The Fog Horn is looking for short fiction in any genre. They pay $1000 for your story (that's not a typo). Open ended; no deadline.

Blog Stuff:
Samantha Redstreake Geary is holding a bit of a contest. If you leave a review for Beyond the Binding by April 1, you will be entered into a drawing to be immortalized in her current book by name and character. Of course, you'll need to have read it first. But proceeds go to a great cause, and I've got a flash fiction piece in it!
In celebration of reaching 500 followers, Christine Rains is having a huge Speculative Fiction Giveaway, with books from a bunch of spec. fic. writers. It's a fantastic giveaway, so check it out!
Any of these of interest to you? Anything else to share? Any publishing or submission news to share? What in nature stands out to you?
May you find your Muse.

Yay! Thanks for the links, Shannon. I love that picture! It totally reminds me of the mountains where I grew up. I can almost smell the fresh air and feel the cool breeze across my cheek.
Thanks for the links, will check out a few. Nature shots are always welcome, especially in your part of the country (where I've never visited).
A lot of beautiful trees grow that way in Hawaii.
Hugs and chocolate!

I'd like to go hiking there!
Yay for all the spec fic links. Thanks, Shannon! I need to get out soon. Winter will probably be back tomorrow. :)
I always check out those stubborn plants growing where they shouldn't. Nature will find a way if we would just let her.
Hi human, Shannon,
RMNP? Rocky Mountain National Park, pawhaps.
Plants growing out of rocks is well neat. Get lots of heather around where we live.
Blog stuff...Arggghhhh!!!
I just want to share with you I think you are a very nice human.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
I love RMNP. Your picture is making me crave for spring in my mountains, which are still mostly snow covered. Bah.
I would climb all the way up that rock. Beautiful.
I love seeing plants pop out from unusual places.
Thanks for the links. I'll think about submitting to some of these.
Crystal, which mountains did you grow up near?
D.G., glad you like them! In turn, I always enjoy your photos, as well.
Shelly, I've never been to Hawaii. Some day.
Alex, it's a perfect place to hike!
Mary, ha, I know that feeling. 60 one day, 20 the next.
Susan, don't you love them? It's such a message of survival.
Penny, why, thank you! The fields looked like they were full of heather. I'm not sure if it's that or something else, but I love the purple.
Julie, I can't wait to go up and hike this summer!
Maurice, oh, you would have such fun at RMNP.
Medeia, good luck if you submit!
