Publishing Acceptance For the Win!

So, last night, in a fit of squee, I got an email from Pill Hill Press, the main publisher I've been getting my stuff published by, stating that they've accepted my story "Cautionary Tales" for their anthology Use More Gun. It's their third in their monster hunter anthology series. I got published in their first one, rejected for the second, and did a follow up story for the one that was in the first one and boom accepted.
If you want to know more about my other published works you could, you know, click on this link. It's awesome.
So some shameless self promotion there.
Also, I read "Anno Dracula" by Kim Newman. Kirean recommended the book to me ages ago and Titan Publishing has been releasing "Directors Cut" versions of the books. "The Bloody Red Baron" was released a few weeks ago (I'm hoping someone gets it for me as a birthday present in less than a month) and then "Dracula Cha Cha Cha" will be released in I think October with the previous unpublished "Johnny Alucard" getting published sometime next year.
Anyway, I read the book and I utterly adored it. There were tons of little injokes and references as well as all the insane detail of the books. The premise is that well, Van Helsing and friends failed killing Dracula and Dracula has taken over Great Brittan. It's better to be a vampire than to be a human, and so on and so forth. Oh, and Jack the Ripper is killing vampire whores.
Excellent stuff.
And I saw "The Avengers". Joss Whedon, I love you even more now.
