flash published in fictive dream

I just realized recently that I've appeared in the UK journal FICTIVE DREAM more often than in any other journal. They had a sort of celebration every year, "Flash Fiction February," with a new flash every day for a month and I was included more than five years running (six? maybe seven?). They've recently started Micro Mondays and ended Flash February. A creature of habit, I wanted something in February anyway! Here's "Fish Oil."

I've never met her in person, but I really like Laura Black, the editor, and enjoy our correspondence.

Kristen, the EIC at Mad Creek, has promised that she'll send the edited manuscript of THE LUNATICS' BALL by early next week and suddenly I'm overwhelmed by all there is to do, the marketing materials, permissions, a form on the cover I didn't even see until today. I've accomplished a lot already, particularly on the illustrations. But it feels like a lot. She's leaving for AWP and I remember I stopped at the Mad Creek Books booth and talked to her at last year's AWP, and sent her the manuscript shortly after. So it's been less than a year from submission to being awarded runner-up for the Gournay Prize to receiving a publication offer to almost having the manuscript ready and edited. Seems amazingly fast.
