My story The Wildflowers (Fantastic Wonder Stories, 2007) has been given an Honourable Mention in the up-coming international Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.
Cool bananas.
I told Ellen that next year, I plan on having a story in the collection...
And on the other side of the coin, an old edition of my article Muncaster's Ghosts was published instead of a new and improved version... bit of a bummer but at least the article still reads okay... This greatly annoyed me, but alas, what can you do?
To cheer me up, I poured myself a scotch and stared at a photo of the castle itself, remembering the weird sounds and strange things that happened in the haunted castle the night I stayed there.....
Actually, that was a great two weeks; I toured England and Scotland without once staying in any cities or towns. Instead, I stayed in B and B's and inns, and spent the days visiting old castles, stone circles, cairns, and of course, Loch Ness.... it was a brilliant time. I certainly saw an interesting side to the country.

Mart, you came to Scotland and didn't even give me a bell? What the hell? I'm sure I could have made time for you. It woulda been great to meet up and have a chinwag about stuff.
:o(
If I'd had known you back then (Feb/March 06), I sure would've taken the time out to catch up, Brian!
