short published

Rah. I guess that's a milestone. :)

So work is in full swing, but this year isn’t quite as bad as last (knock on wood) so I’m finding myself with at least some time to spend writing. Rah! I also kept busy this summer – mostly behind the scenes. But. I did finish up a novella, sent it to a group of ‘friendly readers’, and am now about halfway through a rewrite. I’m still considering sending this one in for publication, depending on how much I like it once I'm done.

I also wrote and had accepted a short story for Dreamspinner Press. :) Brazos Mud and Horn-Rimmed Glasses will be part of the anthology Higher Learning, and is due out October 17 (no GR entry yet, that I'm aware of).

For those familiar with the breadth of my writing, it is contemp, and it is a fluff piece – or as fluff as I get, anyway. Only the merest whiff of D/s in it, and no dark themes.

Oh! And through all of this, I had to finally come up with a pen name that sounds like a name. I’ve come to love the Ocotillo moniker, so am sticking with that. So Eve Ocotillo is who I is. And I even got me a spanking bright website (with not much more on it yet but a link back to here!), http://eveocotillo.com/. I’m happiest to still go by Oco anyway. By now, it feels like me. :p

Hope all are well! To my buds, sorry I’m not around so much these days.

Oco Hey, thank you! :) How very nice.

I have a couple of open shorts at my livejournal account. Or, at least I think they are open. LJ is down at the moment or I'd double-check.

ocotillo-dawn.livejournal.com

and also 2 books of what I hope will one day be a 3 book series (each stands alone), though that one requires an account and that I 'friend' you.

I just saw this post. Congratulations on the short story publication! Fluffy (or pseudo-fluffy) sounds just fine with me right now. I keep my eye out for it. :)

Oco Yay. Thanks. :)

"How to Rape..." is good, btw. Am about 1/2 through.

I need to read that, but I have to want gritty and dark. In the middle of a Special Forces reread isn't that time.


message 6: by Oco (new)

Oco *lol* Yeah. I need to space stuff, too. I'd actually have read it in a night (it's not that long) but I'm still (re) writing that story you read and so... I need sweet beer in between the jalapenos.
