To fill you in (who are you, anyway? It's not as if anyone else will read this.
Ah, it's me. In the future. With Alzheimer's):
My first short story, "Elf Esteem", sold in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine Issue #13(http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/issue13.htm).
TangentOnline.com's review said:
Steven Cavanagh is one of those new names I expect to see appearing a lot more in print. His "Elf Esteem" is a delightfully written quest tale with quite a twist. There are elves, orcs, and dragons in this story of someone trying to retrieve an important artifact, but not quite the way one expects to see them. Especially from the point-of-view of . . . no, I won't even give that much away. But the end has quite a kick!
And it was called a "promising first sale" by Asimov's!
My second short, "One for the Robed" was sold to Infinitas and appeared in their March 2005 newsletter. It can be read at http://www.infinitas.com.au/.
My flash fiction "Predisposed" won a commendation in the NSW Writers Center's 2005 flash fiction competition. http://www.nswwriterscentre.org.au/
My flash fiction "Moving Dad" came 2nd in the Australian Horror Writers Association's 2005 flash fiction competition, and was published in Shadowed Realms issue 6: http://www.shadowedrealms.com.au/main.htm
The Judges said:
Moving Dad presents a clever parody of life after death. This story was highly original, and while not out and out scary, the horror here came from the inevitable reality we are all faced with; we are going to die one day, and there can be no escape from such a future… Moving Dad has strong central characters that express real emotions, and we are able to feel for them because they are so lifelike.
I currently have:
-One short story slated for publication in Agog! press's upcoming Daikaiju 2! e-anthology.
-A short story submitted to the Canberra Spec Fiction Guild's Outcast anthology.
-A short story submitted to Aurealis.
-A 107 word entry in the Shadow Box anthology (120 word limit-love it!).
I'm also working on my first novel, a thriller.
You're up to speed.
