Of Souls and Displeasures

'Displeasures' still languishes in round 1 at Andromeda and I'm getting nervous. It suggests whoever read it first either gave it a 'no' or a 'maybe' and passed it on to another reader. Oh well, no point fretting about it.

Yesterday, I started writing a story for Black Sails called 'Soul Cargo'. I did my best to think outside the box of typical pirate fantasy ... but I think I've gone too far outside, to the point where it won't be 'piratey' enough. I like my narrator's voice and the idea is okay, but it's turning out to be more of a ghost story. It could do well at another market, I suppose.
