Mog's in a book! (update)
10 years ago
General
A few months back, I teased about getting in print for the first time. I thought I'd give an update to what's going on, at least as far as I can because the final details haven't been hammered out yet.
There was an open call for submissions to an anthology called Fragments of Life's Heart. The theme of the anthology is love and all of its various forms. It's not an erotic anthology, so it'll be awhile yet before you see my porn in print, (but I'm working on correcting that. ^.^) I heard about a shortage in a certain category and two characters y'all might know came to mind. A certain otter and mole.
I wrote a slice-of-life story about Freya, (Geoffrey,) coming out to her father. And what do you know? They said it was good enough to see some real ink in a for real book. ^.^ Still pretty stoked, if you couldn't tell.
Now, the details I can't give yet, because not even the editors know all of them, but it's tentatively going to be an Anthrocon release. Also stoked about that, because I'll be there for it, God willing. I'm sharing title space with some truly amazing talent in furry lit. (I'll post a list of the names once all those details are sorted, but there are some BIG names, and I'm super humbled to be in with them.)
So, the details about the story I know the most about, mine. I'll be posting a teaser when it's allowed, but until then, I'll share with y'all what I can here and now. If you're familiar with Geoffrey/Freya and Douglass, then you've already read at least one of the two stories about them. This story takes place chronologically between Turnabouts and Expectations. As stated earlier, the story focuses on Freya coming out to her father while Douglass is getting ready to go to basic. It's written from Freya/Geoffrey's point of view, and focuses on her story as she decides to leave her alternate persona behind for good as she makes a fresh start at university.
More good news if you liked either of the stories. I'll be doing a rework Turnabouts to bring it up to snuff with my writing ability now. This will be released a promo for the anthology. (The erotica in it will remain intact, as I've already spoken to my editors about it and they gave me the thumbs-up,) however, if they change their mind about that, since I'm working for them now, you'll still get a tasteful but non-pornographic fade to black.
Additionally, Expectations will be reworked into a novella instead of a short story, expanding on the parts that need expansion. This may or may not be seen, because the plan is to submit it to Hot Dish to see if they'd be willing to take it. If that's the case, the iteration of it that's up right now will be taken down, (for obvious reasons,) but if it's rejected, the novella will be posted for you to read. This will likely be after the release of Fragments of Life's Heart, though.
One more little thing that I'll throw in here. To promote the story even further, I have an idea for the next story in this universe that I'm planning on releasing around the time of the launch. It will be the story between the one in the anthology and Expectations. If you're wondering why I'm not mentioning the anthology story by name, it's because it has a working title that I don't like, and I'll let you guys know what it's called as soon as I figure out what it's going to be called. *giggles*
Thanks to all my readers for reading what I write, especially those that have given me critique over the years. I'll forever strive to write better and better stories for you guys, because you're worth it. ^.^
Mog's new to the publishing scene, but watch out for him, because I'm not going to stop until I'm a regular there. *big moogle hugs* And I'll be posting updates as information becomes available from here on out.

I'm excited. Buy the book ^.^
Seriously, I'm looking forward to it a lot. If you're familiar with some big furry names, I think you'll see why I'm just humbled and honored to share tittle space with them when I can post the list of authors.
