I found out yesterday that Bete Noire Magazine has accepted my short story “Bloody Neighbors” for publication in their January, 2014 issue. This is the first piece of original fiction that I’ve sold so I feel good about it.
My goal is finish editing all the stories I’ve set aside to submit and hopefully get a few more published in the next few months. After that, I’m going to start querying agents for my finished novel, as well as editing my other novels. Lately, most of my writing energy has been put towards stories for this blog, but I may have to shift the focus around a little. I will still be posting stories here regularly though, so don’t worry.

This is “That” moment of life!!!! Congratulations! I have read somewhere that the first one is the toughest one, after that they can all go. I so wish and pray that you will some day come to Kolkata to autograph your fans 🙂 and wont it be cool you will come to my home to give me my autographed book?

🙂 If/when I get a novel published, you’ll get one of the first autographed copies. If I ever go to India for any reason, I’ll be sure to go to Kolkata.
