No Heavy Lifting (writing news)
The title of the blog entry comes from a favourite author of mine (Mike Resnick). He always described a second (or third etc) sale of the same piece as a "No Heavy Sale" meaning that he'd not had to do any actual work for the sale. Well I've just had one. Last year a short story of mine (Waiting Room) appeared on UK horror site House of Horror. Well now it's going to appear in print in an American anthology called Dreams and Screams being published by Liquid Imagination. I could get used to this - but I suppose I'll have to write more stories and get them sold the first time before these events are likely to be common.
