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!
Chum, a literary magazine, has put out a call for experimental poetry and fiction for their next issue. They do both print and electronic publication, so you get the best of both worlds. For this issue they want poetry (without limits), flash fiction up to 1,000 words and short stories up to 7,500 words. It’s an open forum so long as it’s experimental in nature and literary in style. The deadline is June 21st, 2011, so get your stories to them ASAP.
Pill Hill Press is doing a “Told You So” anthology. They want stories about CONSPIRACIES. Have I ever mentioned that I’m a card-carrying conspiracy theorist? Kennedy was killed by the military establishment. Neil Armstrong set his foot down in a studio, but the next crew got to the moon. The same freaks that got Kennedy got King and X… and Lennon. Noriega, Mubarak, Hussein and Bin Laden were all CIA agents. See what I mean? Anyway, Pill Hill wants suspense/thriller stories of 1,500 to 7,500 words. It’s for a one-time publication and they’re paying market, but you need to see their site…they’re not paying much. The deadline is June 18th, 2011, which for some is a VERY special day. 
Pagan Friends is a new digital rag looking to contribute to the pagan community. Their call is for stories that can be both fiction and non, both fantasy or experiential. They don’t want sorcerer stories or wicked-witch tales…. From what I can gather on their site, it appears that they are interested in more community-directed stories that cater to those who take to heard the pagan “genre” for lack of a better word. You should really check out their site before submitting to this one. Consider it a new market that is just trying to get off the ground. Oh, and they’re a non-paying market, but you never know what will happen in the future. The deadline is June 17th, and they’ll take stories between 1,000 and 7,500 words.
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.
