Horror | Cathy C. Hall Writes

There’s nothing like a good witch story to get you in the mood for Halloween, is there?

Um, this isn’t exactly a good witch story. It’s more about a bad witch. But I had jolly good fun writing this tale. And Kate Wolford, editor over at Enchanted Conversation, asked if she could use it at the Diamonds and Toads blog to promote the Hansel and Gretel issue, soon to be released at Enchanted Conversation.

Naturally, I said, “Yes, dearie.” And if I’m being perfectly honest, I kind of cackled. Hope you’ll cackle, too, when you read “Not Exactly Innocent,” by yours truly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (That’s me, cackling.)

What can I say about the Market of the Month?

How about…

1. It’s kinda late.

2. It’s an anthology looking for humorous submissions.

3. It’s about Monster Mashups.

I’m a big fan of mashups (where you take two of something, like a song, and mash it together to make a whole of something). I’m a big fan of humor. And, I’m a big fan of horror. So when I saw Groanology, it spoke to me. And what it said was, “Cathy C. Hall, here’s your crazy market of the month. Finally!”

Fortunately, I’ve got a little time on my hands to write this story. I need two monsters and a humorous plot. And I need to keep the witty words short (1200 to 3200) and turn them in by June 1st.

So, there’s your Market of the Month, finally. What have you got to say?
