Next week I’ll see my fiction in print for the first time.
No, it’s not my first publication (check it out!) but this is the first time there’s going to be a hard copy version. Something physical, with my name on it.
It feels more real and permanent than digital which is both exciting and intimidating.
More on how/why I came up with ‘Searching for the Perfect Beat’. I wrote it in only a couple of weeks (damn, I can write something worth reading in less than a year!) but the ideas had been percolating for a while.
My story is in very good company. Every single one of the stories in this anthology comes at the 1518 dancing plague from a wildly different angle and I love the way all the writers have played with the history.
I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
