Drive, She Said.

My story, Drive, She Said, has just been published in Cover of Darkness, #12.

It was my first effort at writing when I decided to give it a go. (So Sad, The Lighthouse Keeper was my second attempt).

Drive, She Said went through several rewrites, of course, with the last couple being under the guidance of Paul Haines as part of the AHWA mentor program. We both had hopes for this beast, so I'm thrilled it has finally been released.

And, you have to love the advertising blurb - especially when it includes the words "features", "supernatural horror", "Australia" and "Steve Cameron."

At Cover of Darkness, as many of you have already discovered, we do the Dark Side right.  If you’re quiet while you read, you can actually hear your hair rustling as it tries to stand on end.  This issue features “Shut-In” by William C. Rasmussen; “Posey,” by Mark Walsh, and the supernatural horror “Drive, She Said,” by Australia’s Steve Cameron [don't worry, we turned the words right-side up].

Out of interest, the sequel to this story, If You Give This Girl A Ride, was published a few months ago in Cover of Darkness, #11.  Does that mean Drive, She Said is now a prequel?

If You Give This Girl A Ride.

I've just realised that my story, If You Give This Girl A Ride, has been published in Cover of Darkness #11. It slipped in under the radar, as I wasn't expecting it to be released for quite some time yet.

The print version can be found here, and it should shortly be available in e-form, here.

Ironically, this story is set after another story in the sequence, Drive, She Said, which has been sold but is yet to be published. It shouldn't make any real difference, though. It is stand alone, and rather than If You Give This Girl A Ride being a sequel, Drive, She Said is now a prequel.

I think.
