It was my first effort at writing when I decided to give it a go. (So Sad, The Lighthouse Keeper was my second attempt).
Drive, She Said went through several rewrites, of course, with the last couple being under the guidance of Paul Haines as part of the AHWA mentor program. We both had hopes for this beast, so I'm thrilled it has finally been released.
And, you have to love the advertising blurb - especially when it includes the words "features", "supernatural horror", "Australia" and "Steve Cameron."
At Cover of Darkness, as many of you have already discovered, we do the Dark Side right. If you’re quiet while you read, you can actually hear your hair rustling as it tries to stand on end. This issue features “Shut-In” by William C. Rasmussen; “Posey,” by Mark Walsh, and the supernatural horror “Drive, She Said,” by Australia’s Steve Cameron [don't worry, we turned the words right-side up].Out of interest, the sequel to this story, If You Give This Girl A Ride, was published a few months ago in Cover of Darkness, #11. Does that mean Drive, She Said is now a prequel?

Congratulations! How lovely to have your firstborn out there for all the world to read,especially since Paul Haines was the midwife. Nice blurb too - you're sort of a supernatural flag bearer for our entire nation. It's a great honour, and also a great responsibility, but you can do it, Steve, you can!
Thanks, Gitte. As always, I appreciate your support.
Steve.
