Are You on the Prowl for a Place to Publish?

I am such a sucker for alliteration. I’m also a sucker for short fiction and getting my stories published in fun anthologies. Maybe you are, too. So why don’t you write something for A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl?

Mozark Press has just released A Shaker of Margaritas: Hot Flash Mommas, but apparently the editor’s hungry for more stories of romance, mystery, suspense, humor, well, any genre, really, as long as it’s set in modern times and has a “woman of a certain age” prowling about. And FYI: that age is a Baby Boomer, born between 1946 and 1964.

Start writing your 1,000 to 3,000 word story now and you’ll be ready to submit when January 1st rolls around. And you know, you don’t have to be a cougar to write about ’em. But why let your characters have all the fun?

Thanks, Cath!

Hey, cool! Thanks Ms. Cathy C! Yeah, I'd definitely have to write fiction on that deal…*sigh* LOL

Hmmmm….since I have a one track mind, I'm think Casey might have a kookie grandma I could write about. Thanks for the heads up!

You're all very welcome. I'll look for your names among the list of contributors. 😉

Well I definitely fit the profile…but I've gotten so used to writing in either a MG or YA voice, I couldn't imagine writing from my own age! This could be good, or it could be bad…

Ooooh, Vicky, I mentioned you over at Finders & Keepers. Gosh, you're one of those top 25 children's authors ion Georgia! So you must have the MG and YA voice down pretty well!

This is great, Cath. Being of a "certain age" (although I haven't prowled yet — I lead a very dull life!) I have a story or two that might fit. Thanks for being inspiring, as you always are.

Oh yeah! I know a few. I'll have to change the names to protect the guilty, and embellish a lot.

Y'all know what I always say when writing my stories…"If you know Cathy or even said hello to her in the grocery store, you'll probably end up in one of her stories. Cleverly disguised, of course."Can't wait to read your stories, aj and Linda!

This is the sort of story opportunity that would be fun to do with several girlfriends "of a certain age"! Sounds like a rollicking great way to spend an afternoon.
