September Links

On the very last day of the month The Devils Within http://www.everydayfiction.com/

And http://www.thefrontview.com/2009/09/celebration-of-life-oonah-v-joslin.html This one I really like. A Celebration of Life - one of my shortest chillers ever! And my first in this very smart publication :)

The Trouble with Turquoise at http://www.bostonliterarymagazine.com/fall09poetry.html#fall09turquoise.html
Fret at http://bewilderingstories.com/issue354/fret.html


You know all the songs is up here and I garantee you do know all the songs but who wrote the lyrics? http://www.short-humour.org.uk/writersshowcase/youallknowthesongs.htm

A Tall One all right! Over at Micro Horror http://www.microhorror.com/microhorror/author/oonah-v-joslin/tall-one/

Matter Matters just sort of expanded outside the parameters of my normal length and I was so pleased that it got a home at BwS where you can read it now.
http://bewilderingstories.com/issue352/matter_matters2.html It's about matter and love matters and what matters... Hence the title, I suppose.

Big Bad John is over at http://www.iceflow.com/doorknobs/DOORBODY2.html now

and over at Static Movement you can read
Slivers of Memory http://www.staticmovement.com/sliversofmemory.htm

“We just got in the way,” Todd laughed. He always prided himself that, being a year and a half older, he remembered things that much better. That was how the arguments always began – not that they ever came to blows but they usually parted in sullen mood. “D'you remember Granddad's car?”

Please read the daily poems at http://www.everydaypoets.com/ too.

A good week

Apart from hearing from Eleanor, (see below...)

I have a another piece published and one taken for September. see links...
http://www.short-humour.org.uk/writersshowcase/iwannabelovedbyyou.htm

And the Perseids were very cooperative on Wednesday. From our wee patch of sky we got two southern bound passenger jets - very high... One northern bound (yeah I know!) satelite and more than a dozen meteors - one was so big and bright I could hear it hiss! Okay - but it was spectacular and the night air was balmy and so were we for we stood for an hour getting a crick in the neck!

I had a piece of carpet - off-cut put in my little watching the rain room

EDP was off and then on-line and I finished the choices for September and we may have another team member soon - it's h u s h ;)

Not a bad week!

Surprise message - From my niece :)

I was surprised and delighted when this dropped into my e-mail box :)

There is a new comment on the post "A WEE DRAP OF HOSPITALITY • by Oonah V Joslin". http://www.everydayfiction.com/a-wee-drap-of-hospitality-by-oonah-v-joslin/Author: Eleanor Boshuisen (Kyle)Comment:

I realise this is an old story, but I never knew my Aunt was so talented. Aunt Oonah, this is a great story. I'm coming to Ballymena for a holiday. First time since we left, and I'm going to make sure I see the Causeway. Daddy gave me this site name and told me to go here. I'm not sorry he did, Love Eleanor

I haven't seen Eleanor for Ohhh 35 years maybe? All I can say is I'm glad you dropped by, love and if we can arrange it, I'll see you soon. X :)
