Ah, The Joys of Acceptance.

Big news. I'm getting published! Well, the publishing company has accepted my manuscript! Eeeeeks! So excited! What's getting published? Well, prepare yourself for a story.

When I first came to Malaysia I surveyed the general reading populace and their interests. My brother and I came to the conclusion that the horror genre, whether it is in the form of a film or a book, seemed to be quite popular. So, just for fun, I'd thought I'd take a shot in writing some short stories.

I submitted to two publishers. The first one was Pelanduk. I emailed them and sent them a hard copy and I heard nothing from them. Discouraged, I put the project on a shelf for a bit. Then I did more research and stumbled unto Times Publishing after perusing countless bookshelves at several bookstores. So I emailed in a story and a book proposal. To my surprise, they responded quickly and seemed interested. And today, I got an email saying that they are interested in publishing my stories! Hopefully, if everthing works out, expect to see my books on the shelves :-D
