Just a reminder for those who write and submit that submissions are open until August 31 for Slapshots in Space and Magical Marathons. This anthology will be co-edited by Colleen Anderson, Paula Johanson and myself, and is seeking poetry and fiction revolving around speculative takes on sport. Details are available at the Tyche Publishing web site, https://tychebooks.com/submissions/.
July has been a bit of a lull time for writing. Hoping to pick things back up in August or, worse case, September. That being said, I have made progress on some projects.
