With the coming of a new year, Whimsical Publications is putting on a nifty
new face. Aren't the pages cool? Yes, I'm from the generation where the
word "cool" stands for something other than the type of weather one is
having. Thankfully, WP is in the 21st century.

Some would ask why the change? Our response: why not. Change can
bring new life to an old engine. Without change, there is only dull and
boring.

2012 brings more focus on the authors. It brings ways for the reader to
see more of what they are about. To learn their style. To discover new
faces or reunite with old friends. It will have some items remain as they
are, like helping to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. It will have new stuff,
like an annual anthology book focusing on the seasons (which we are
taking submissions for the Spring Flings Anthology now). They are or will
be Winter Wonders, Spring Flings, Summer Shades, and finally, the Fall
Frolics.

Now accepting short stories for the Spring Flings Anthology releasing in
April 2012.

WP is taking short stories for the Spring Flings anthology book to be
released April 2012. The open dates for this are Dec 28, 2011 until Feb.
29, 2012 (yes, it is a leap year), with the writers for the book announced
March 7th. Ten authors will be chosen. The stories must have a spring
theme. NO erotica or gore, please. If you have romance in your story, keep
it clean. This will be a family friendly book.

By spring theme, it could be a flower filled thriller/suspense in the
mountains, about new grass growing in a backyard filled with gnomes,
about a romantic gathering in spring in the city of your choice, anything
that has the ending of winter and the coming of warmer weather, new life
type concept involved. Remember, this is a family friendly book, so no
erotica or gore. Keep it clean. Heart racing is good, just not a bloody
mess. (Pardon the pun for those visitors from across the pond, lol.) The
book will be in both print and ebook formats, with each author receiving
two copies of the print book.

Word count limit is between 5k - 10k.

Place the words "Anthology Submission" in the subject heading and send
the completed work to submissions@whimsicalpublications.com by
February 29th. No partial stories will be accepted.

And our other ongoing event:

The Third Annual Whimsical Publications JDRF Fundraising Event, from
September 1, 2011 thru March 31, 2012, is still going on. While the good
feeling of receiving gifts is still in your heart, why not give the gift of life to
someone with Type 1, juvenile, diabetes.

Whimsical Publications will donate $1 for every ebook and $2 for every
print book purchased through the WP website. A tracker has been set up
on the JDRF page so you can follow our progress. No purchase is required,
though. A separate donation link is provided for those who wish to help
without making a purchase. Click on one of the sneakers to go to the JDRF
page, or click
here.






So, in short, new and exciting things are going to happen in 2012 for
Whimsical Publications, its authors, and our readers. As events are
arranged, the information will be posted here so you, the reader, can show
your favorite author how much you support them. I'm sure they will
appreciate it a lot.
