Day Five....I'm still going...

OK, today I've decided to use the prompt over at Not Without Poetry supplied by the wonderful Jeremy Edwards. It's a little sad, so please forgive.

Gone

She gazes at the empty chair

across the table,

as she lifts her coffee to her

turned down mouth.

Eyes are full of tears

as she recalls

his voice as he asked how she slept.

They fall as she remembers

the motion of his hands

as he dunked his toast

into his tea.

She hears the swish of the pages

as his long fingers turn the 

newspaper to the obituaries.

She laughs bitterly

as the ghost said,

as he did every morning

"Guess today's a good day,

because my name's not in here."

She cries in pain, and anguish

as she gazes at the day's page,

and sees his name.

Shouting it from the rooftops

I have received notification (and the contract) that I am OFFICIALLY going to be published in FRENZY, from Cleis Press, which will hit shelves sometime in October!!! (But can be pre-ordered now by following the link *wink wink*)

This is my first story being published in actual print (ever) and it's my first erotic story that's been submitted for publication. Of course it was requested by the wonderful Trollop with a Laptop, the amazing and talented Alison Tyler - who now has a page in Wikipedia (and I say it's about damn time).


I posted about the book about a month and a half ago, but it turns out it was a little premature. It was also titled Flash Fucking back then. So the title has changed and I am so proud to be a part of it with talented authors like Jeremy Edwards and Andrea Dale, both of whom are names to be reckoned with in the genre.

MY NAME IS ANGELL AND I - WRITE - EROTICA!!!!
