Publishing Goodness

Lots of good news for me today, which has left me in quite a bouncy mood.
Stoker Award winner Jonathan Mayberry (2006 First novel, 2007 Non-fiction) has requested one of my images for his forthcoming non-fiction work "THEY BITE! - Supernatural Predators in Folklore, Fiction and Film". My 'Gryphon' image - along with a short interview - will appear beside the fantastical creations of many other artists. The book is the 3rd part in his non-fiction trilogy which began with "Vampire Universe", and then the Stoker winning "Cryptopedia: An Occult and Paranormal Dictionary".
I also found out last night that my story 'The Haunting that Jack Built' will be appearing in issue #42 of Aurealis (due out towards the end of this year).
Add to that the announcement of the line-up for Gilgamesh Press's "In the Footsteps of Gilgamesh" anthology - for which I'll be contributing a far-future story of a post-human and his dog called "He Who Saw the Deep" - and I'm a pretty happy camper at the moment.
I have a couple of other things in the pipeline that I can't quite mention yet, but hopefully soon.
And I still have a story called "The Message" out for the Morrigan Books anthology 'Voices', but the deadline for subs there isn't 'til 1st May so I still have a couple of weeks before I hear anything on that one. I normally would have used that extra time to try and polish up the story more, but I was pretty happy with it and worried I'd stuff it up if I started playing with it, so out it went without me agonising over things for a change. I think I followed the theme quite well, so fingers crossed.
