In One Picture: Michal Scott’s “My Heavenly Phantom” (Contest)

In One Picture: Michal Scott’s “My Heavenly Phantom” (Contest)

“Her Heavenly Phantom” by Michal Scott – Forced into a marriage of convenience neither wants, a mild-mannered banker with an intriguing secret discovers his reluctant bride has a secret, too. I couldn’t get into this story for a long time. What finally helped was putting myself in the place of my main characters, who are forced to adhere to 19th-century societal restrictions regarding their race, class, and gender. Under those circumstances, how could such people find an outlet to keep life from being bitter and…

THANK YOU! And starting Friday…

I woke up to see this today: It’s the ranking for the latest anthology, Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology! I could not be more thrilled for the authors inside this collection! I wish I was one of them, but I had to reject the two stories I worked on because they just didn’t…

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

I have a special love for these collections! I started writing novels but quickly got bored of being pigeonholed in certain genres. When I saw a call for submissions for a short story, I thought, what better way to experiment and have a little fun? Soon, I was writing shorties and getting them published in various places. Then I submitted to Cleis Press with ideas for anthologies of my own, and I was on my way. I’ve tried to do…

UPDATE: The winner is…Cindy! *~*~* I sat down to create this post with Rogers’ and Hammerstein’s “Getting to Know You” from The King and I playing in my head.

Born and bred in Brooklyn, NY, I’m a child of the sixties’ Black Power movement and…

Getting to Know Michal Scott (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* Hi, everybody! My name’s Michal. What’s yours? As a lover of Stephen Sondheim musicals, I’ve always wanted to use that line from Gypsy. Not a bad intro for someone who writes short and steamy. Silver Soldiers is my fourth Boys Behaving Badly submission. I loved the stories I contributed to Stranded, First Response, and Cowboys, but I think Silver Soldiers’ “Take Me To the Water” may be my favorite. All my stories are historicals and,…
