I submitted a story yesterday, and I’m looking to submit another in the next couple days.

This year is the Year of the Horse, and so one of the many anthologies out there looking for writers is wanting to do things focused on horses.

Well, I happen to have a horse that shows up in most of my stories.

Captain William Carter has a warhorse that is rather fun to write. Leroy. Yes, he is named after a rather fun song that came out a while back.

Leroy is a bit of a beast. Fearless, and yet smart. Also, he’s always there. From the 1770s to the 1870s, every story that has a horse has Leroy. I’ve never explained it, but it is the same horse every time. He’s been Captain Carter’s partner for a long time, and he knows what he’s doing.

Now the anthology wants stories between 1-6k, and the story I have in mind to send them is just over 5k, which is right in their ballpark. So I’m going to give it a nice little run over tomorrow, make certain it gives Leroy all the attention he deserves, and send it in. This is going to be fun.
