My short story "Salome" has been accepted by the online magazine Jersey Devil for their June issue. It's funny, I've been sitting on this news for about a week. The first story I got published seemed a milestone, but I thought that maybe it wasn't "professional" to keep putting up notices about subsequent ones. I don't consider myself a natural short-story writer but I do have another one rattling around out there which I hope to place soon. I think it's the best I've written so far, but it could easily be a year before I write another one.
Jersey Devil is published in New Jersey, naturally, and they have a small press (Jersey Devil Press) as well. They specialize in the offbeat, as you might guess. The Jersey Devil itself is a Bigfoot-like creature that is supposed to haunt the pine barrens of Southern New Jersey.
I'll post a link once the story is up.

Congrats, Laura. That's great news. And honestly, writing can be so rejection filled, it's always nice to hear good news.
