Finding a Keeper at Rebel Books

by

1b_CustomColorScheme_t39I just finished reading the ICL newsletter (always packed with interesting info!) and came across a new market listing at Rebel Books LLP. But what caught my eye was not the children’s fiction anthology that they plan to publish next spring.

Oh, no. I zeroed in on the YA anthology that Rebel Books will be publishing in early 2010. Here’s why:

The first publication by Rebel Books LLP will be an anthology of stories with a supernatural theme aimed at young adults. We are looking for submissions for this anthology covering all manner or supernatural creatures, including vampires, witches, shape-shifters – so let your imagination run wild.


That’s what I’m talking about! I’ve got just the story to send. Or will have, after I make a few little edits. And if you’ve got a YA story that’s fit for the first Rebel Book anthology, you might want to start your polishing. Submissions are due by November 30th! Or start working on a story for the children’s anthology.

Find out more information at the Rebel Book website.

Meanwhile, I’ll be trying to figure out how to use the quote thingie in a post.

Tooting My Horn Tuesday on Restaurant Tips

by

If you’re a regular reader here at the Cathy C. Hall of Fame, then you know on Tuesdays, I like to share my published work, so that you, the regular reader, can say, “Well, dang! I guess she does actually get published. I thought she just played around on the internet all day.”

I know that’s what my mom says. (Not that she’s a regular reader here on the blog. Mom wouldn’t read a personal message from the Pope if it came through an email.) There’s also a matter of Mom being a tad sensitive to what may (or may not) be written about her and her activities. But I think this might be one time that Mom would be okay with me telling a story on her. And because mostly, this column has more to do with Dad.

So, here’s Restaurant Tips from Modern Senior Living. And yes, that last bit about Mom and Dad really did happen. (But no one needs to tell Mom I shared this story, or the picture, with you and a gazillion folks on the internet.)
