Congratulations---you are now no longer just a writer but an AUTHOR!!!! I always say, "Almost anyone can be a writer but it takes being published to become and author."

WOW!!!! How exciting. Congratulations. So how soon is you novel coming out? lol. But hey, keep it up and you may be one of the "top ten" authors. My Granddaughter published her 1st book last year. I am so proud of her.

sewnsewer2 10-22-2010 06:49 PM

Awesome, CONGRATULATIONS!! :thumbup:

Mousie 10-22-2010 06:52 PM

wow, that's fantastic!!! I can only imagine how you feel, finally being accepted and going to be published! that's awesome :thumbup:

Lady Shivesa 10-22-2010 06:56 PM

Thank you all so much!! For those who have expressed interest, I will include a link to the 'zine's website. I'm not sure if it can be found in print in Australia or if it is by order only. As far as I know, there is no version you can read online.

While I absolutely adore fantasy, this one falls into the subcategory of superheroes rather than dragons and the like. The story is called "Just a Regular Hero" (don't remember if I mentioned that). Can't say a whole lot about it without giving the plot away!!

Congratulations! May you have many, many more published.
