Mistoreth's Eyes Rejected

[cathschaffstump]

Mistoreth's Eyes has been returned by Cat Scratch Press.

Positive feedback: Your tale definitely had the darker feel that I was looking for, but it lacked the classic elements that make a story into a Gothic Romance. Keep subbing this one, though -- there is a home for it out there, I am confident of that.

Only Blood is Thicker Than Water remains alive in the Wiscon submission pool. I don't think I'll be hearing on that one anytime soon, as David is doing some editing, so it will sit in a slush pile for a while. That's pretty much my submissions since May accounted for, then.

I will need to find a market for Mistoreth's Eyes eventually. It's a novella, so I'll have to keep my eyes open. If any of YOU know of anything, ping me.

Meanwhile, I continue to make Substance of Shadows ready for its rounds. I am a novelist firstly and foremostly, so may as well concentrate on my strengths.

It does sound like you're close, there. Hopefully your next sub there, then, will fly :)
