I recieved my response from Wild Rose Press. As you can guess from the blog title, it was a rejection. The email included a list of changes I could make to "Perfect" and they may consider it.
So yesterday and today, I spent banging it, kicking it and whacking it. As you can see by the word count, I ended up adding about 6K. LOL. The editor made some great suggestions and a lot of them gave me a spring board for better ideas. I'm going to resubmit it. They may still not like it, but I think it's a better group of stories.
I got a bit done on "Rough Seas" though I wonder if I'm aiming too high for a word count. *shrug* Who knows.
I'm keeping it short today. Just keeping y'all updated.
One more update. I've made a few changes to "Garden Of Sin". This is my contest entry for Wild Rose Press, due August 31st. It's off to Dayna for slash and burn. Let you know how that goes.
