One of my flash fiction stories has been accepted for publication! Hoorah!
This wonderful opportunity came via gorgeous Debbie over at Bookworm Bites Back.
She blogged about how Caroline Smailes (author of In Search of Adam) was putting together an anthology of flash fiction stories inspired by songs shown in YouTube.
All proceeds of the anthology will be given to One in Four a registered charity which provides support and resources to people who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual violence.
This is probably going to be my first and last story publication success this year so forgive me if I enjoy it a little.
And it’s also for a great cause. More details of Caroline’s anthology project and One in Four may be found in her blog.
The anthology will only be available as an e-book, I think!
:-)
Charlie says: I glide further up the carpet with just one of my toys!
p.s. Huge congrats to all whose stories were chosen especially those of my bloggie friends: Theresa Milstein, Simon Kewin, DJ Kirby...!
p.s. The song that inspired me? Lady Gaga's Bad Romance! Oh yes!
Keep warm!

Congratulations...very good news!
Yay, congrats, but I shudder to think what 'flash' fiction means :)
Seriously, all in the name of a good cause and thus, well done you!
Now then, did you realise that Lady Gaga has a sister named 'Radio'?
And Charlie, what a talented cat! :)
See ya later eh,

congratulations! I think you should celebrate, with a toast of some sort and maybe a little catnip for Charlie, since I'm sure you couldn't have done it without him :)
congratulations and for a good cause. I bet it's not you only success this year.
Charlie, love the way you welcome the new year by forming a giant 'J' with your fabulous body! :)
How super brilliant! Congrats!!
Wow, congratulations!
Congratulations! What great news! Love to read your story when it comes out! :) Now Lady Gaga can add "Muse" to her many accomplishments!

Hi Old Kitty - that's great news .. well done and with a worthy cause in mind. I can imagine Lady Gaga would raise some words from the hidden depths of one's repertoire!

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Congratulations for this well deserved honor, Jenn! I'm sure your story was captivating.
Thank you so much for your kind notes of condolence to me. They were very comforting and greatly appreciated. {{hugs}} It has been a rough ten days and I know there will be more to come but I've had some beautiful signs lately that I'd like to think were form my Mom telling us all she was OK and at peace.
Ooh, that's exciting congrats!! We like hearing exciting news :)

A HUGE congrats!!! That's awesome. And what a great cause, indeed. =D
Congratulations Old Kitty, may you have many more. xx
How exciting! Congratulations! Being in an anthology really is an accomplishment. And maybe if Lady Gaga hears about how she was your inspiration, she'll give you a literary shout-out.
That's so great! Congrats! Wallow in your sucess as much as you like. You earned it. Make Charlie take you out for dinner and drinks.
Congratulations to you and to all those with you in the anthology. That's wonderful.
Congratulations!
I'm happy for you!
Say hi to Charlie!
Bad Romance? I love that song! Can't wait to read your entry in the anthology. I'm sure it's brilliant.
My song was inspired by Violet Hill by Coldplay. A different type of song indeed!
Thanks again for letting me know about the anthology.
That is fabulous!! Congratulations!!
I think YOU should celebrate.

Well done! And here's to MORE successes this year and this not being the only one!
I do so wish Leo would glide across the carpet, he pulls himself along by his front claws and pulls up all the loops in the pile, until we've saved up for laminate floor I've taken to trimming the carpet weekly with nail scissors, a bit like mowing the lawn! xx
Well done! What wonderful news!!!
