Here’s a quick one from a reader:

Thanks
I won’t bother you after I finish each story, but “A Second chance” is excellent. If it is his first published story, he has a great career ahead of him.

“A Second Chance” was written by Michael Grey out of Victoria Australia. KUDOS to Michael! You can follow his work at http://michaelgrey.blog.com/ and we wish him the very best in his writing career!
Well, it took longer than expected, but two of us here at Diascribe have stories that have now seen the light of day. RuneWright finally released the steampunk anthology Penny Dread Tales in print, Kindle and iPad formats. Quincy Allen has a story in it called Lasater’s Lucky Left about a cyborg gun-slinger in the 1860s that tangles horns with Chinese gangsters in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Terry got in a story called Sacred Ground that’s part steampunk and part paranormal horror. It’s your basic ”1870′s rich-kid finds shape-shifting natives in Quebec and fends off robot attack.”
The anthology is all steampunk, and at 400 pages (18 stories) devoted to every flavor of the sub-genre you can think of, it’s definitely worth the price of admission. Every flavor except a mad scientist… truth be told nobody submitted a mad scientist story to the editor. That’s kind of strange, now that I’m thinking about it. Anyway, if you’d like to see some of either Quincy’s or Terry’s work, pick up a copy (print or electronic) of Penny Dread Tales Volume One.
Pink Narcissus Press has another call out: “A Stranger Comes to Town Anthology.” For this one they are looking for fantasy stories involving imaginary or fantastic destinations of any kind. This one is strictly fantasy and science fiction stories without the emphasis on erotica like the last one. Stories should be between 3,000 and 6,000 words and in their hands by May 30th, 2011. They’re not a paying market, but a writing cred is a writing cred (up to a certain point.)
5X5, a quarterly print publication that does general, fantasy and sci-fi, has a call out for their next issue. They want stories that treat with illumination in some fashion. They also want stories that fit into poems or flash fiction under 500 words, so get CTRL-X ready when you’re editing. KEEP IT TIGHT, MARINES! They’re not a paying market, but with a name like 5X5, it has to be good. Or something like that. The deadline is May 1st, 2011 (and hopefully it will actually be warm on a regular basis bi then — DAMN THIS COLD). Sorry, it’s gloomy here and I’m a child of the sun.
EMG-Zine, an electronic fantasy and science fiction publisher has put out a call for short stories with a theme of Jewels. So if you have a gem of an idea that you can plop dead-center in the middle of the future or an alternate reality, get the old digits dancing across that keyboard and shoot these folks a story. The deadline is May 1st, 2011 and they’re looking for flash fiction from 750 to 1,000 words or short stories between 1,000 and 2,500 words. They’re a non-paying market, so don’t think you’re going to become Daddy Warbucks, but a writing cred is a writing cred… and having your name out there is good for your SEO. Google that one. It’s important.
