Short Story Four, Done At Last

I just finished my fourth (ain’t sayin’ final) short story of 2011. Code name: THOA. Will release title and publication info when that’s more finalized. It’s my shortest short story yet, but takes place over the longest time period. It’s currently 5900 words long, but that might get shifted a tad since my editor did say something about a 5k upper limit. I hope he’ll let me fudge a wee bit.

So, let’s see… what can I tell you? If all goes as planned, it will release in 2012. It’s set in during the Renaissance (yes! More historicals!) It’s the thing I was twittering about the other day. And it’s about killer unicorns.

More specifically, it was inspired by a reader. It’s actually the first thing I ever wrote that was so explicitly inspired by a reader. Not that I’m taking requests!

I hope it was not a mistake to mention that part.

Okay, I’m off to sleep, since I’ve had such a busy day throwing Queenie a birthday party. Back later with more on that.
