Meat and Potatoes

It took a while - longer than intended! - but Short Sharp Shock has published a collection of novellas: Meat and Potatoes (check it out here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/meat-and-potatoes/16216174).

Congratulations to Marjorie Page, Vicki Winslow and John Woodington, the three featured authors! Dozens of writers submitted work and the standard was higher than expected. So, a successful "first" volume of S3 completed...

I say "first" because it's also the last. S3 is shutting down. It's been a pleasure reading the work of so many talented people, and it's wonderful to see first-hand the enthusiasm out there for the novella-form. But, to be blunt, this was always a labour of love, and this particular love turned out to be more of a crush! I'm going to devote my writing and editing skills to my own work, and my limited reading time to my ever-growing collection of books. Selfish, I realize, but nothing mean-spirited about it -- just a finite amount of time/resources and too many projects and priorities that trump S3.

If you've submitted to S3, I thank you, and wish you well in your pursuit of publication.

Best regards,
The Editor
