So I thought I'd have a look at how some of my upcoming publications were progressing. I went to the Coyote Moon Publications web site to see how ShadowSword mag was getting along- and I found a note to say the publisher has folded! They cancelled publishing my story (and all others, obviously) and didn't tell me.
It also had this note:
Additional apologies to anyone who has not received a personal e-mail from me about this matter. Some of the addresses I had on file were apparently out of date or non-responsive, and my ongoing troubles have included internet connectivity problems.
The contact addy I gave them has been in use for a good 10 years, and is still my main one. I wonder how long it's been cancelled for.
So now I have to find another market for Girl Power. Which isn't easy, as it's humour. That means most of the Aussie SF community, for example, write it off a priori as having 'nothing to offer the reader' (apart from ASIM, of course, who accepted it into their round 3 but it wasn't picked up by an editor).
Anyone know any good humor markets?

So sorry to hear that, Cav. :( And I can't believe you had to hunt them down to find out what was going on. Not good at all.
You might try FarThing when they reopen. They did publish my talking fish story. . .
Best humour market I know of is Defenestration... 'cos they took one of my stories last year.
:o)
