Valentine’s Day Love

Posted on December 26, 2019

I’m pleased to announce I’ll be co-editing the anthology Burning Love and Bleeding Hearts: Dark and Dangerous Valentine’s Day Tales with award-winning author Chris Mason to be published by Things in the Well Publications due for release on Valentine’s Day. This is a charity anthology and all proceeds will go to victims of the Australian bush fires.

From the call out page: “The theme is Valentine’s Day, so we’re after dark, suspenseful, menacing, memorable tales of human love gone wrong, or monster love gone right!” Submission call is for original poetry and flash fiction up to 1,000 words, but reprints and longer works will be considered if they fit the theme.

If you have something you think is a close fit but not quite – please don’t self-reject. Send it in anyway. We’d love to read your work. Submissions are open until the end of January. https://thingsinthewell.wordpress.com/open-submissions/

Thanks to Luke Spooner for donating this most gorgeous cover design.
