Hi, all.
You may remember that I wrote a middle grade fantasy about magical sled dogs. I did pitch my manuscript of The Galdur Snow Dog to two publishers, but unfortunately, neither of them accepted it. Oh well, welcome to the writing life.
I’m keeping my eye out for other possible publishers, but in the meantime, I wrote a manuscript for a middle grade short story. It’s a retelling of the Ugly Duckling, and instead of a duckling, the main character is an Arctic fox pup. She’s raised by a family of King Charles Spaniels, but she’s the oddball of the bunch. Unlike her siblings, she loves diving nose-first into the snow, and a touch of her tail has accidentally shocked others with super static. She later finds out that she’s not only a fox, but she’s also a fox who contributes to the Northern Lights. If you’re familiar with Elf Pets: A Fox Cub’s Christmas Tale, you would have an idea of what that kind of fox is like.
I submitted my fairy tale retelling to a publisher who accepts short stories, so now it’s wait and see.
