One of Linda Simoni-Wastila’s wee fictions has found a nest. “Mama Loves Birds” up at Blue Five Notebook.

The Best British Short Stories 2012, in which Dan Powell has a story included, was published at the beginning of this week. Dan’s local library will be buying in a copy and are asking their reading group about his doing a reading and/or some kind of writing workshop for them. Also, Dan’s story, “Peekaboo”, has been accepted for the imminent National Flash Fiction Day anthology Jawbreaker. Dan has been quite busy. He was interviewed by Nuala Ní Chonchúir regarding his writing over on Nuala’s blog Women Rule Writer.

After a six month break Mari Juniper is back to writing. Here is the article she wrote for #Amwriting.org, the important lessons she learned from her time away.

Tom Gillespie has signed a publishing deal with Crooked Cat Books and his new novel, “Painting by Numbers”, will be out later this year.

Eric J. Krause is having a release party for his young adult paranormal novel, “Ghost Betweens”. You can join in while it runs from April 24th until the 27th.

Congratulations to all!
