Small Steps

Posted on by

I’m very slowly working my way back toward creating and getting my work out there.

Today I got my copy of More Hearts For Hounds. This charity anthology contains a reprint of my story Data Dogs – So I’m (ever so briefly) back in print!

I also submitted a story for consideration today. I have very little hope that it will get published, but I sent it. I did the work, I checked the boxes and clicked the security stuff (wow, AI has made sending actual, human made works a major pain in the butt) and the story is out there again.

It’s not about getting that one published. It’s about the act of making the submission and doing the work. It’s not a lot, but there it is. I’ll be sure to post if I hear anything good. YOU be sure to get out there and support your local authors (and their charities)!

More Futures for Ferals by Danielle Ackley-McPhail

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This series gets 5 stars – it’s a charity and this one actually contains one of my stories. Go – buy a copy because all the profits go to charity.

Rescue is not an easy calling, whether it is cats or some other species.
It is hard work with usually no pay, often not enough volunteers, and
very little thanks beyond (hopefully) the satisfaction of making life
better for another living creature. When donations are low, rescuers
draw on their own funds to take care of their temporary charges, and
not even just the basics of food, shelter, and necessities, but medical
costs or even end-of-life care.
This collection seeks to share some of that burden. The profits from
the campaign that funded these books have already been sent to A
Future for Ferals, a 501c3 registered charity, to mitigate the costs of
rescuing over fifty cats in one day from a hoarder house. Of the fifty
cats, only two had been neutered. The vet bill was over $4000 to neuter
the rest and take care of the necessary medical care some of the cats
needed resulting from neglect.
