Double Bubble: Publication of Two New but Old Short Stories

IMG_45292010 was the year of short fiction. The year when I only wrote short stories. No, now I lied. I happened to write the odd poem and worked a bit on a novel as well, but my main occupation was to write short stories.
The funny thing is that sometimes it can take just as long to get a short story published as getting a novel published. Now I've got two at the same time. Short stories that is.
One of the stories, A Day in Her Honour, is about mourning a family member and is published by Stand Magazine. I can't find a reseller on the net, so if you want to read the story you could email me and I'll send you a copy. This is how it starts:

The other short story, To be seen or to be felt, is about growing pains and discovering certain feelings. You can read it for free here. Published by Fox Chase Review.

Story Accepted for Publication ... in 2013

Better late than never ... My short story, A Day in Her Honour, is going to be published in Stand Magazine in 2013.

I was inspired to write the story after my grandma died. I was on special discretionary leave, and tried to spend my day in her honour, but it didn't quite work out that way. Especially not in the story I wrote. It became a story in the honour of a fictional mum instead ... I'm very pleased that it's going to be published!
