This shouldn't be that long though. A few months ago, I put up a post stating that a short story I wrote would appear in an upcoming zombie anthology.
Well, the wait is over, and I can officially say that I am now a published author. Ahh, it is indeed a good day!
My story "Snow Days" appears in volume two of the anthology First Time Dead. I remember how excited I became when I got first received the news, and now that I have the actual book in my hands, it still feels like a dream.
A bigger unexpected surprise were the character illustrations that accompanied each story in the anthology. So my characters are even more real as opposed to just images in my head. That was indeed quite a nice surprise, and I was elated by how close those illustrations were to the actual characters I visualized when I first wrote it.
I'd like to thank May December Publications and editor TW Brown for including my story among the many other talented authors that make up both volumes of First Time Dead. I would also like to thank my family, and my friends both here in NYC and in Maine who helped me with their critiques! This is for you guys!!
This is a milestone for me, and hopefully not the last!
Until then!
The cover's not bad either!
Congrats Donny! You deserve it nd of course this will be only the first of many many more milestones for you!
