I've had a short (very short) story accepted in a flash fiction anthology of zombie stories. This was the first piece of fiction I've written, so it's inspired me to work on some other Horror and SF ideas.

Great stuff :)
Congrats, DB!
My books are historical, with just (at the moment) this one venture into a horror novel, which is new for me, but he (the author) tells me there are more to come. Good, I like it.
LilyC and LeeH are also specialist members of TB's horror team, Dene :P
Good luck with the ghost story.
They're taking submissions for their Daily Flash 2012 anthology at the moment - I've had mine accepted and it would be great if other tber's get in. (Several of us are in the 2011 flash anthology.)

Thanks, I'll check that one out.
Seems that there's still some way to go to fill Unquiet Earth, so I may work on a third submission that I've got an idea for.
Sure, I will check it out and may try to write something.
After struggling for so long to be able to write fiction, I'm now starting to get the hang of it. But I'm sure my early stories will look woeful once I've got a year or two experience behind me!
Now got three zombies stories accepted in this anthology.
Thanks. And don't forget, the customer is always rot :-)
It's in many ways a boost for the aspiring fiction writers, being accepted means they go on to do more, as you are.
Congratulations!
I am about to launch eight new anthologies for SM, look out for them and see if you are inspired!
Indeed. It would have been embarrassing if my story was rejected for this anthology as I suggested the anthology in the first place!

Blimey, that's a lot of new anthologies. I'll keep checking out the SM site to watch out for them.
Btw, do you know how long it is typically for a SM anthology to be published from the date it's open for submissions?
re:acceptances: just accepted two stories, both really good, the standard is pretty high most of the time.
This anthology is now out. Can't wait to get a copy and see my first fiction in print, and looking forward to reading all the other stories.
That zombie one looks really good, DB, wish I had tons of money, I have to put that on the back burner for the moment, having bought Weird City, Adventures In Other Worlds, Oil, Shadows Within Shadows ... all in the last week! I need to sit for a whole evening and work out the ISBN and things to get Amazon to put them on my author page.
At least you have plenty to read for now.
