And in the excitement of Eastercon, I missed checking on whether this year's Mammoth anthology credit is available for purchase. It appears that the UK edition of The Mammoth Book of Urban Erotic Confessions was released on 17 April, so you can find my m/m/m true confessions story on the shelves (or at Amazon UK) right now. Since it's a true confessions story, it's under a pen name. :-> I'm not actually sure what the etiquette is for this sort of thing, as it's the first time I've had a story in a market for what purport to be true stories. The US edition is due out next month.

I've read a handful of the stories in my trib copy. So far they've been well written, although not all to my taste. One of the reasons they're not all to my taste is that there's quite a variety, so plenty of kinks are catered for. Who knows, some of them may even be true...

I need to go into Waterstones and see if there are any copies on the shelf in there. In general I don't mind being mostly epublished, but it does give me a warm glow to see treeware in a bookshop. Mostly I have to content myself with admiring my friends' books, but occasionally there's a ToC I can call my own.

Email waiting for me when I got home this evening, formally confirming that Ye Ed wants my submission for the Mammoth Book of Urban Confessions. At 1p/word advance plus trib copy it's not a huge amount of money, but it's not peanuts either, and I have a soft spot for the various Mammoth series. So this makes me very happy. :-)

Barbara also mentioned expecting to have another anthology call soon, so I need to start thinking of some short story ideas.
