week. You can read Ante Up here.
