332: About the “Memorable Fancies” series

There are now 47 “Memorable Fancies” posted at terencekuch.com. The title is after William Blake, a major inspiration. I’ve been shopping a collection of my short stories around to publishers (almost all the stories have been published in small-circulation periodicals and anthologies, about half of which were paid, the rest ‘for the love’.) My plan is to include an appropriate “Memorable Fancy” between each story, if that makes sense to the publisher.

I have had one good nibble for the collection, but no bites, and am in search of a publisher. If that could be you, let me know. [I have a novel available on Amazon, but that’s “airport reading,” not like the weird/literary stories I write.)
