Hi Readers,
Not to toot my own horn (ok, I guess I am), but I just won my third short-story contest! It's on a forum I frequent, and the wins have given me the courage to enter some stories for publication in a few magazines! I just submitted my first story (not published here - I'm not sure what the rules are but don't want to have any trouble) to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. I also am submitting a story to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and I have a few others in the works. We'll see. I'll update once I know anything (should be a few months).
The one I submitted for Ellery Queen is called "The Imagination Game", and it revolves around a man trapped on a commuter train by a woman from his past. As she drags him on a trip down memory lane, the perfect life he has worked so hard to construct slowly unravels around him.
The other one I wrote for Alfred Hitchcock is called "Don't Save the Children", and it involves a woman who is stuck in a huge traffic jam on New Year's Eve when she gets a call from her daughter. The daughter is babysitting for a new family, and after the power goes out, the daughter notices someone has entered the house carrying a large knife. The woman panics as she tries to convince her daughter to leave the house, but the daughter is insistent that she must save the children.
Thanks for reading! I'll keep posting new stories as soon as I write them!
J Elyse
