Who's getting published and speaks limited French?

This moi.

A short story I wrote five years ago, The Changeling, accepted into an anthology focusing on fame-worthy women forgotten by history, is finally going to see the light of day after the tireless efforts of the woman compiling the stories, an old teacher of mine.

What's the lesson? In publishing, patience counts.

Seraphim Editions has taken the mantle, and the book, In the Wings, will find flight sometime in late summer/early autumn.

If you're interested in procuring a copy, visit Seraphim Editions at their website. If you need a reason to seek out this rare jewel of a collection, look forward to the readings we'll be doing in Southern Ontario later this year. If you're an Ottawa cat, like me, you might come to a hypothetical reading I'll hypothetically be giving if Seraphim feels the Joe juices are flowing enough up here to warrant one.

If you're a cat out of the bag, you might also be the buzz surrounding the anthology, which has attracted the interest of TV producers looking to make a miniseries out of In the Wings. I shan't, no I shan't say more than that, but will The Changeling be selected for filmification?

Wait and see!
  • Mood: Wow!
  • Listening to: Oh No - Girl Talk
  • Reading: A Feast for Crows - George R. R. Martin
  • Watching: Puppetmaster VI
  • Eating: Mr. Noodles

Canada
As an actor, I've performed for the queen of England. As a film-maker, I've participated in several film festivals, placing first in the Toronto Art Festival 2006, in the digital film category. As a zen gardener, my designs have appeared in the Absorb art show. My poems and short stories have been published in journals and magazines across north America, on and offline. On devART I've received one Daily Literature Deviation commendation for the poem Self-Made Men, and one for The 1998 Housefire At 198 Wentworth Street South. And my music has appeared on radio stations and at concert halls in numerous countries across North America and Europe. I've written music for the bands Ben Caplan and the Casual Smokers, Hobo Sapiens, Uvenburd, and my eponymous solo project. An upcoming anthology of short stories, In the Wings, focusing on women forgotten by history, will include my short The Changeling (unavailable on devART, sorry :3). In the Wings will be published by Seraphim Editions and will be available later this year.

I've met your works while browsing J.R.R.Tolkien Group. I'm surprised, I must say... and I share majority of your points of view. The things you make are amazing and i regret that now I don't have enough time to browse your folders and feel the things you have posted here... Just thank you that you're making them and sharing them with the world. Maybe these words will sound shallow for you, but I dreamt about seeing something like your sand works for many years. It's chilling out my nerves. Thank you. :heart:
