“The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become
morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim
in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together
as brothers.” ― Martin
Luther King Jr.
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”

cj Sez: So, tell me, what writer, aspiring to be published, doesn’t want to know more about
the language of contract options? Specifically, how much do you know about “Negotiating options in
publishing deals?” Writers in the Storm
blog spot invited Susan Spann to do a guest post on the subject, and she went
into some depth—an article
definitely worth reading. And Susan has the credentials to back up her
post. She’s an attorney whose practice focuses on publishing law and business.

The following url list of 2017 short story contests came
across my desk recently, and I thought you might be interested in one (or more)
of them. I haven’t vetted these, so do your due diligence before signing on to
any of them.
Be sure to stop back by on Wednesday, January 18, when
Lyrical Pens will focus a spotlight on Mystery Thriller Week author, Stephen
Perkins and his new novel Raging Falcon
(it’s based on real-life events).
Find out more about international Mystery
Thriller Week authors here: www.mysterythrillerweek.com The event runs from February 12 to 22 on Facebook. I’ll be
participating and giving away surprises, so be sure to stop by when the page goes public. I'll have more info on Lyrical Pens as it gets closer to the date.
I'm on a blog tour at other MTW author blogs next
week, First up is Christina Philippou’s blog ( https://cphilippou123.wordpress.com/ ) on Monday, January 16 (topic is a
question/answer interview).
On Tuesday, January 17, I’ll be on Joe Broadmeadow’s blog (https://joebroadmeadowblog.wordpress.com/
). I’ll be providing excerpts of “Bad Day at Round Rock,” my short story in the
upcoming Western anthology THE POSSE. I’m one of six authors, so THE POSSE
offers a variety of human interest stories, all with the usual action you’d
expect from a Western. “Bad Day” is a tale of history, mystery, myth, greed,
and love, all rolled up into one short story.
You'll have two of my posts to visit on Wednesday, January 18 . . . Lyrical Pens to read the spotlight post on Stephen Perkins and then on to my blog tour stop, where my host will be Jude Roy (http://juderoycajunpi.blogspot.com/
). Deep point of view is the topic of the post. By the way, Jude was recently
named a finalist for the 2017 Freddie Award in the thriller category with his
novel, THE LYNCHINGS. Congratulations, Jude!
If you have a chance to stop by these author blogs, please
leave me a note so I can say thanks!
Another thing to think about: Signing up for my quarterly newsletter for info and occasional prizes. Drop me a note at cjpetterson@gmail.com to subscribe. I’m
