Welcome to the Darkside...

...join me, Akasha Savage, as I brave the deepest dungeons and scale the misty mountains to achieve my dream: to see my novel Bathory in print. I will take you by the hand and keep you beside me as I cross this uncharted territory...

A Good Rejection!

Last month I sent off my short story: Calling 666, to a magazine. It wasn't chosen for publication, but someone had taken the trouble to write this on my rejection slip:
Your writing style is good, as is your command of language. Please send us more of your work.
I had a smile on my face all day!


My novel is rolling along nicely.
My word count is going up up up.......

:D

  1. Akasha, I got a similar rejection about four years ago. And you know what? I didn't follow up on it. That was just plain stupid on my part. I know you won't do the same. Stick with your writing and keep sending out your stuff... And good luck with the novel!
