I would just like to thank everyone who submitted. There were some great stories that we rejected, not for bad writing but because they didn't quite fit the theme.:)

I would also like to thank Boneman, aka J Scott Marryat for his efforts. He has gone over and above what any normal editor would do to help Chronners get into the anthology.

And grateful thanks to IBrian and the Mod team. Without their patience with me, this would have never been possible.:)

So in no particular order the stories being published (subject to contract) are:

Jo Zebedee (Springs)
Damaris Browne (the Judge)
Aty Behsam
Christian Nash
Bob Lock
Chris Milne (Mr Orange)
John Brady (Alc)
Ian Whates
Joleen Kuyper
CT Grey (CTG)
Ken O'Brien (Foxbat)
The Dusty Zebra
J Scott Marryat (Boneman)
Richard Kilner (Thad)
Teresa Edgerton
Stephen Palmer
Susan Boulton
Tim James (Perpetual Man)
Toby Frost
Nathan Hystad (Ratsy)

There are a couple of others still being considered so I may add to the list then the book will go to legend that is Mr Chris Penycate for copy-editing.

This anthology, Joseph Rubas' After Midnight and Teresa Edgerton's Goblin Moon will be up for exclusive pre-order on the Tickety Boo website over the weekend. There will be a special price for Chronners (I will provide a voucher code so you can claim the Chronners discount) so don't miss out on the deal as it finishes 24 hours before publication date when prices go back to normal.

Publication Dates:
After Midnight 30th April
Goblin Moon 30th April
Malevolence 7th May

As will be the case on all our books, pre-orders will be taken on the TBP website only. On publication date they will be available on all platforms. The best deal will always be on the Tickety Boo website.:D

Oh... and great job, everyone!
 
Well done everyone.

I'm particularly pleased for Joleen (who's my friend), as she's had a bit of a stressful time recently.

I do love her story, Mouse. Keep an eye out for "Tragedy in Room 13." It's brilliant.

Which means per head of population, my town has the greatest representation of writers in the anthology!!! ;)

Congrats to those who got in; commiserations to those who didn't
 
Speaking personally.

I am gutted that I didn't make it. I tried something a bit different but I didn't pull it off.:(

But...

There is always book 2 in the "Tales from Beyond the Veil," series!

Huzzah!
 
Haha Gary how about you write all the stories for book 2, but just change your name a bit for each one?

Garey Comptin
Gory Campton
Giry Cemptan

etc etc, no one would ever know ;) ;)
 
Yay, well done, everyone! :D

I think I might faint, looking at that list. What a fabulous collection!

Haha! Good idea, Kylara. :D

Sorry you didn't make it. Your story was a valiant attempt. There's always next time.:)
 
Haha It was rather desperately clinging to the Malevolence theme I must say. It diverged a fair old bit from the original idea. I am sad that all of yours didn't quite make the last few yards too :( .

I look forward to all future works by Garey, Gory, and Giry with great anticipation ;)

p.s. Tell you where it would fit...in a DRAGON anthology ;) with dragons, and Dragons and DRAGONS! haha ;)

Thinking about that cos Hopewrites was Dragons as well!:)
 
HAHAAAA Hope! HOPE! Come quick and help me lobby a DRAGONS! anthology idea at Gary...also, Mr Chrispy sir, he does dragons too ;) I'm sure Aty can draw us many dragons to fill the pages too :D
How about a sexy pilot of a dragon springs? or a dragon pilot? or ummm a pilot that sees a dragon for a sentence then continues piloting?

Pssst, I like dragons Gary, can we have a dragons antho? pwetty pweeeeseeeeee? *hopeful face*

*giggles in a corner* Definitely think the cream and meringue has given me sugar overload and I am now well past my bedtime as I need to be up at 5am tomorrow! AAaaaaahhhh (it's all these dragons keeping me up)

Hey, we didn't do a new sexy pilots calendar for this year!

Perhaps I was distracted by my David Tennant calendar....

Hey guys, you won't believe this! I just finished a novelette with a :cool: sexy pilot! Now if...

Good luck to all the authors and publishing team with this antho... I'm sure it's good-going-on-superb-leading-to-awesome!
 
Thanks for the info, Gary, and bad luck.

Congratulations to those who are in, and commiserations to those who missed out this time.
 
Congrats to all that made it and to those that didn't, commiserations, but remember Gary has more anthologies planned.
