I'm so excited, everyone!! So much news to share, I'm just going to list everything chronologically…

Like Naked Taunts will be released in paperback and eBook…
May 15th
Submissions end for KissMet Quarterly's Summer Issue and they open for our first Holiday Anthology…. Instead of a KissMet Quarterly autumn edition, we'll be releasing a special issue…
May 20th
KissMet Quarterly Spring Issue will be available in both paperback and eBook, with eBook pre-orders going on now
June 1st
General submissions for Micromance Magazine reopen…looking for submissions in all categories… if you'd like to submit holiday stories separate from the anthology, that's fine… We will be running only holiday stories the 12 days leading up to Christmas, so if you want to be part of the “festivities” send in a holiday love story…
June 26th-ish
The tentative release date for KissMet Quarterly's Summer Issue - A Serendipitous Summer.. scheduled to be released in paperback and eBook… more details to come…. (And *pssst* there's still time to submit and have your name added to the back cover with the rest of the “shining stars of flash romance” - subs end May 15)…
So things are getting really exciting story around here!
I'd also like to thank Katie Fitzgerald for telling me about Reedsy and allowing the eBooks to be possible. There still may be a glitch or two, and for that I apologize - I'm still learning… but, trust me, they're perfect compared to when I tried formatting them myself….lol…
Also congrats to Katie on becoming the serial romance writer at Clean Reads magazine. A Christian-based quarterly magazine in print and ebook, that prints only clean reads of all genres…
And Miss Katie also has her first flash fiction coming out in Spillwords on Saturday, so I'll be sharing that and asking you all to click the little Spillwords heart to get her those likes… maybe she can be our next nominee for publication of the month!! 😁
Big shout out to Sam Calhoun, Linda M. Crate and Ash Douglas… all three are poetry contributors to MIcromance and are also my bookmates in Literary Revelations new book, Tranquility: an anthology of haiku. Tranquility has been on Amazon’s best seller list since its release nearly two weeks ago in both the US and Japanese markets - congratulations to ALL the contributors, but an especially hearty one to MMs contributors… you are the best!!
And remember…. If we sell 100 copies of any/each anthology, a portion of the profits will be used to fund some fun things for MM - contests, giveaways, maybe donate some books to some free little libraries (thanks Gabriela from Literary Revelations for the idea)…
Thanks a lot everyone…. Hope you're all doing well and still enjoying Micromance being delivered to your inbox every morning…. And please consider supporting not only MM but it's contributors by helping these upcoming anthologies become best sellers!
Have a great weekend…and think happy thoughts…
Gail Lynn, EIC 🥰
