I've just been told that some news regarding my writing has recently appeared on the Internet. In short, this is it, that Eibonvale Press, as announced on their blog a couple of months back, will be releasing a collection of my fiction under the title, Defeated Dogs.
On the blog, the collection is described as retrospective. This is true – there's at least one story in it that dates from last century. However, all of the work will be previously uncollected, though some of it will have been published in journals, as chapbooks, or anthologised, etc. I'm slightly hazy on some of the details, which I'll fill in on this blog as they become clearer, but I think the collection should contain between 11 and 13 stories.
I was rather hoping the title of the collection would also be 'retrospective', so to speak, but judging by my life at present, it's turning out to be rather topical, worst luck. Partly I don't mind – I like dogs and feel myself getting doggier with the passing years. Defeat, on the other hand, is… well, I don't think I'll get into that before breakfast.
Anyway, watch this space, as they say. I'm also hoping to be able to announce some other publishing news, non-Eibonvale related, that is, before very long.
