Tiny Dancer here I come!

Again, I'm swamped with work. Don't think you'll be getting much out of me for the rest of this week. EEEK! But I will say that I've been commissioned to write a story in THIS ANTHOLOGY and I'm SO excited to get started!

Tiny Dancer: Shadows at the Stage Door will explore the darker side of stepping into the limelight, using Elton John’s song “Tiny Dancer” to traverse the entertainment industry: past, present and future. Through the speculative-fiction lens the reader will be given front row seats to the stories of a cast, not exclusive to, ballerinas, concert pianists, street preachers, opera singers, performance poets, comedians, rock bands, bards, vaudeville acts, groupies and any other entertainment professionals our twenty-six writers invite to take centre stage.


And guess who else is writing for it? The wonderful Theresa Milstein and Len Lambert! A pleasure to be in such great company, ladies! :o)

Have a great Wednesday all and hopefully tomorrow I'll be back with something a little more interactive :-/

    Hi Jess! Oh I'm so excited about this project and with you and Theresa, my Gosh, I am even more elated! At first I freaked out because I thought an idea wouldn't come to me...now I'm glad I got in! Thank you for mentioning my name. Mwah!

    I hope your story is the one about a street preacher, because that sounds really cool.

    This is SO awesome, Jess. I'm anxiously awaiting your story. (And also kind of cursing you because since you told me about this, I have not been able to get this song out of my head!) xo
