It's been 632 days since I last updated this "News" section of my website. Yes, I did the math. That is nearly two years.
What this realization tells me is that social media is how I prefer to spread news. I do see the value in updating it here, so I cannot bring myself to delete this section entirely. Social media is the best way to stay updated on my progress as a writer, guys, so find me there if you can. Nonetheless, this page has some good memories for me, so I shall keep it.
So... What have I been up to, you ask? Making books, of course! :)

In other news, I am incredibly proud to announce that my daughter, Simone Goddard, has a story in the upcoming Kids Create anthology through Visionary Press Collaborative. We worked together on this one, but I'd say Simone did 90% of the work, so I must give her credit where it is due! My other daughter, Sophie, is doing the illustration. VPC is shooting for a mid to late September release date. To find out more about this publisher visit:

This update is a little late. Wait a minute... I say that EVERY SINGLE TIME! Haha. Sorry. Maybe I'll never be the kind of writer who stays on top of updating my website, but I do hope I'm the kind of writer who brings thrills and chills to the reading masses. That being said, AXES OF EVIL is now available! (Well, actually, it's been available for a couple weeks now. My bad.)

Great news! My story "Blood On The Highway" has been accepted into the holiday horror anthology, A Very Strangehouse Christmas. This gig pays $20 and a free copy of the book. Someday I hope to make $200 per story, but for now I feel accomplished at having landed so many paying publications lately, even if my pockets aren't exactly overflowing. Plus, Strangehouse Books is an excellent publishing house. Lots of eye candy, promos, and most importantly... lots of content! Check them out there: http://www.strangehousebooks.com

Quixotic: Not Everyday Love Stories is now available. It's only 99 cents on Kindle and $5 for a paperback! Quixotic is a diverse collection, featuring twisted love stories from several genres. My story "Dying To Be With You" is exactly what you'd expect from me--horror. But there is a lot of drama, sci-fi, suspense, and just plain WEIRD fiction in this anthology. Here are the purchase links, if you're interested:

My short story "Gateway Drug" has been accepted for publication in Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers through Horrified Press (http://horrifiedpress.wordpress.com). This anthology has an interesting theme and should be a very fun read. I'll post an update when it's available.
As for what's going on with me, personally, as a writer... I am feeling the need to slow down on short stories and concentrate on writing a novella. I've never published anything longer than a short, and I know it is a necessary step to earn my chops as an author. There's one more anthology I'd like to submit to before concentrating on a novella. The deadline is August 1st, and I've only managed a few paragraphs so far. We shall see if I can make the deadline!
After that, though, I plan to slow down on the short fiction and focus my efforts on something longer. I will still post updates here, as I have a TON of work coming out this fall / winter. Stay tuned.

I just received word that my story "The Gift" has been selected to appear in Bleed, a horror anthology for which all the profits will be donated to the Children's Cancer Fund. I'll post an update as soon as the book is available, so that everyone can help out this wonderful cause! I'm particularly fond of this story. I tried to incorporate a message of love and hope amidst chaos--in this case, humongous bats. I think my readers are going to dig this one!
July 1st,
My flash fiction story "IDK" appeared in the June Issue of Yellow Mama.
Also, my flash story "The Heart Scarab" appeared in the June issue of Sirens Call. Here is a direct link to the PDF, totally free to view: http://www.sirenscallpublications.com/pdfs/SirensCallEZine_June2013.pdf
I'm hoping to add a section to this website, providing links to all the interviews I've done online (that is, interviews with ME). I spend quite a bit of my free time interviewing fellow authors, so I think it's only fair that I promote my own interviews as well. :) Finding the time has been difficult. Life has been busy. Hopefully I'll get to it soon!

The past few weeks have brought lots of activity on the writing front. Recent acceptances include: my story "The Lengths" in the upcoming issue of eSci-Fi Magazine (I will post a link when it's out). My story "The Blue Girl" landed a spot in a Sirens Call Publication anthology, and I will have a piece of young adult fiction in an issue of Dark Moon Digest. So much news. And now we sit back and wait for these projects to come to fruition. Patience, my darlings. :)
March 21st, 2013
My poem "Within These Walls" was accepted for the October issue of Infernal Ink Magazine (http://hydramstar.com/Infernal_Ink.html). I'll post another update / link when October rolls around.

Good news! I found publishers for both of the flash fiction pieces that were slated for a 2013 Pill Hill Press anthology. As stated in my previous update, PHP closed its doors and these stories were homeless. One of them--entitled IDK--will appear in the June issue of Yellow Mama webzine. The other--Bare Minimum--is available for free download in the February issue of Sirens Call! You can grab a copy here: http://sirenscallpublications.com
I'm happy I was able to place these stories so quickly! Everything worked out in the end. :)
January 24th, 2013
Some bad news. Pill Hill Press has closed its doors, so my flash fiction stories "Bare Minimum" and "IDK" will not appear in their Daily Flash 2013 anthologies. As a former editor, I perfectly understand the strain and the unrewarded workload of running a publication, and I wish the editors well. I'll find another home for these stories.
In a bit of good news, I thought I'd share the cover art for Mistresses Of The Macabre, which is coming out through Dark Moon Books this Spring. It is amazing. My story "Out With The Old" will be in this one.
Also, please click below to check out the website for Ladies Of Horror 2013! I'm excited to take part in a LOH anthology again! So there you have it, my most recent update. With the bad news comes the good news, and so goes the writing game!
September 4th, 2012
I should have updated this section a while ago with the good news, but life has kept me very busy! My short story collection, Quick Fix: A Taste Of Terror, is now available in print. Kindle version coming soon. You can pick up a copy on Amazon. Just click the cover below:
August 1st, 2012
My story "Out With the Old" will be published in the Mistresses Of The Macabre anthology, put out through Dark Moon Books. This is my third paying publication since I started taking writing seriously again this past year. It's a great motivator. It goes to show that even though I'm pressed for time, having three little ones, I can still produce quality work that gets the recognition it deserves. I've always been a writer. I've been seeing my stories published since as far back as the age of fifteen, yet there were periods of time when I allowed the stress of real life to weigh me down and I started to think "What's the point?" The older I get, the more I realize the point: Writing is a part of who I am, and if I'm going to do it, I might as well get paid. I hope to have plenty more announcements like this in the near future, but for now you can visit www.darkmoonbooks.com to stay updated on this anthology. It is scheduled for a late summer release. To any aspiring writers out there, I'll leave you with a bit of advice: If you cannot picture your life without writing, then write. Write and write and write until someone pays you for it! Never let anyone make you feel as though you're wasting your time, because someday they just might be asking for your autograph. :)

I'm excited to announce that you can now purchase a copy of Night Terrors at many retailers, such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com, or directly from KayellePress.com. Easier still: I've linked the image above directly to the Amazon page! Are you short on cash? The Kindle edition is only $3.99!!
Also, stop by and check out my author interview on the Kayelle Press website, where I talk about my story "Product 9" and many other things. Here's the link for that: http://www.kayellepress.com/2012/04/author-interview-lindsey-goddard

In other news, the Western anthology featuring my story "The Moonlight Swamp Monster" has a title, a cover, and is slated for release within the next couple of months! Perhaps my opinion is biased because my story is a part of this book, but doesn't "Welcome To Hell" have the most eye-catching cover you've seen in a while? I adore it! Need I mention that all of these stories were selected by Eric S. Brown? If you haven't read his work, suffice it to say I suspect these stories will be action-packed. Mr. Brown knows how to move a plot along and keep the reader flipping pages, and I have a feeling this book will be the same. I am honored to be alongside some great authors, whose work I respected long before sharing a table of contents with them.

My flash fiction story "Bare Minimum" has been accepted for publication in "Daily Flash 2013: 365 Days Of Flash". Visit the Pill Hill Press website for updates!

Hello! This is where I'll post news updates about what's happening with my writing projects. Recently I heard back from E-volve Books, formerly known as Naked Snake Press (click here to visit their website) concerning my story "The Moonlight Swamp Monster". I'm proud to announce it will appear in their western themed horror anthology this year! I also heard from Kayelle Press (click here to visit their site), and they bought my romantic insect story "Product 9" for their upcoming anthology, Night Terrors. How can a story about bugs be romantic, you ask? Well, you'll have to find out! :) Also, watch for my reprint "A Child's Game" in the October issue of Twisted Dreams Magazine.
Come back soon for more news updates!
