Forum / Foxhead Books to publish my first collection

  I received my contract for review from Foxhead Books yesterday evening. Foxhead will be publishing my full-length short story collection, The Same Terrible Storm, as of now and at some point later on my collection of flash stories, Where Alligators Sleep.

  Needless to say I'll be signing that lovely thing. It's twenty-three years coming, this book, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

  In the meantime, have a look at Foxhead's first offering, Paul Kerschen's The Drowned Library. This collection will be available November 1, but visit the link below and read a sample. I'm in extremely good company.

  I couldn't have said that any better myself. Your work has always stood out for me here on fn. I am not surprised that your years of hard work and extremely distinctive stories produced such good fortune.

  All this support from you, friends and fellow storytellers, is overwhelming. It should be mentioned that some of the very good folks who have written on this dicussion thread and offered kind words are also some of the people who helped me shape several of the stories that will go into this book. I am grateful to those folks, and to all the others who may have only made one or two comments here and there. Those moments, small and large, that support, is what we're all here for, to lift one another up and let on another know when we could do better. I have been blessed with my fair share of this from all of you and can only hope I will one day be able to do the same for you all. You warm my busted up heart, and for that I'm forever grateful.
