Title: I'm Published!
Post by: lys1022 on September 02, 2011, 10:38:10 PM
I am very excited to announce that I have been published professionally for the first time!  I have a short story in an anthology called, "I Should Have Stayed In Oz" which is available through Yard Dog Press.  It is available as a soft cover and as an e-book!

Please take a look, and if you enjoy the idea of some really fun and interesting takes on what happened after Dorothy got back, purchase a copy!

You can get the soft cover at the Yard Dog Press website: 

http://www.yarddogpress.com/I%20Should%20Have%20Stayed%20In%20Oz.htm (http://www.yarddogpress.com/I%20Should%20Have%20Stayed%20In%20Oz.htm)

and you can purchase the e-book through Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Should-Have-Stayed-Oz-ebook/dp/B005IYER1G/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315020737&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Should-Have-Stayed-Oz-ebook/dp/B005IYER1G/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315020737&sr=1-1)


Also, my darling husband (better known as The Gypsy King of Scarborough Faire for the last couple of years) didn't get into that anthology but DID get into the e-book only anthology entitled "I Didn't Quite Make It To Oz" and that is also available via Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Didnt-Quite-Make-Oz-ebook/dp/B005JDRK2Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315020936&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Didnt-Quite-Make-Oz-ebook/dp/B005JDRK2Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315020936&sr=1-1)


Read!  Enjoy!  Tell your friends!  I can't begin to describe how thrilled we both are, and how exciting this is! :)

Well, I declare, dear, one might expect you to be at least a little enthusiastic about such an accompli ---

Oh, wait, you did say EXCITED!!! didn't you. ;D ;D ;D

Fantastic and hoorah for you. 

Now, time to get busy on the next work. ;)

Bigtime grats. Maybe some day I will get brave enough to put some of my stuff out there.  ;D

Congrats, Lys! That's really exciting. I am compelled to get a copy, as I was a huge fan of the Oz books when I was young. I'll insist on you personalizing it for me next April.

A big thanks to those of you who purchased or are planning on purchasing copies of the books!

And yes, I will happily personalize any copies that people bring when they see me at faire or wherever.  It still feels weird to have people ask me that, but a very cool kind of weird! :)
