Well, hey, that's one stand-up dame. Thanks, Martha. Yeah, I
publish a couple of stories, when I can, each month on my
site, and they all feature private eyes. Not all of them are
necessarily hardboiled (not all of them wear suits), but
they're all at least hard-edged, I guess you'd call it. And I
think we've published some damn good stories over the last
year or so.
Hopefully, I'll be printing more fiction soon, now that I've
conned
(OOOPS! I meant persuaded) another Rare Bird, Victoria
Esposito-Shea, to help out with the fiction editing. Vicky's
the real deal. She's a fast reader and a pretty experienced
editor (two years on a law journal--one as production
editor)and a former writing teacher), reviewed mysteries for
a couple years, and I think she has a pretty good sense of
what works and what doesn't. And she's just gotta be more
tactful than I am.
We publish short stories and sometimes excerpts from upcoming
books. Aspiring/perspiring writers looking for a little
exposure (we get 2500-3000 visitors a month) are invited to
send a query letter first. Details and guidelines are on the
site, on the FICTION page.
