"The Woodland King" Accepted for Publication

The ball is rolling now. You know what they say: it never rains but it pours? God poured blessings this weekend.

One of my short stories, The Woodland King, has been accepted for publication by Long Story Short! Look for it to appear on their site (http://www.longstoryshort.us/). It will be in their October issue.

This is very encouraging news and I felt a bit overwhelmed because it came the day after the publisher contacted me. I am joining the ranks of the published!

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24

In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.

I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.
